Mahamaya Technical University (MTU), originally established in Noida, was merged back into Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow, in 2013. Consequently, all colleges in the Noida, Ghaziabad, and western UP regions that were previously affiliated with MTU now follow the centralized examination system of AKTU. For the 2026 academic session, students must refer to the AKTU Lucknow portal for their degree requirements. This transition ensures a uniform evaluation standard and degree recognition under one of India's largest technical universities. The 2026 schedule covers all undergraduate and postgraduate professional programs, including the newly updated NEP-aligned curriculum for recent batches.
