Dear Aspirant,

MTech/ME is a strictly 2 year course, where as MS may go beyond 2 years.

MTech/ME has more coursework than project work, in MS coursework is minimal and large chunk of credits allotted to thesis. For example, in IISc, MTech/ME students take 12-16 courses whereas MS students take 3/4 courses.

MTech/ME admissions usually depend only on GATE scores, MS admissions usually consist of entrance examination score plus interviews.

MTech/ME students get the degree by finishing the required courses and working in a project upto standard. MS students have to do research on a topic agreed upon by their advisors which will be scrutinized from a research point of view to award the degree.

Hope this information helps you,

Feel free to ask,

Thank you .
