M Tech (Defence Technology)

Introduction

DRDO has been pursuing basic and applied research in collaboration with academia, since last six decades. DRDO has been funding the research projects through various mechanisms to engage academia under its Grant-in-Aid scheme. In last five years, DRDO has given impetus to create Research Eco-system for Directed Research by establishing the Centres of Excellence within premier institutes and universities. DRDO is continuously taking efforts towards expanding the research base by engaging faculties, researchers, scientists, start-ups and industries for developing targeted emerging and futuristic technologies to accelerate the technological self-reliance in defence and security of the nation. DRDO has collaborated with AICTE for conducting the Regular M.Tech Course in Defence Technologies having 6 specialized streams in collaboration with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The M.Tech. courses would infuse interest in students and motivate them to pursue their career in research and development for defence and security to join defence, PSUs and private defence industries.

To support the efforts of DRDO and to fulfil the vision of ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat’, DKTE’S Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, has taken initiation to start the course from academic year 2021-22

Need for M.Tech. (Defence Technology)

DRDO has established very good connect with faculties and researchers of academia through research projects. So far the engineering education in the country do not have M.Tech courses, adapted to impart knowledge related to defence and security applications. Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) Pune, CME Pune and select institutes and industries have been mainly providing required specialized knowledge related to defence and s ecurity to the students and armed forces personnel.

The M.Tech. in defence technology courses has been designed to produce Post Graduates who will have the necessary theoretical & experimental knowledge, skill and aptitude in various defence technologies areas and pursue them to carry out R&D in defence. The students will be provided valuable exposure & knowledge for various state of the art defence systems and contemporary technologies through class lectures & main thesis work. During the program, the students would be given valuable exposure by carrying out their main thesis work in DRDO labs, Defence PSUs & Private Defence Industries. This collaborative effort of DRDO, AICTE and Industries will provide required knowledge to the students and create job opportunities for them. The academic-industry trained workforce will immensely contribute in realizing GOI vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Program Objectives

To develop Post Graduates who have the necessary theoretical & experimental knowledge, skill and aptitude in defence technologies and systems and can get recruited in the various defence laboratories, defence public sector & private industries, ordnance factories and other similar sectors of the economy at national and international level.
To contrive skilled manpower in the field of defence technologies.
To enhance students’ interaction with the senior, experienced manpower engaged in defence labs and defence industries and have real time knowledge / experience in the technology development, technology deployment and defence systems.
To acquaint students for the needs of technologies related to defence & security of nation and to create zeal among students to pursue research and development for defence technologies.
