Nuclear Engineering and Technology is an interdisciplinary postgraduate program offering M. Tech. and PhD degrees. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is reflected in the eligibility of students for admission to M. Tech./PhD program. Graduates in engineering, primarily Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Chemical, and M.Sc. in Physics are usually admitted. Some of the ongoing research are nonlinear reactivity interactions in low order fission reactor dynamical systems, simulations of Fukushima type accident, development of gamma-ray mobile CT system, X-ray micro-focal CT in material applications.
