Masters of Technology (M.Tech.) is a two year graduate programme after B.Tech. comprising of one year of rigorous course work followed by an year of research training under the close guidance of a ChE faculty supervisor. The department started the program in July 2019 and the first batch of M.Tech students will graduate in June 2021.
