DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME The Department’s Bachelor of Technology programme runs for a minimum of 5 years i.e. 10 semesters (for UME candidates) and 4 years i.e. 8 semesters (for Direct entry). As part of the programme, students visit industries (usually in the second semesters of years 2 and 3) to enable them reconcile theoretical knowledge with what obtains in the industry. In the second semester of the fourth year, they also go on a six-month Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in a food industry. At the end of the SIWES training, the students will return to spend the fifth year to complete their course work and to undertake a detailed research work (project). On successful completion of the programme, candidates shall be awarded Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Food Science and Technology. |
