The course is designed to deliver the knowledge and skills of modern and advanced manufacturing techniques to students so as to equip them with a holistic knowledge of the subject that will enable them to take on the practical applications of the learned concepts.

Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced Manufacturing as a sub-specialization of manufacturing engineering (under the ambit of mechanical engineering) is a specifically crafted branch of technology application which aims at optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the manufacturing process.

From the days of the Industrial Revolution to the modern-day production units the process of manufacturing has gone a drastic change. High wattage and low output have been replaced with minimal/zero wastage and maximum output. All this has happened due to the adoption of advanced manufacturing methods like automation and ICT in the production units.

To keep up the pace of technology adoption and manufacturing efficiency the need for advanced manufacturing as a separate academic program emerged out. A master’s level course in the domain aims at shaping that manpower that is required to keep up the pace of technology absorption. It grants a holistic domain view through practical based and gradual course structure to the PG level students so, as to let them grasp the concepts and skills with ease.

How to Join

One who wants to join Advanced Manufacturing should pass the qualifying examination with an aggregate score of 55% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. After completing the same, the student has to appear for the Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE - Main) to get admission into one of the top colleges or universities in India.

Most of the engineering colleges in India offer admission to students based on the JEE Main examination. It is a national level entrance examination done by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India.

Graduate Aptitude Test (GATE) is the national level entrance examination for admission to postgraduate courses by the IITs and IISc in India. Admission to these institutions is offered based on the score secured in GATE by the candidate.

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the national level apex authority responsible for the regulation and control of all engineering colleges and courses available in India. AICTE is the statutory authority responsible for proper planning and coordination on the development of the technical education system in India.

Career Prospects

Advanced manufacturing postgraduate has plenty of options to choose from in terms of his/her career. One can choose to as Manufacturing engineer, Assistant controller, Project manager, Quality Inspector, Professor etc.
