5-Years Integrated Dual Degree Programme
(Materials Science and Technology)
(Applicable to Academic Session 2014-15 and onwards)
School of Materials Science & Technology Indian Institute of Technology
(Banaras Hindu University)
Varanasi – 221005
Banaras Hindu University, established in the year 1919, has introduced Materials Science and Technology education in 1978 to fulfil the need of future materials technologists. It is internationally renowned centre of research in Materials Science and Technology and serves as Institute’s nodal centre for fostering interdisciplinary teaching and research in the field of materials science and technology. School of Materials Science and Technology runs PhD and M.Tech. Programmes from its inception and from the session 2005-06, the school has initiated a new 5 year Dual degree M.Tech. Programme with an annual intake of 19 students. The current research activities span over wide - ranging fields of Functional and Multifunctional Materials, X-ray and Neutron Crystallography, Electronic ceramics, Magnetic Materials, Nanostructured Materials, Conducting Polymers, Sensors & Biosensors, Organic Electronics, Nanocomposites, Biomaterials, Self-assembly, Polymer Applications, Physical & Chemical Characterization, Mechanical Behaviour of the Materials, Large area self-assembly, Dilute magnetic semiconductors, Thin film and semiconductor devices, , Low voltage-low power electronics etc.
School of Materials Science and Technology (SMST) along with its strong research base has a vibrant dual degree program to foster the need of industries. In 2014, following the UG-CRC of the Institute recommendations, School has heavily modified its course structure to fulfil the following objective in mind:
-
With the advent of new classes of materials and instruments with a very rapid pace, the traditional practice of empiricism in the search for and selection of materials is rapidly becoming obsolete. Therefore, the program offers a serious interdisciplinary learning experience in materials studies, crossing over the traditional boundaries of such classical disciplines as chemistry, physics, electrical, mechanical, microelectronic, ceramic and metallurgical engineering.
-
The program provides extensive experimental courses in diverse areas of materials-related studies.
-
The program explores avenues for introducing greater synchronization between industrial expansion and academic training.
Our graduates excel themselves at the top Universities/research organizations/manufacturing plants and business houses.
2. Programme Objectives: The objectives of 5-Year Integrated Dual Degree [B.Tech. & M.Tech.] Programme in materials science and technology, are that the students will learn the concepts and develop skills related to materials science and have a broad based fundamental knowledge of both science and technological accepts of materials research and development with analytical and innovative skills. The students will also acquire a wide base of humanities and build their character. The objectives are not only to develop motivation among students for study, knowledge and skills development but also to inculcate theme based research in the areas of Multifunctional Electrical and Electronic ceramics, Nanomaterials, Polymers with innovation aptitude, enhancing creativity with sensitivity towards nature and society. School of Materials Science and Technology takes a challenge to meet the above requirements in its curriculum of 5-Year Integrated Dual Degree [B.Tech. & M.Tech.] programme.
3. Overview of Curriculum (Including overall Programme, Disciplines, Streams, Research Areas):
The new academic curriculum is effective since academic session 2014-15. The programme components include courses related to Science, Engineering, Humanities and Social Science Courses from other branches, Engineering Practice Courses, Language and Management, Departmental Core courses, Exploratory projects, Departmental Electives, Open Electives from other branches, Projects, Dissertation/Master’s Thesis, Industrial training/internship, Gymkhana Courses, Creative Practice etc. Other than these essential components of the curriculum, faculty members of the school are always open for students indulging in the research projects during their off-hours. Depending on their interests, it is always encouraged that students take up one or two additional research projects during their programme.
