M.Tech Chemical Engineering at MIT

Manipal

Lead Innovation in Process and Chemical Engineering

The M. Tech in Chemical Engineering at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), MAHE, is a two-year full-time postgraduate program that prepares you to address advanced challenges across process industries, energy systems, materials, and environmental applications.

You gain strong grounding in chemical engineering fundamentals through coursework, laboratory training, industrial exposure, and research-based project work, building analytical ability and professional skills aligned with current industry practice and advanced study pathways.

Program Highlights

Global Academic Recognition: The Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT Manipal is ranked in the 401–450 band in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025.

Advanced Laboratory Infrastructure: You gain access to specialised laboratories including advanced chemical engineering labs, process control labs, and simulation labs using Aspen and Aspen HYSYS.

Practice School Exposure: In the second year, you can pursue practice schools in research and industrial organisations such as CSIR laboratories, DRDO, ISRO, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories.

Research and Academic Engagement: You participate in seminars, workshops, guest lectures, and the annual national symposium Chemignite focused on emerging chemical engineering trends.

Innovation Ecosystem Access: You benefit from MAHE’s incubation facilities, including the Manipal–Government Bio incubator and the Technology Business Incubator, supporting research translation and entrepreneurship.

Lab Work

Work in laboratories covering heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process control, environmental engineering, petroleum engineering, instrumental analysis, and research-focused experimentation using industry-grade equipment.

Industry Projects

Undertake major thesis work during the third and fourth semesters, often carried out in refineries, chemical industries, or pharmaceutical organisations.

Internships

A mandatory four-week summer internship follows the second semester, typically with refineries or chemical manufacturing firms.

Program Eligibility

Qualification

You must successfully complete BE/BTech in the relevant branch from a recognized university with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks.

If you have qualified GATE under the General Category you will be given weightage.

You must either appear for the Manipal Entrance Test (MET)/ PGCUET 2026 and get the required cut off.

*PGCUET scores will be considered only for:

M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering
M.Tech. in Civil Engineering (Construction Engineering & Management)
M.Tech. in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering)
M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal Sciences & Energy Systems)
M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering (Electric Vehicle Technology)
M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering (Power Electronics & Drives)

Continuation of Scholarship

The award of Fee Waiver for the subsequent years will be the same as given at the time of admission in the first year. Scholarship will be extended in the subsequent year only to those students who have cleared all subjects in the University Examinations of previous year before the due date for payment of annual program fee. Students who are promoted to next year with failures (F) / Incomplete (I) / Detention (DT) grades, will NOT be eligible for fee waiver for that academic year. Fee Waiver will be forfeited in the instances of irregularity in attendance, proven charges of indiscipline, bringing disrepute to the Department / Institution / University etc.

Withdrawal Policy

In case the candidate leaves the course before the course completion (for any reason), he / she MUST reimburse the total program fee (as per Prospectus 2025) for the years of scholarship utilized, back to MAHE Manipal.
