SVU announces M.Tech in Materials and Mineral Processing course
Sri Venkateswara University has launched a specialized M.Tech program in Materials and Mineral Processing in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad. The course aims to prepare students for emerging industries like electric mobility, semiconductors, and renewable energy.
Why it matters
This initiative addresses the growing demand for skilled professionals in the critical minerals supply chain, which is essential for India's technological and economic security.
Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) announced a specialised M.Tech in Materials and Minerals Processing, a self-supporting programme, under its Department of Chemical Engineering from the current academic year.
“At a time when critical minerals and advanced materials are emerging as the foundation of future technologies and global economic security, our M.Tech programme, offered in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT-H), was conceived to prepare engineering graduates for a rapidly changing global industrial landscape in which the ability to extract, process, refine, recover, and add value to mineral resources is becoming as important as the availability of the minerals themselves,” said SVU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Tata Narasinga Rao.
