The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest departments started in 1960. the department is offering a Full-time M. Tech program in Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing with an intake of 23 students. This program is started in the year 2006. The program is accredited by the NBA till 2025. Faculty members share their expertise with the students in the fields of Machine Design, computer-aided design and manufacturing, Robotics, Vibration, Product design, Industrial product development, advanced manufacturing, Finite element Methods, advanced mechanisms, etc. The laboratories for the program are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities like CNC Machine Centre, Robotics Lab, Computer-aided Manufacturing Lab, Simulation Lab, Machine Design Lab, etc. Students must complete all theory and practical courses in the first two semesters. For the third and fourth semesters, they must complete their dissertation work in various industries / National Labs / academic institutes giving them sufficient time for a comprehensive understanding of their project. Students are encouraged to undertake multi-disciplinary projects also. The dissertation work usually involves problem identification, literature survey, detailed analysis of the problem using modern techniques/software, finding solutions, analyzing results, and report submission. The students need to acquire a minimum 52 credits to get the degree. The placement of the students is above 80% in 2023-24, and 100% in 2022-23. Many Industries and Private Engineering College teachers have immensely benefited from this PG course.

This Post Graduate course, M. Tech in Heat Power Engineering (Full Time), was started in Mechanical Engineering department in 2002 when the Institute received NIT status. Prior to this (2002), the M. Tech in HPE was offered as a part-time program. The program is accredited by the NBA till 2028. It is aimed at equipping the students with advanced and updated knowledge in the areas of thermal engineering like Computational fluid dynamics, Multi phase flow, Gas dynamics, Heat transfer, Combustion, Renewable energy sources, Fuel cells, I C engines, Air pollution and control, Refrigeration and air conditioning, Turbo machinery, Power plant Engineering, etc. The program is structured in Four semesters where first two semesters are dedicated to theory courses along with their practicals as applicable and for last two semesters ie one full year, students can complete their dissertation work in various industries / National Labs / academic institutes giving them sufficient time for comprehensive understanding of their project. Students are encouraged to undertake multi-disciplinary projects also. The dissertation work usually involves problem identification, literature survey, detailed analysis of problem using modern techniques/software, finding solutions, analysing results and report submission. The students need to acquire minimum 52 credits to get the degree. Placement of the students is above 90% since last 3 years. Many Industries and Private Engineering College teachers have immensely benefited from this PG course.

MTech. (Production and Industrial Engineering) was launched in 2023 after revamping the curriculum of M. Tech. (Industrial Engineering) existing earlier since 1989. The new PG program is designed to keep pace with newer technologies and megatrends. The program outcomes aim to equip students with the ability to independently research, write technical reports, and demonstrate mastery over specialized areas such as industrial and production engineering beyond the bachelor’s level. The courses are designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of industrial and production engineering, including material management, ergonomics, production planning, smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, marketing research and data analytics, production system modeling and simulation, quantitative techniques, supply chain management, reliability engineering, personnel management, smart manufacturing technologies, quality assurance, advanced manufacturing processes, data analytics, optimization techniques, industrial automation, and machine condition monitoring. The program is structured into courses offered in odd and even semesters, with a total of 52 credits required for completion. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory courses and practical exercises, as well as theoretical knowledge through lectures and seminars. Students are required to complete two phases of a project, with the first phase focusing on identifying a research problem, reviewing literature, and presenting a research report, while the second phase involves carrying out a scientific investigation. For the project phase, students are provided with an opportunity to carry out their project-cum-internship at prestigious industries, like, Cummins (Pune), Siemens (Aurangabad), DRAL (Nagpur), IDOS (Mumbai), John Deere (Pune), Phillips (Pune), Bosch (Jaipur), Eaton, Bajaj Auto, AVL technologies, etc. There are a few students from M. Tech. (PIE) who benefitted from an international MoU between VNIT Nagpur and Dassault Aviation France. The course is backed up by state-of-the art laboratories and facilities, such as advanced manufacturing lab, ergonomics lab, simulation lab, Vertical Machining Center, CNC machines, non-traditional machining setups, robotics lab, product development and testing lab, etc. We have prominent software such as Tecnomatix, AnyLogic, Arena, LabView, Anysis, etc. The students of M. Tech. (PIE/IE) have been recruited by many national/ multinational companies, a few of the prominent recruiters are- PWC, ICICI Banks, DRAL, Grindwell Norton, Matter Motors, Tata AutoComp, Torani (Dubai), Jindal Power, Mahindra & Mahindra, L&T, Bajaj Auto, Federal Bank, Acuitas360, etc.
