B.E. Mechanical Engineering Entrance Coaching
Focused preparation for the JMI B.E. Mechanical Engineering (Evening) entrance test, which is set at the level of a three-year diploma in mechanical engineering.
About B.E. Mechanical Engineering
JMI offers B.E. Mechanical Engineering (Evening), a self-financed programme of the Faculty of Engineering & Technology. Under the 2026–27 structure it has programme code B17, runs for six semesters with 60 seats, and classes are held from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
The programme is meant for eligible diploma holders who want to upgrade their qualification. Its entrance test is not a Class XII PCM paper: it tests core diploma mechanical engineering subjects, so a generic PCM coaching course is not enough.
Students targeting 2027–28 should prepare on the latest available syllabus and check for changes when JMI publishes the new prospectus.
JMI B.E. Mechanical Engineering entrance paper
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Engineering Mechanics | Statics, dynamics, machines, friction and fluid mechanics |
| Design | Strength of materials and machine elements |
| Production Engineering | Manufacturing processes, metal cutting and industrial management |
| Thermal Engineering | Thermodynamics, steam, boilers, turbines, IC engines and refrigeration |
JMI's syllabus states one paper with questions from these four areas, at the standard of a three-year Diploma (Mechanical) examination of polytechnics. Question counts and weightage are not given; check the 2027–28 prospectus.
Who can apply
Under the JMI 2026–27 requirements, candidates need a three- or four-year diploma in the relevant or allied branch from a recognised polytechnic or technical institute, and at least one year of professional experience after the diploma in the concerned or related branch, subject to JMI's full conditions. Verify the eligibility in the prospectus for your admission year.

AMU and CUET (UG)
AMU Mechanical Engineering
AMU's Department of Mechanical Engineering offers B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, which is a separate programme with its own admission structure. It is not the same examination as JMI B17; follow the AMU Guide to Admissions for the relevant session.
CUET (UG)
CUET (UG) is used only for programmes that participating universities map to it, and it is not the route for every B.E. or B.Tech. Mechanical programme. Check whether your target university admits through CUET, JEE Main or its own test, and its subject and eligibility rules.
How we prepare you
Preparation plan
- Build concepts in each of the four syllabus areas at diploma level
- Keep a formula notebook for mechanics, strength of materials, fluids, thermodynamics and IC engines
- Solve numericals regularly: equilibrium, pipe flow, bending, torsion, springs and power cycles
- Practise topic-wise and subject-wise MCQs
- Attempt previous-year-pattern questions and sectional tests
- Take full-length mock tests and analyse conceptual, formula and calculation errors

Career and higher-study options
B.E. Mechanical Engineering entrance: common questions
What is the JMI B.E. Mechanical Engineering programme code?
Under the 2026–27 structure the programme code for B.E. Mechanical Engineering (Evening), self-financed, is B17. It is a six-semester programme.
What is the JMI B.E. Mechanical entrance syllabus?
One paper with questions from Engineering Mechanics, Design, Production Engineering and Thermal Engineering, set at the level of a three-year Diploma (Mechanical) examination of polytechnics.
Can a Class XII PCM student apply for JMI B.E. Mechanical (Evening)?
B17 eligibility is built around a three- or four-year diploma in a relevant or allied branch plus one year of professional experience. Check the latest JMI prospectus before applying.
Are fluid mechanics and industrial management included?
Yes. Fluid mechanics is part of the Engineering Mechanics section, and industrial management is part of the Production Engineering section of the official syllabus.
Is JMI B.E. Mechanical admission through CUET?
No. For 2026–27, B.E. Mechanical Engineering (Evening) B17 had its own JMI entrance test. Follow the JMI notification for the relevant session.
Is JMI B.E. Mechanical the same exam as AMU B.Tech Mechanical?
No. AMU offers B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, a separate programme with a different admission structure.
