It has been offering courses in Engineering, Technology, Management, Pharmacy and other professional programmes.

MTU is operating from a five storied building having 1.25 lakh square feet operational area, the university had an advantage of being in the propinquity to the national capital, Delhi.

Initially, BSP government had planned to divide the both universities in 2011.
