The Department of Mechanical Engineering has been functioning since the inception of the Institute i.e, 1995 and is offering B.Tech course in Mechanical Engineering with an intake of 180 & M.Tech in Machine Design with an intake of 18. The department has been recognized as a research centre by JNTUA-Ananthapuramu to carryout Ph.D on regular basis. The department is organized in four sections. Each section represents the technical back ground and core competent areas of the department.

The section of internal combustion engines focus on performance enhancement of an I.C engine using Bio-fuels. Design modifications of an I.C engines for clean combustion and also optimization of control parameters to achieve optimum output.
