Department of Food Technology

OBJECTIVE : There is vast opportunity ahead in food processing sector in the country. To meet the growing demands of food processing industry for technical personnel, the Department of Food Technology at this University has started M.Tech. Food Engineering course from the academic session 2007-08. The objective of this programme is to train the best talents of the nation in order to provide a support base for the country's food security. The syllabus is so framed as to enable the students to comprehend the whole gamut of the fast changing food science scenario of the world.

OBJECTIVE : The Department offers M.Sc. Food Technology programme to support the growing demand of food industries for qualified human resources. A background in the science is a prerequisite to seek admission to the post-graduate programme. During the programme, the studentslearn aboutthe different aspects of food in the field of food engineering, food packaging, cereals, pulses, oilseeds technology, fruit & vegetable technology, animal product technology, food biochemistry, nutritional evaluation, microbiology, quality control & safety. In-plant training of about 6 weeks is an integral part of the course curriculum. During training, the students are exposed to real business environment by making them proficient in communication, computer & managerial skills.

OBJECTIVE : Bachelor of Vocation programme i.e., B.Voc. (Food Processing & Engineering) programme offers skill- based education to cater to the needs of food industries. The students will be skilled for various sectors of food processing industry with special emphasis on milling, baking, post-harvestprocessing of horticulture products, design & development of new products food safety and management. The students will be acquainted with management skills, data analysis & entrepreneurship. The hands-on training, industrial visits & trainings are the essential componentsof this programme. The National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) levels for the course offered shall be as follows: -

OBJECTIVE : B.Tech. (Food Technology) programme offers a unique education that blends engineering analysis with knowledge of food material characteristics for the design and development of processes and equipment to produce safe, nutritious, and wholesome foods. Food Technology isa multidisciplinary programme which combines science, microbiology, and engineering educationto prepare students for exciting careers in food and related industries. Food Technologists are involved in production of value-added food products and in the research and development of newproducts and processes. The B.Tech Food Technology programme is designed to train the students to cater to the need of food industry sector. The students trained under this programmewill be competent to manage effectively and efficiently any challenge linked to design, development and manufacturing of processes and equipment related to production of safe, delicious & nutritious food.

Objective: 

The Integrated Undergraduate Programme (B.Sc.) in Food Technology embodies our commitment to excellence, equipping students with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to thrive in the dynamic field of Food Science and Technology. This integrated curriculum blends essential concepts from food science, engineering, technology, nutrition, and business management to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the entire food processing chain. In this course emphasis will be both on theory and practical learning experiences through classroom teaching, assignments, laboratory sessions, industrial visits, and
internships, allowing students to apply knowledge to real-world scenarios and develop essential skills required for success in the industry. Students graduating from this 5-year programme are expected to serve as food scientists and technologists in reputed food industries as well as government and semi-government institutes and organisations. The key feature of this programme is that the courses are taught on a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as per NEP 2020 guidelines.
