Applicants should hold a four‑year B.E./B.Tech or B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering (ABET-accredited) or a closely related engineering discipline. Those from other fields may be admitted conditionally depending on background evaluation. While the university doesn’t state a strict GPA cutoff, successful candidates typically have a GPA ≥ 3.0/4.0, especially in junior/senior coursework. For competitive assistantship consideration, > 3.3/4.0 is preferable.
