• Supported by state-of-the-art laboratories: VLSI Design, Materials and Devices Lab, Applied Quantum Mechanics Lab, Bio Sensors Lab, Device Characterization Lab, Nano Litho Lab, and Nanoelectronics Processing Lab.
• Inculcates high professionalism, ethical standards, and effective communication skills for individual and team work across professional environments related to social, economic, and emerging technologies.
• Periodic training programmes, workshops, seminars by industry and academic experts, and Summer or Winter internships keep students industry-ready in advanced Nano Science and Technology fields.
• Imparts fundamental knowledge of Nano Science and Technology hardware and software methods and tools for solving real-life and R&D problems, oriented to the Industry 4.0 revolution.
• Industry 4.0 can change lives and create huge job openings in areas from healthcare and flexible electronics to materials science and environmental management.
• Covers fundamentals as well as advanced areas like basic electronics, embedded systems, VLSI systems, Design and Fabrication of nanomaterials, nanobiotechnology, and material processing.

• Interdisciplinary B.Tech bringing together physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering for nanoscale applications
• Direct alignment with a high-growth global nanotechnology market (USD 3.69 billion in 2022, projected CAGR of 33.1% from 2023 to 2030)
• Hands-on exposure to advanced fabrication and characterisation tools (Lithography, Dry Etch, Deposition, Wet chemistry)
• Seven specialised labs spanning VLSI Design, Quantum Mechanics, Bio Sensors, Device Characterisation, Nano Litho, and Nanoelectronics Processing
• Coverage of nanomaterials design, synthesis, and fabrication including nanoparticles, nanowires, nanocomposites, and nanostructures
• Industry 4.0 alignment across healthcare, flexible electronics, materials science, and environmental management
• Nine minor course options to broaden the student’s profile into adjacent technical areas
• Lateral entry route for diploma holders and eligible graduates
• Global learning exposure through edX (MIT and Harvard), Harvard Business School Online, and TCS collaboration
