The M.Tech program of IME (Industrial and Management Engineering) Department of IIT Kanpur has worldwide acclaim. The accolade for this acclaim can be attributed to the rigour through which the IME faculty subjects its students. Being an integral part of an institution of the stature of IIT Kanpur naturally helps the budding spark to imbibe all the values and ethos that have made it an epitome of excellence.
 
 

Our tryst with Engineering and Management started way back in 1974, when the Industrial and Management Engineering (IME) programme was initiated to teach methods to plan, design, implement and manage production and services. Our M. Tech. students take quantitative, financial and IT courses which find applications in Production Management (SCM/Logistics), Financial Engineering (Investment Research/Risk Management/Financial services) and Marketing Engineering.

With carefully designed syllabus, we keep up to the true IIT Kanpur tradition of sensitising ourselves with the latest in the industry. The M.Tech course in IME has evolved as a program for developing Managers from Engineers with cross-functional skills with special emphasis in quantitative techniques and operations. The class being a heterogeneous mix of engineers from diverse fields naturally enriches the learning environment, turning into a fountainhead of vibrant ideas.

Moreover students are given a chance to have the experience of the industry through summer internships. They have worked in Financial Risk Analytics/Portfolio Management, Business Analytics and Intelligence, Supply Chain Management as well as on ERP systems as summer interns
