B.Tech in Polymer Science & Technology is a 4- year long undergraduate course essentially involving designs, analyses, and/ or modification of polymer materials.

Polymer Engineering covers aspects of the petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers, compounding and processing of polymers, among other related concepts. Job prospects for polymer engineers abound in industries such as aerospace and automobile.

In India, Polymer Engineers earn somewhere between INR 1,20,000 and 180,000 per annum on an average. Engineers employed in the private sector are generally paid more than the public sector. With increase in experience and skill sets, Polymer Engineers earn up to INR 9,60,000 per annum. Given the rapid expansion in plastic and fiber industries, career scope for Polymer Engineers is vast in the current context. Research labs like National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, have an entire department in place for the study of polymers.

Tabulated below are some of the major highlights of the course.

B.Tech in Polymer Science & Technology: Admission Process

 

For admission to the course, candidates are required to qualify the JEE, State level and national level entrance exams offering the course. The GATE exam is conducted for admission jointly by the IISC and 7 IITs on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.

 

JEE Main and JEE Advanced are conducted for admission to NITs and other colleges across the country. B. Tech lasts for 4 years while M. Tech’s course duration is 2 years.

As per the recent, revised admission process, some of the colleges in India that take admissions through entrance tests are listed here:

 

ICAR AIEEA 2020

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) conducts the AIEEA (All India Entrance Examination for Admission) examination for admissions to UG & PG programs in the engineering fields.

 

BITSAT 2020

Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, organizes a university level entrance test BITSAT (Birla Institute of Technology & Science Admission Test) for admissions to UG engineering programs.
