Nuclear Engineering

A graduate in Nuclear Engineering can apply for this programme by clearing the GATE exam. Nuclear Engineering has good career prospective in several areas. The qualified engineers are required in various fields like Atomic Energy and Defence Sectors, Nuclear Medicine and Research and Civil Nuclear Energy.

Nuclear Engineering & Technologies offered to undergraduate students at college level and the duration of the programme is 4 years. A minimum 10 + 2 level educational qualification or equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English. Admission is offered on the basis of Entrance Examination. At the postgraduate level, candidates need to clear Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).

There is no engineering in BARC. You can join BARC after completing Nuclear Engineering.

For that, you can opt an easy way. After class 12, NEST exam is conducted by main 3 research institutes and if you scored great in that, then you would be eligible to get admission in 5 year integrated B.Sc. M.Sc. Programme and after that, you would be directly posted to Homi Baba Research Center.

Nuclear engineering courses in India have good career options for bright and highly qualified engineers in the Atomic Energy and Defiance Sectors, Nuclear Medicine and Research and more particularly in the field of civil nuclear energy. These are some top colleges for M.Tech in nuclear engineering in India:
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (Maharashtra)
School of Nuclear Energy, Gandhinagar (Gujarat)
Amity Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (AINST), Noida (Uttar Pradesh)
Sastra University, Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu).

IIT-Bombay and Kanpur are the best options for nuclear engineering .

No doubt, IITs are best IIT-Kanpur/Bombay/Delhi. DAE/BARC are known institutes for pursuing nuclear engineering. You can get opportunity of M.Tech from these institutes.
