• Over 70 nuclear power plants to be built over the next 15 years and over 40 reactors are under construction in 20 countries currently
• India looks to increase its electricity supply from nuclear power to 25% by 2050 from 2.5% today
• 6 Nuclear power plants under construction in India and over 12 plants planned until 2020
• More than 100,000 personnel needed for construction and operation of nuclear reactors and associated facilities in India

It is being observed that globally, the civilian nuclear power industry is undergoing a major renaissance. This exponential growth presents tremendous employment opportunities for talented young engineers. The M.Tech programme in Nuclear Engineering aims at developing “nuclear ready” engineers who can effectively undertake career assignments in the global civilian nuclear power industry.

The course curriculum, derived from the needs of the Nuclear Industry and application-oriented pedagogy enables students to be job-ready. The M.Tech programme shall present career opportunities to students across the nuclear industry value chain, viz

Power Generations companies like NPCIL (and maybe private sector too at a later stage)
Equipment Manufacturing companies like L & T, Walchandnagar Industries, BHEL, Honeywell, etc
R & D Centers like BARC, IGCAR, etc
EPC companies such as HCC, ECC, Punj Lloyd, etc
Consulting companies such as TCE, Lloyds Register, BVQI, etc
Mining companies such as UCIL

Final Placement support
The first batch of 20 M.Tech students will be assured placement opportunities with leading organizations in the Nuclear Industry
