Eligibility

10+2

B.Tech Nuclear Science & Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Nuclear Science & Engineering is an Under-Graduate Nuclear Science course. Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and/or the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics.

The nucleus is a very dense region consisting of nucleons (protons and neutrons) at the center of an atom. Almost all the mass in an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons. The duration of the Bachelor of Technology course in Nuclear Science & Engineering is four years and it may be provided by certain institutes on a correspondence basis as well. This is a very important and emerging field as it is becoming an energy hub for electricity and other areas of life. Candidates can find many job opportunities in the very field after the Bachelor of Technology in Nuclear Science & Engineering degree course.

B.Tech Nuclear Science & Engineering Eligibility

  • The aspiring candidates should have passed the 10+2 examination or its equivalent in the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized Board.
  • The candidates should have secured at least 50% aggregate marks at their Intermediate level.
  • Further, applicants will have to appear in JEE (all India level), or in some colleges, their own tests are also considered criteria for admission.
