M.S. in Nanotechnology

The Department of Nanotechnology has been recognized as one of the core competence centers for excellence in research as well as academia. Nanotechnology is an inherently interdisciplinary field and bridges physics, biology, materials science, and chemistry. It has been recently shown tremendous attention and deals with the latest developments in the various disciplines such as Material Science, Micro(Nano) electronics, Manufacturing of miniaturized electronic and optical devices, quantum computing, Computational Nanotechnology, Nanomechanical engineering & sensors, Nanolithography & Nanointerface engineering, Nanomagnetism etc. It is expected to greatly impact Nanomedicine, BioNanotechnology, Nanoeconomy, Industrial and Commercial Applications, Nano-Intellectual Property Rights.

The program imparts several courses in Material Science, Thermodynamics, Mathematical physics, Quantum Physics, Nanochemistry initially. Later on, it provides the basic aspects of Instrumentation techniques and the advanced courses such as Thin Film Technology and Nanophotonics. At the end of programe, the students are expected to do a well-qualified project. This program is intended to enable the students' interests and provide the basic research activities for deeper insights in both theoretical and experimental aspects.


The department provides comprehensive guidance to career aspects along with many helpful hints on choosing the right career and landing a well-paying job that is best suited to one's skills and interests. There is a huge demand in Europe, Far East Asian countries, USA, Canada, and in India. This enables students to pursue their higher studies in India as well as in well-established centers abroad.
