How do they calculate beta in mutual fund?

GO TO SITES LIKE MONEYCONTROL.COM AND ICICIDIRECT.COM

I believe it is the weighted average of the betas of the underlying equities.

I dont know if the above answer is correct or not.I think not, as the beta should be representative of the funds
performance, not just the underlying stocks as mututal
funds trade in and out of stocks, as well as do hedging with derivitives, options, etc.

I have no problem being proved wrong though... :)

The measure of Beta is very simple.

Measure it against the performance of the SPY.

Put that into a number relative to 1, and you have the answer.

Simply put, it is calculated the same way as the Beta of the stock.

Confirmed YES. There are no 2 ways about it.
