M.Tech Optical Engineering

Master of Technology in Optical Engineering

M.Tech Optical Engineering or Master of Technology in Optical Engineering is a postgraduate Optometric course. Optical engineering is the field of study that focuses on applications of optics. The study includes five required courses in optical engineering, four elective courses, a thesis project, and a comprehensive oral exam.

The Optical Engineering program trains students to use mathematical and scientific ideas to design, develop, and test optical systems, lasers, and related electrical devices. Wave theory and mechanics, electromagnetic applications, linear and nonlinear optics, photon detection, laser beam qualities, directed energy, harmonic production, optical systems, shielding, and the design and implementation of associated systems and equipment are all covered.

M.Tech Optical Engineering Eligibility

• The aspiring students must have completed their BE / B.Tech degree in Electronics Engineering / Electronics & Communication Engineering / Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering / Electronics and Electrical Engineering / Mechanical Engineering / Computer Science and Engineering / Information Technology securing at least 55% aggregate marks (50% for SC Candidates of Haryana) or equivalent with valid GATE score from a recognized University.
• The candidates who have qualified for their M.Sc in Electronics / Electronic Science / M.Sc in Physics / Applied Physics with 55% (50% for SC Candidates of Haryana) marks or equivalent with valid GATE scores are also eligible.
• Some of the very reputed universities and institutes conduct an entrance examination for admission.

M.Tech Optical Engineering Course Suitability

• The Master of Technology in Optical Engineering program is appropriate for those who want to develop and create technologies that use light. They must learn and apply optics science in great depth in order to grasp what is physically feasible to do (physics and chemistry).
• Those who want to refresh their knowledge in this field, as well as students/engineers who want to pursue research or study for a Ph.D. degree, and first-year students who want to improve their training, are suitable candidates.
• They should be patient; a confident demeanor is essential for an optometrist's job.
• To be a successful optometrist, they must have mechanical aptitude, strong eyesight and coordination, self-discipline, a propensity to help others, a work ethic marked by devotion and determination, and the ability to deal sensitively with patients.

How is the M.Tech Optical Engineering Course Beneficial?

• They may conduct eye examinations to check a patient's vision, prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses, and provide vision therapy and low-vision rehabilitation after completing the Master of Technology program in Optical Engineering.
• They also run equipment that performs tasks like polishing edges, hardening, and altering lens diameters.
• Candidates can create their own eye clinic, optical store, lens production facility, or other independent practice.
• They can also collaborate with Optician showrooms, eye physicians, the contact lens and ophthalmic lens industries, hospital eye departments, and other organizations.
