As the global nuclear renaissance unfolds, the need for a qualified nuclear workforce cannot be undermined. The School of Nuclear Energy (SNE) at Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) aims at developing “nuclear ready” engineers who can effectively undertake career assignments in the global civilian nuclear power industry.

The School of Nuclear Energy comprises of senior faculty members who have held leadership positions at Department of Energy (DAE) organizations such as the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) leading research and project assignments for over 30 years. The expertise of the faculty, augmented by world-class infrastructure, extensive industry exposure and rigorous research work, presents a holistic learning experience to students.

The School of Nuclear Energy currently offers a 2-year full-time M.Tech programme in Nuclear Engineering. Candidates applying for the M.Tech programme must have a Bachelors degree in Mechanical/ Electrical/ Electronics/ Instrumentation/ Chemical/ Civil/ Industrial/ Metallurgical Engineering or M.Sc. in Physics / Electronics with a minimum CPI of 6.5 or 60% marks. Sponsored candidates satisfying the above criteria with a minimum industry experience of two years may also apply.

The programme is divided into four semesters in which students will be exposed to a wide range of subjects like radiation physics, fuel management, plant operation and maintenance, regulatory framework, etc. Students will undertake practical work at the state-of-the-art fundamental and equipment laboratories. Research and teaching assignments are also offered to eligible candidates.

The M.Tech programme shall present career opportunities to students with utilities, manufacturing companies, R & D centers, technical service providers, government agencies, and the like. The programme is also suitable for professionals working in the power sector, be it thermal, hydro or wind, seeking to enhance their knowledge of the nuclear power industry and wanting to develop transferable skill-sets.
