About the Department
The Department of Food Technology was started in the year 2020 offering a 4 year B.Tech degree in Food Technology with an annual intake of 60 students. The importance of Food Technology lies in the fact that it has the capability to provide food to our population through scientific conservations, eliminating available losses and making available more balanced and nutritious food. The Department aims to stimulate the students to develop their skills and knowledge on selection, preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food. Curriculum for the course has been designed to project proficiency by applying scientific disciplines including chemistry, engineering, microbiology, and nutrition to improve the safety, nutrition, and wholesomeness of food. The Department has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ICAR – National Research Centre on Meat, Hyderabad. Graduates can take their opportunities in soft drink manufacturing firms, catering units, restaurants, food research laboratories; food processing companies; spice and flour mills; quality control organizations, and packaging industries as Food Technologists includes Nutritional therapist, Product/process development scientist, Quality manager, Regulatory affairs officer, Scientific laboratory technician, Technical brewer.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROGRAMME
