The course involves the study of the properties of various inorganic and non-metallic objects and their manufacturing processes. Processes involved in the production of these materials include the application of heat, withdrawal of heat, lowering of temperatures, and precipitation reaction. It is designed to impart an in-depth knowledge of cement and ceramics, a binding material widely used in the construction industry and a construction material used in residential and industrial sectors, respectively. The science of Ceramics and Cement Engineering consists of research, development, design and manufacture of a vast range of appliances and construction work using these two materials.

Ceramics and Cement Technology

The science of Ceramics and Cement Engineering consists of research, development, design and manufacture of a vast range of appliances and construction work using these two materials. The course is best suited for candidates having a creative bent- of- mind and interested in pursuing a career in designing processes such as clay work, pottery etc.

How to Join

One who wants to join Ceramics and Cement Technology should pass the qualifying examination with an aggregate score of 50% 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.

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

In Aerospace Industry, ceramics are used for manufacturing airframes, aircraft engines, space shuttles tiles, etc. successful graduates of the course would find career options in various domains such as Aerospace, Mining, Construction, Electronics, Medical, Optical Fibers, Sports, Transportation, Military etc. They can be employed as Materials Engineers, Design Engineers, or try their hands in research & development sectors such as the R&D units of aerospace, automobiles application units etc.
