Dr. Seema Shah, Program Director, 6 year B.Tech Program, added, “The 6-year B. Tech. program benefits aspirants by eliminating the need to appear for Grade 12 boards, as well as multiple engineering college entrance examinations, and prevents the duplication of subjects between school and college. At MPSTME, we focus very strongly on application of concepts, practical training, and live projects, which prepares our graduates for success in the real world. Our world-class Mumbai campus is Grade A+ accredited by NAAC with 3.59 CGPA, and we ensure that our state-of-the-art facilities and labs help our students in mastering their field and achieving success in their professional lives.”
