UG Courses

Apart from covering all the fundamental courses, the B. Tech programme shall emphasis on all the aspects of Chemical Engineering. The teaching at the undergraduate level, aims at providing the students a board-based education in theory and practice of Chemical Engineering keeping in view the current and future requirements of the society. Larger emphasis shall be given on self study components in courses like assignments, term paper and mini-project etc.
