Several real-world challenges in industry and their solutions lie at the axis of engineering and management. Today’s interdisciplinary world recognises the need for candidates who have expertise in engineering along with the ability to lead strategic decision-making. Future leaders must equip themselves to be able to solve engineering problems by understanding their managerial, technological, and social contexts.
The BxMx Programme is aimed at creating flexible opportunities for students at the graduate level of education. The BTech + MBA allows students to combine the strengths of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Amrut Mody School of Management, and earn the two degrees in five years instead of six. It provides students technical rigour through the breadth and depth of the engineering programme and managerial expertise through the industry-driven curriculum of the MBA programme. Upon completing this programme, students will be awarded a Bachelor of Technology in Chemical and Environmental Engineering/Computer Science and Engineering/Electrical and Electronics Engineering/Mechanical Engineering (as per their chosen Major) and a Master of Business Administration.
The engineering programme at Ahmedabad University enables students to develop a sound knowledge in the core and technical aspects of engineering and science. The BTech-MBA programme provides students an opportunity to simultaneously acquire leadership skills and integrated knowledge in engineering and management that would enable them to join companies working to provide these solutions.

Free Electives provide flexibility to students to customise their education at the University.
All students will complete 30 hours of engagement with society to develop a sense of engagement, concern, build problem solving skills, and understand the role of an engaged member of a society. This will be done through a mandatory course, Engagement with Society, that would be a graduation requirement. This course can be taken anytime during the stay at the University but it is advised that the student engage with the courses during the first two years at the University. The 30 hours of volunteer work may be completed during one semester or during the Winter or Summer Break.
