B. Tech: Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

The department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (formerly Department of Metallurgical Engg.) admitted the first batch of B.E. students in 1967. And Since its inception this department has been one of the premier centers of excellence in the field of Metallurgy. It has expanded since then in many ways and now offers two post-graduate programmes with specialization in Welding Engineering and Materials Science. Both the above courses have been attracting candidates with varied engineering backgrounds and also sponsored candidates from engineering industries and academia. Since 2006, the department is admitting candidates for M.S. and Ph.D. programmes with Institute Fellowships. The department faculty are handling projects sponsored by agencies like MHRD, DRDO, AICTE, DST, NRB and Tata Steel.The department is accredited for 3 years (February 2005 - January 2008) by the National Board of Accreditation.

The first year of the B.Tech(Metallurgical and Materials Engineering) academic program has common classes for all the departments. The students from all departments are conglomerated together in various sections. Students from all the departments offering B.Tech course are present in any given section.

The academic year is divided into two semesters. Both the semesters have two cycle tests followed by the semester examination.
