DEPARTMENT OF FOOD TECHNOLOGY


  • B.Tech - FOOD TECHNOLOGY/
  • Intake 60/
  • Starting Year 2019/
  • Duration 4 Years

About the Course

The main objective of the food technology department is to create trained and skilled human resources to cater to the needs of the rapidly growing food processing sector. The department is also intended to provide technical support to farmers and entrepreneurs to establish small scale industries.The Curriculum includes subjects on processing, preservation, chemistry, quality, safety and marketing aspects of food and food products.It is framed in such a manner that by the time the student completes this degree program, the entrepreneur skill is already developed and they are fit to work in research, teaching and industry. Public sector undertakings like Food Corporation of India require people to handle purchase, storage, transportation, and distribution of food grains and other processed food items. There is good scope of food technology courses which offer numerous job opportunities in various areas. In India food processing industry is gaining momentum as the consumer food industry.
