The Industrial Engineering and Operations Research group under the Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a M.Tech degree. The M.Tech
programme is carefully designed, with the right mix of tools, techniques, theory and applications, to prepare students for a professional career
in the area. The curriculum involves compulsory courses, electives and a 14 month long research project (M.Tech thesis). Through the research work,
the student is expected to exhibit the ability to think independently and make significant contributions in the field of IEOR. The duration
of the M.Tech course for full time students is 4 semesters (2 years) and for part time students is 6 semesters (3 years).

Important points:
- Electives need not be done in Semester 1 and can be done in Semester 3 instead.
- Reserved Category Students (full time M. Tech), can spread their coursework over 4 semesters. In that case they need to do MTP along with courses in 3rd and 4th semesters. Contact your Faculty Advisor to plan your coursework.
- Part-time (3 year M. Tech) students can spread their courses over 4 semesters, followed by projects in semesters 5 and 6. Contact your Faculty Advisor to plan your coursework.
- M.Tech thesis topics are typically allotted in the 2nd semester.
- On MTP 1 and MTP 2: MTP 1 presentation & evaluation is held at the end of 3rd semester (October); and MTP 2 final presentation & evaluation is held at the end of 4th semester (May-June). The final defence (MTP 2) will include an External Examiner from outside IIT Delhi and an External Examiner from outside IEOR Department.
