School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

The School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (SMME) is one of the founding schools in IIT Mandi. Initially a part of School of Engineering, SMME became an independent school in 2021. SMME remains committed for high standards of engineering education through outstanding teaching, innovative curricula, and excellent research environment. Currently, the school offers several diverse programs, such as Bachelor of Technology (BTech), Master of Technology (MTech), Master of Technology (by Research) or MTech (by Research) as well as a doctoral program (PhD). BTech program is offered in Mechanical Engineering. MTech program is offered in Mechanical Engineering with specializations in Energy Systems (MES), Materials and Energy Engineering (MEE), Fluid-Thermal Engineering (FTE) and Electric Transportation (ET). Similarly, students in the MTech (by Research) and PhD programs do their research work in several specializations geared towards enabling them to tackle outstanding engineering problems relevant to the modern world. The faculty members of the school are involved in research and teaching in the areas of advanced materials, bio-mechanics, computational mechanics, composite design and manufacturing, energy engineering, smart structure & system, solid mechanics and thermo-fluidics.
