B. Tech. in Metallurgical Engineering programme is of 4 years duration (8 semesters). The course work in the first two semesters is common to all branches of engineering. The core courses are introduced from the 3rd semester onwards. Besides, elective courses are offered from 5th semester onwards. The electives permit one to choose his/her area of interest within the broad areas. The students also carry out project work during the last two semesters based on the knowledge acquired.
The main areas of study in Metallurgical Engineering include Physical Metallurgy, Extractive Metallurgy (Iron, Steel and Non-ferrous Metal extraction), Mineral Processing, Heat Treatment of Steels, Manufacturing Technologies (Metal Casting, Metal Forming, Powder Metallurgy and Welding), Mechanical Metallurgy (includes Material Testing – Destructive and Non-Destructive), Corrosion Engineering, and Materials Characterization Techniques etc. In view of the increasing demand in materials development, the department has introduced new subjects in its curriculum with materials background in the year 2004. Accordingly the scheme of instruction has been enriched with subjects on advanced materials like Composite Materials, Ceramics, Polymers, Nanomaterials, Computer Applications in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering etc. in addition to the above main areas. The laboratories of the Department are well furnished with the state-of-the-art equipmentAdmission Requirements: Based on the rank in JEE
