B.Tech. program in Chemical Engineering

`The B.Tech. program in Chemical Engineering comprises roughly a four semester "core" program of courses in basic sciences, engineering sciences, humanities and computer graphics, followed by a two year professional program, consisting of departmental professional courses and several electives. In addition to these, our students carry out a research project. In their project, students often work on research problems with individual faculty members, or are involved in sponsored projects from industry or government funding agencies. Generally, students take one more course-equivalent of project work (in lieu of an elective course) to complete their research. On an average, about forty to forty five students graduate every year.

A dual degree program has been introduced recently. This is a hybrid program which enables the students to earn both a B.Tech and a M.Tech degree in five years. The first four years of the program are almost identical to the B.Tech course work whereas the remaining two semesters and two summer terms are devoted entirely to the thesis work. Typically 8-10 students are admitted in this program.
