Eligibility

10+2 or Equivalent

B.E (Ceramic Technology) or Bachelor of Engineering in Ceramic Technology is an Under-Graduate Ceramic Technology course. The Ceramic Technology course deals with the properties, manufacture, design, and applications of ceramic materials. The ceramic designers are concerned with designing various types of ceramic wares used in industries, households, institutions, corporate houses, and other places.

Ceramic technologists may specialize in glass working in industries engaged in the manufacture of tableware, fiber optics, bulbs, window panes, and electronics ancillaries. Specialist in structural clay work in the manufacture of enameled articles and pipes, engine parts, tools artificial limbs, or cement used in construction or ceramic wares such as tiles, pottery, bathroom, and kitchen fixtures. The course is four years duration and important in nature that opens many job scopes for them after its completion.

B.E (Ceramic Technology) Eligibility

  • Aspiring students should have passed 12th class from a recognized Board
  • 10+2 must be qualified with a Science stream or its equivalent 
  • Should possess a minimum  of 70% aggregate marks
