B.Tech (SUGAR & ALCOHOL TECHNOLOGY)

This department was created in 1988 to meet the requirement of technically trained personnel of the expanding sugar industry in the country. Keeping in mind the demand of the industry and society, the course of sugar technology was upgraded / redesigned to sugar & alcohol technology.

Our is the only course in India, which prepares personnel for sugar industry, brewery, distillery & winery. At present students have placements in all these industries.

B.Tech ( Sugar & Alcohol Technology) consist of 8 semesters(4 years). The students are imparted knowledge in the fields of sugar engineering, sugar manufacturing, sugar industry byproducts, chemical engineering, industrial microbiology, industrial biochemistry, fermentation & alcohol technology, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry & confectionary technology.

Apart from that, the students gain knowledge about basic computer sciences (C programming), business management and applied statistics. The subject of environmental studies is also included in the curriculum to provide an insight to waste management & pollution control of sugar & alcohol industries.

National symposia / seminars are organized by the Department from time to time for the betterment of the academics / researchers to keep pace with the scientific society.
The department also runs Sugar Industry Service Centre ( SISC) , to provide the services of sugar colour determination, sugar product analysis and testing of chemicals used in sugar industry at nominal charges. The department also provides consultancy to sugar industries.
The course of B.Tech ( Sugar & Alcohol Technology) has been so designed that the students have to undergo rigorous inplant training, from second year till final year in parts to give them on the job training by teachers and the industry staff.

To explain the practical operations on machines and to expose the students to new developments in the industry, the department organizes three weeks all india educational / industrial tour every year. The students accompanied by teachers visit various leading sugar industries, breweries, distilleries, wineries etc.

The research & development related to various aspects of sugar & alcohol industries are under taken by the students in the 6th, 7th & 8th semesters to solve the various research problems. The doctoral research fellowships are also offered to the students, to do Ph.D on various aspects. The department has various publications in renouned national & international journals.
