O.P. Jindal University

Overview

The M.Tech in Metallurgy and Material Technology is a postgraduate program designed to provide advanced education and research opportunities in the field of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science. The program aims to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials, with a special emphasis on metals and advanced materials.

This program provides a solid foundation for a career in advanced materials development, quality control, failure analysis, R&D, and technical consultancy, while also serving as a stepping stone for doctoral studies in materials science and related disciplines.

Eligibility

BE / BTech or equivalent degree in Metallurgy, Mechanical, Chemical, Production, Industrial OR MSc in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, or Nano Science and Technology with a minimum aggregate of 50%.
A relaxation of 5% marks in graduation will be provided for ST/SC/OBC/PWD candidates.
Admission will be based on performance in GATE and/or OP Jindal University entrance test and personal interview.
Provisional admission will be offered to students awaiting final results, based on past academic performance.
Candidates may also be required to submit letters of recommendation from their previous teachers.
General: These are full-time programs requiring complete dedication to coursework and research. Students are advised to stay in campus hostels, which also enables them to take up assistantship opportunities. M.Tech students will be allotted single room accommodation, subject to availability.
