ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
The department offers an undergraduate programme leading
to B.Tech degree in Textile Technology. During the first
to semesters, the students take courses in basic sciences,
engineering arts and humanities and social sciences which
are common to students of all disciplines. During the next
two semesters, the students take a set of departmental core
subjects in Textile Technology. From the fifth semester
onwards they opt for departmental elective courses.
In the new curriculum, there is increased emphasis on design,
product and process development activities. In final year,
students are required to work on a project under the supervision
of a faculty member. They also undergo practical training
in an industrial establishment as part of their overall
engineering education.
POSTGRADUATE
Two M.Tech programmes - in Textile
Engineering, and in Fiber Science and Technology are offered.
The Textile Engineering students are trained for textile
manufacturing industry, while the Fiber Science and Technology
students are trained for the manmade fiber industry. The
students are specially for technical services, research
and development work in the industry.
RESEARCH
Current areas of Doctoral and
post-doctoral research include study of structure and properties
of fibrous materials and fibers, smart polymers, analysis
and design of yarn and fabric formation systems, mechanics
of production processes, comfort properties of textiles,
design of technical textiles, polymer composites, medical
textiles, optimization and mechanism of dyeing and preparatory
processes, eco friendly processing, micro encapsulation,
antimicrobial finishes and apparel engineering.
