About M.Sc in Engineering Management
M.Sc in Engineering Management is a professional master's degree that connects engineering or technology with business management. Its multidisciplinary academic structure addresses management questions associated with engineering operations and systems.
The curriculum does not treat management as a separate business-only area. Subjects such as Engineering Economic Analysis, Operational Research, System Modeling and Risk Management, Quality Management, Project Management, and Legal and Ethical Issues Management place management study within an engineering context.
Research Methodology appears in the first semester, while the program concludes with a substantial Dissertation/Thesis component in the fourth semester.
Eligibility
Eligibility: Applicants are eligible with any of the following engineering qualifications and at least 45% marks in aggregate:
-
BE Computer
-
BE Electronics & Communication
-
BE Civil
The course-specific eligibility criteria identify these three engineering backgrounds for entry into the program.
Admission and Entrance Examination
Entrance Examination: Candidates seeking admission to the Master of Science in Engineering Management at HIST are required to pass the entrance examination conducted by Purbanchal University.
Admission therefore combines the specified bachelor's-level engineering qualification with the university entrance requirement.
Duration and Semester Structure
Duration: 2 years.
The academic curriculum is divided into four semesters. The first three semesters contain taught courses covering quantitative, research, economics, organizational, operational, strategic, financial, human resource, marketing, quality, and project management areas.
The fourth semester consists of Dissertation/Thesis carrying 16 credits.

First Semester
The first semester establishes the program's quantitative, research, organizational, entrepreneurial, and economic components.
Quantitive Method provides the quantitative part of the semester, while Research Methodology introduces formal research study. Organization Behavior addresses organizational aspects of management.
Entrepreneurship, Engineering Echonomics, and Engineering Economic Analysis place economic and business considerations alongside the engineering-management framework.
Second Semester
The second semester moves into operational and organizational management.
Legal and Ethical Issues Management introduces legal and ethical considerations. Operational Research, System Modeling and Risk Management combines several analytical and decision-oriented areas within one subject.
Strategic Management and Quality Management add organizational and quality-focused study, while Final Management and Human Resource Management complete the semester's management coursework.
Third Semester
Technology Marketing and Managerial Accounting form part of the third-semester curriculum. Financing and Management carries two credits, while Project Management carries three credits.
The semester also contains Elective I and Elective II, each carrying three credits. This is the only semester in the available curriculum with two elective components.
Fourth Semester
The fourth semester is devoted to Dissertation/Thesis.
Dissertation/Thesis: 16 credits.
This final-semester component gives research a substantial place in the program after Research Methodology is introduced during the first semester.
Main Areas of Study
The program brings together several areas that are relevant to the management of engineering activities and organizations.
Its curriculum covers quantitative methods, research methodology, organizational behavior, entrepreneurship, engineering economics, economic analysis, operational research, system modeling, risk management, strategic management, quality management, human resource management, technology marketing, managerial accounting, financing and management, project management, elective study, and dissertation research.
This structure keeps the program connected to both engineering-oriented analysis and organizational management rather than concentrating exclusively on either technical engineering subjects or conventional business study.
Engineering Economics and Management
Economic study appears from the first semester through Engineering Echonomics and Engineering Economic Analysis.
Later semesters broaden the management side through Strategic Management, Quality Management, Human Resource Management, Managerial Accounting, Financing and Management, and Project Management.
The sequence gives economic, financial, organizational, and project-related topics defined positions within the two-year curriculum.
Operations, Systems and Risk
Operational Research, System Modeling and Risk Management is included in the second semester as a three-credit subject.
Its placement alongside Strategic Management and Quality Management brings operational analysis, systems thinking, risk, organizational strategy, and quality-related study together during the same stage of the program.
Research and Dissertation
Research is introduced through the three-credit Research Methodology course in the first semester.
The curriculum then culminates in the fourth-semester Dissertation/Thesis carrying 16 credits. This creates a progression from research methodology at the beginning of the program to a major research component at its conclusion.
Elective Study
The third semester includes two elective subjects:
Elective I carries three credits, and Elective II carries three credits. The individual elective titles are not specified within the curriculum structure available for the program.
