B.Tech Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Hyderabad Offline Course

Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering is a four-year (8 Semesters) full-time undergraduate program offered by Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.

Materials science and metallurgical engineering (MSME) is an interdisciplinary science enriched engineering branch which deals with material discovery and design for applications, through the material paradigm (synthesis, characterization, structure, property, performance). Materials science and metallurgical engineering is a very fast evolving and expanding branch and thus the curriculum has to be constantly evolving. Currently, MSME offers teaching and research spanning across various disciplines of structural, functional and computational materials science.

A B.Tech graduate from MSME department at IITH is trained be an expert at the core concepts as well as conscious of evolving multidisciplinary domains. The B.Tech curriculum at IITH is unique as it comprises of fractal courses (1 and 2 credit courses instead of 3 credit regular courses), which facilitates expansion of the core subject acumen as well as exposure to multidisciplinary courses. The curriculum allows good opportunity to gain specialization within the department as well as across department owing to a large number of free electives. The department electives are often trending subjects which expose the students to recent developments and popular subjects in materials science and metallurgical engineers. The department prepares its students for research roles as well as other professional roles by providing a conducive environment for all round development.
