ADMISSION TO P.G. COURSE IN 
M. E. Welding Technology program (2015-2017) 
Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, 
The M.S. University of Baroda, Vadodara

A two-year Masters degree program in Welding Technology is being offered from the year 2006 at the Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, M.S. University of Baroda. This is a special, industry-oriented, industry-supported program sponsored by Larsen & Toubro.
About 15 students are admitted to this course every year. GATE qualification is not mandatory for applying to this program. Around 8 out of them will be sponsored by L&T – paid a scholarship/stipend during the two years of the course and absorbed in L&T on successful completion of the course.

Eligibility Criteria for L&T Sponsorship: Candidates should have scored 65% marks throughout – without ATKTs and without any academic gap. Candidate’s age should not be more than 25 years as on 01st July, 2015.

Regular visits to L&T Works and lectures by L&T experts are an integral part of the program. Project Work will be arranged at the sponsoring industries.
There will be a few students not sponsored by any organization and hence not getting a stipend.
Admission to the above course will be made by M.S. University of Baroda in accordance with usual procedure. (refer, website: www.msubaroda.ac.in) All students, who have successfully completed the B.E. / B.Tech. program in Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering or Mechatronics with minimum 55% aggregate, are eligible to apply. Sponsoring industries will also apply their own criteria for selecting students for sponsorship.
Prescribed application forms for this program will be available at Faculty of Technology and Engineering, The M. S. University of Baroda, Vadoadara OR can be downloaded from the M.S. University website: www.msubaroda.ac.in from 1st May 2015.   Completed applications along with the prescribed application fees and all necessary certificates and documents asked for should be sent to the Head, Metallurgical & Materials Engineering Dept., Faculty of Tech. & Engg., The M.S. University of Baroda, Vadodara- 390 001 on or before 12th June 2015. Short-listed candidates will be called for a selection test / interview to be held at the Dept. of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering on Friday & Saturday, 26th & 27th June 2015. No TA/ DA will be paid to the candidates for appearing for the selection test / interview. The selected candidates will have to pay the necessary fees (approx. Rs. 5000=00) within next few days. The classes will start from Monday, 13th July 2015.
