MTech in Defence Technology

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has launched a regular MTech program in defence technology in partnership with the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). Aero Technology, Communication systems and sensors, directed energy technology and high energy materials technology are among the courses on offer. Students can look forward to conducting their main thesis works in DRDO laboratories, Defence PSUs and industries. Babasaheb Neelkanth Kalyani congratulated DRDO and AICTE for initiating the program as he highlighted its importance for creating a talent pool for defence technology in line with the government’s ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ programme. Aimed at motivating aspiring engineers, the program can be conducted at any AICTE affiliated Institutes and Universities, IITs, NITs or private engineering institutes. The program will be adapted for both online and offline mediums.
