B.Tech Polymer Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Polymer Engineering is an Under-Graduate Polymer Engineering course. Polymer Engineering is associated with the theory of chemical engineering and caters to the production and use of polymers. Polymer engineers use the principles of plant design, process design, thermodynamics and transport phenomena to develop new products. The Polymer Engineering course, it is taught how polymer engineers can supervise the production process of plastics and other polymers as well.

Bachelor of Technology in Polymer Engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and/or modifies polymer materials. The first-year course is common to all engineering disciplines. The second year comprises the study of some specific subjects related to the field of polymer engineering. Third-year is focused on the more specialized study of the subject. In the fourth year, the candidate takes up project work and industrial training. Polymer Engineering is four years duration course and creates many job opportunities.

B.Tech Polymer Engineering Eligibility

  • Aspiring students should have passed their 10+2 examination or equivalent from a recognized board to get admitted to a bachelor of engineering course in polymer technology.
  • The candidate should have physics, chemistry, and mathematics in higher secondary schooling.
  • The admission is generally based on the rank obtained in the entrance tests. There are all Indian as well as state or university-level entrance tests for admission.
