Undergraduate Programme ( B.Tech in Chemical Technology(Bioprocess Technology) )
Post Graduate Program (M.Tech in Chemical Engineering)
Our Department offers a two-year postgraduate degree programme (M.Tech) in Chemical Engineering. Students will acquire practical experience and a supervised research or industrial project that provides them with advanced project management skills that are very much required to tackle complex industrial and advanced research problems. After successful completion of the program, the students will (i) acquire an advanced knowledge in chemical engineering, (ii) develop technical skills, (iii) create a positive approach to problem-solving and (iv) be able to work as part of a team; which are the desired requirements for students to create a professional career in an industry, academia or other professional organizations.
- To prepare students for successful practice in diverse fields of chemical engineering such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, polymers / advanced materials, energy, biotechnology, and environmental engineering and in the fields of societal expectations on time.
- To prepare students for advanced studies in Chemical Engineering and its allied fields.
- To ensure our students are recognized for excellence and leadership and selected for high-ranking industrial, academic, government and other professional positions.
- To develop students’ skills and awareness to become socially, ethically and morally responsible individual in all the challenges they take over in our communities and in the field of chemical engineering.
- An ability to identify, formulates, and solve engineering problems.
- An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
- An ability to communicate effectively.
