undergraduate curriculum. The Department also undertakes consultancy assignments
from industry, in the areas of Process Development, Design, Pollution
control, Particle Technology, Biomass Utilization, etc.
The Department is well equipped for carrying out basic and applied
research leading to the degrees of M.Tech/M.S. (Research) and Ph.D. In
addition to the infrastructural facilities, pilot plant sized equipment as
well as advanced instruments are available. These serve the multiple
purposes of training the undergraduate students as well as carrying out
research work for final application to solve industrial problems.
