M.Sc. (Nanotechnology)

Master of Science in Nanotechnology

M.Sc. Nanotechnology or Master of Science in Nanotechnology is a postgraduate Nanotechnology course. Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally, Nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometres in at least one dimension and involves developing materials or devices possessing at least one dimension within that size. The duration of M.Sc. (Nanotechnology) is mostly of two academic years but it varies from institute to institute. The Sardar Patel University is providing in two years and the minimum time to complete the course is also two years. The course is available both in a full time and part-time basis (correspondence). The course is an important and career orienting one which opens many jobs for the students after its completion.

M.Sc. Nanotechnology Eligibility

• Aspiring students should have passed a B.Sc. (Physics/Chemistry/Maths) with one of the subjects as principal & the other two as subsidiary or B.Sc. (Ind. Chem.) with Maths, Physics subsidiary, or B.E. (Chemical/Metallurgy) with a minimum of 45%.
• The admission criteria for the course may vary from university to university. In various colleges and universities, there is an entrance exam for admission to the course.
