Department Profile Nuclear Engineering and Technology Programme This interdisciplinary programme was established in 1974 with a view to provide an academic input to the on-going nuclear engineering missions and power plant facilities in India. Overview It is a unique programme of its kind not only in this country but also of the whole South East Asian region. Besides offering M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees in the area of nuclear engineering and technology the programme provides research and development expertise in the experimental and theoretical studies of fusion and plasma physics, radio isotape applications in manufacturing engineering, computer aided tomography, reactor safety studies, heat transfer in nuclear subsystems, and development of radiation detectors. This programme has had the benefit of working with BHEL, Tata Consulting Engineers and several divisions of the Department of Atomic Energy. Academic Programmes Admission requirement for the M.Tech program is a Bachelor's degree in any branch of engineering including NET. The course work consists of a set of required subjects covering the basic concepts of nuclear science and engineering, experimental techniques and a set of electives that may be taken from within or outside of the programme. Students are expected to have an adequate background in Mathematics, Nuclear Physics, and Heat and Transfer. IITK-DAE MoU The department of Atomic energy (DAE) and IITK have signed an MoU for sponsored students in the NET programme. A maximum of six students per year are sponsored under this scheme. The students must have a bachelor's degree in mechanical, chemical, or electrical (electronics) engineering to be eligible for the fellowship. The stipend is 8,000/- per month with free tuition and a one-time book allowance of Rs.4000/-. The students after completion of the M.Tech programme have to serve the DAE for a minimum period of three years.
