Hello aspirant, 

Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys.  The production of ferrous metals accounts for 95 percent of world metal production.

So there is huge scope for metallurgical engineering in India and NITS have great placements 

 Few best NITs  for Metallurgical and Nuclear Engineering:

National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli.

National Institute of Technology Warangal.

National Institute of Technology Rourkela.

Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur.

National Institute of Technology Durgapur.

Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur.

National Institute of Technology Srinagar.

Hi Nitin! 

Greetings!

Metallurgical Engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with all sorts of metal-related areas.

It is branch of engineering that deals with a study of science of metals and their properties, including separating metals from their ores, the making and compounding of alloys, and the technology and science of working and heat-treating metals to alter their physical characteristics.

Metallurgical Engineers can become a part of the industry that produces, buys, sells refines or manufactures metals or metallic products. In India metallurgical graduates can expect some exciting career opportunities in government undertakings as well as in private companies.

One can also be a research fellow or a scientist or professor in various labs and universities located in India and abroad.Apart from the traditional metallurgical jobs, Metallurgical Engineering also has scope in defense, aviation , and nano science.

Even quasicrystals were discovered here! Last year’s noble prize for chemistry went to researcher in this area. You can also go for research abroad if you have decent research credentials.
