M.Tech. Meteorology or Master of Technology in Meteorology is a postgraduate Meteorology course. Meteorology is a sub-discipline of Atmospheric science that mainly focuses on weather processes and forecasting. The field includes both weather and climate and is concerned with the physical, dynamical (a force producing change or motion), and chemical state of the Earth's atmosphere and interactions between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. Graduate students are expected to carry out original research in the Meteorology and participate in disseminating their results at conferences and through the scientific publication process.

M.Tech. Meteorology Eligibility

  • Aspiring students should have passed B.E./B.Tech. in relevant subject with 60% or equivalent CGPA from a recognized institute.
  • A valid GATE score.
