Yes, as a working professional, you can pursue an M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering through distance or part-time education, although there are some important considerations.

These programs are often referred to as M.Tech for Working Professionals and are offered by institutions like BITS Pilani (Work Integrated Learning Programs), IITs (through o

LPU does not yet offer M.Tech in mechanical engineering through distance education or online mode. According to the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Aicte guidelines, M.Tech programs are held, especially in core-technical branches as mechanical, usually regularly in full-time mode due to their practical and laboratory-oriented courses.

Hey, so for LPU's end-term exam in Physical Education, you need at least 30% marks in the end-term itself, plus an overall 40% combining continuous assessment and end-term. That's the standard across their PE programs, and they've got a cool holistic review if you hit the aggregate but miss the end-term bit—super fair way to keep things student-friendly.

LPU really makes it accessible without compromising quality, way better value than many places I've seen. Total for two years is INR2-2.18 lakhs, but first-year payment is straightforward via UPI or whatever. If you're into ph
