M.Tech. Chemical Engineering is a course primarily concentrating on areas such as thermodynamics, transfer operations and process control. It is structured to cover important areas of the scope of this subject, such as the maintenance and design of chemical plants.
The M.Tech in Chemical Engineering course is considered to be the engineering equivalent of an M.Phil in the Humanities sphere. It primarily focuses upon the applications of concepts learnt at the undergraduate level, and extending these applications through research study.
Candidates opting for M.Tech. Chemical Engineering course should have a strong background in the basic concepts being covered. This includes fluid dynamics, process control, semi-conductor processing and other such topics. The course is heavily research oriented, and only those interested in entering this field are advised to opt for this course.
M.Tech. Chemical Engineering course is a two year programme, usually following the semester system, i.e. a total of four semesters. This includes certain time periods set aside for Project Work and Research Work.
Most institutes state minimum eligibility to be an undergraduate B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering. - The Indian Institutes of Technology have the added eligibility criteria of a valid GATE score, which is only relaxed for those who have obtained their B.Tech from an IIT with a CGPA of more than 8.0/10 as well.
Note- Some institutes allow the equivalent forms of B.Tech in Chemical Engineering, such as a B.E. in the same field.
The admission process differs depending on the institute, but the general structure remains the same.
