B.Tech at AMU: Overview
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) offers a four-year B.Tech programme through Zakir Husain College of Engineering & Technology. The 2026–27 admission guide lists 11 programmes, with selection through the AMU Admission Test. This page brings together eligibility, branch-wise seats, admission dates, fees, cutoff guidance and published placement outcomes so you can compare the key details in one place.
AMU B.Tech admission is through the university's admission test for the 2026-27 cycle. Do not assume JEE Main is the primary route simply because the programme is B.Tech; follow the AMU admission guide for the current cycle.

What is included in the fee?
The 2026–27 admission fee table states the amount payable at admission, but it does not provide an itemised list of every service or academic charge included. We therefore cannot reliably label this amount as annual tuition or as the full semester cost. The figures above should be read only as the admission-time amount published for each listed course and seat type.
Additional charges and total cost
The published admission fee table does not separately quantify hostel accommodation, mess, refundable deposits, books, transport or later-semester charges. These amounts are not included in the totals above unless the university explicitly lists them in the relevant fee schedule. For budgeting, keep accommodation and recurring charges separate rather than treating the admission-time amount as the complete four-year cost.
Fee basis: AMU Guide to Admissions 2026–27, course-wise fee payable at admission. Hostel, mess and other recurring heads are not itemised in that table.
B.Tech Curriculum & Learning
The 2026-27 admission guide specifies an 8-semester B.Tech programme. AMU's department pages publish branch-specific syllabi and curricula, so students should refer to the relevant department for the detailed subject structure rather than relying on a single common B.Tech curriculum.
AMU also publishes practical-training and academic information through its engineering departments For example, the Computer Engineering department provides separate syllabus and curriculum resources, while the Civil Engineering department states that B.Tech students undergo practical training in private, semi-government and government organisations.
AMU B.Tech Placements
| Academic Year | Graduated | Placed | Median Salary | Higher Studies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021–22 | 385 | 307 | ₹5.50 lakh | 78 |
| 2022–23 | 379 | 312 | ₹6.00 lakh | 67 |
| 2023–24 | 352 | 196 | ₹6.00 lakh | 156 |
Source: AMU institutional data submitted for NIRF India Rankings 2025, Engineering category; four-year undergraduate programme, graduating years 2021–22 to 2023–24.
The median salary rose from ₹5.50 lakh in 2021–22 to ₹6 lakh in 2022–23, then remained at ₹6 lakh in 2023–24. However, reported placed graduates fell from 312 to 196 in the latest year shown, while higher-studies numbers rose from 67 to 156. Salary and placement volume tell different parts of the story; these university-level figures do not guarantee an outcome for every branch or student.
AMU B.Tech Cutoff 2026
AMU publishes admission-test results, ranks and admission lists through the Controller of Examinations. A single fixed “cutoff” number is not safe to quote without specifying the branch, category, round/list and year.
For a meaningful estimate, compare the latest published selection/admission lists for the exact branch and category. Treat a previous year's last admitted rank as a reference, not a guaranteed 2026 cutoff.
How Does AMU List Its B.Tech Branches?
The 2026-27 AMU guide lists 11 B.Tech programmes at ZHCET. The university's engineering departments separately publish programme information, syllabi and curricula for their respective branches.
50 seats in the 2026-27 guide. AMU's department page separately publishes the programme syllabus and curriculum.
25 seats in the 2026-27 guide. The programme is listed separately from Computer Engineering.
ECE has 50 + 7 SFS seats; ECE (VLSI Design & Technology) has 30 seats in the guide.
The guide also lists Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical Technology (Refining & Petrochemicals), Food Technology and Automobile Engineering (Electric & Hybrid Vehicles).
AMU B.Tech FAQs
Is AMU B.Tech admission through JEE Main?
No. For the 2026-27 admission cycle, AMU's official Guide to Admissions specifies selection through the AMU Admission Test for B.Tech. The notified paper is objective type and carries 100 marks with 100 questions covering Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Students should therefore follow the AMU Controller of Examinations schedule and admission notices for B.Tech rather than assuming JEE Main is the selection route.
What is the eligibility for B.Tech at AMU?
The 2026-27 guide requires the Senior Secondary School Certificate examination of AMU or an equivalent examination with at least 50% marks in aggregate of English, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. It also lists an eligible Diploma in Engineering of AMU or an equivalent qualification with at least 50% aggregate as an alternative route. Candidates must also satisfy the applicable admission rules and course conditions published by AMU.
What is the AMU B.Tech entrance exam pattern and where is it conducted?
The official 2026-27 guide specifies one objective-type paper of 100 marks comprising 100 questions on Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. The listed test centres are Aligarh, Lucknow, Srinagar, Kolkata, Patna and Kozhikode. For the 2026 cycle, the guide scheduled the test for 19 April 2026 at 10:00 A.M. with a duration of two hours.
What are the AMU B.Tech fees for 2026-27?
The official fee appendix gives the fee payable at the time of admission, and the amount differs by branch and, for some programmes, by Self-Finance Scheme (SFS) seat. For example, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical and regular ECE/Mechanical admissions are listed at ₹25,500, while Computer Engineering (Artificial Intelligence), Automobile Engineering (Electric & Hybrid Vehicles) and ECE (VLSI Design & Technology) are listed at ₹70,500. These are admission-time amounts; students should not treat them as the complete four-year academic cost.
How many B.Tech branches and seats does AMU offer?
The 2026-27 guide lists 11 B.Tech programmes at ZHCET: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Technology (Refining & Petrochemicals), Chemical Engineering (Food Technology), Computer Engineering (Artificial Intelligence), Automobile Engineering (Electric & Hybrid Vehicles), and ECE (VLSI Design & Technology). Intake varies by programme, with some branches also carrying seats under the Self-Finance Scheme.
Does AMU B.Tech have placements and internships?
Yes. ZHCET has a dedicated Training & Placement Office that publishes placement announcements, visited-recruiter information and internship/training data. Current 2026 notices show recruitment drives for specific groups such as Computer/AI, Electrical/Mechanical, Computer Engineering and other eligible engineering branches, while some drives are open to all B.Tech/B.E. branches. AMU also maintains branch-wise higher-studies data, so students can review placement, internship and higher-study information through official ZHCET resources.
What does the AMU B.Tech cutoff depend on?
AMU cutoff or selection outcomes depend on the branch, applicable category, selection list and admission round. A single university-wide cutoff cannot accurately represent every programme. Compare the relevant branch and category against the published selection outcome for the same cycle. Previous-year ranks are a reference only and do not guarantee admission in a later year.
Are hostel and mess charges included in AMU B.Tech admission fees?
The course-wise amount in the 2026–27 admission guide is an admission-time fee, not a confirmed four-year residential budget. The published course fee table does not separately itemise hostel, mess, deposits or all recurring charges. These costs should not be assumed to be included in the amounts shown above. The page therefore keeps them separate rather than quoting an unverified hostel total.
Are scholarships available for AMU B.Tech students?
Scholarship eligibility and award amounts depend on the scheme and the student's circumstances. The 2026–27 B.Tech course-fee table does not establish a single scholarship amount applicable to every student. Do not subtract an assumed scholarship from the fees shown on this page. Any award should be counted only after its eligibility conditions and approval are confirmed.
Which documents should I prepare for AMU B.Tech admission?
Keep your qualifying examination marksheets and certificates, identity details, photographs and any category or eligibility documents relevant to your application ready. The exact list can vary with the qualification route and the admission stage. The admission process can also require original documents during counselling or reporting. Use the requirements stated in the applicable admission notice and selection communication; do not assume an incomplete document set will be accepted.
