M.Tech in Aerospace Propulsion Technology is a two-year fulltime program. The programme provides insight into the fundamentals of Aircraft Propulsion, Gas Dynamics, Heat Transfer, and Combustion and several aspects of Gas Turbine Engine design and testing. This programme offers strong foundations in theoretical, computational, and experimental methods of Propulsion Technology. The department has dedicated laboratories equipped with a wind tunnel and a small gas turbine engine. Furthermore, there is a dedicated computational facility with high-end computers and licensed engineering application software such as ANSYS-CFD, NASTRAN, MATLAB, FEAST, and CAD software. In the last two decades, India has witnessed significant changes in several spheres at an increasingly rapid speed. The economic reforms and the policies of liberalization, globalization, and privatization have resulted in the momentous changes in perspectives of policies and practices pertaining to technology, development and the interrelationship between the two. Several leading Global consultancies estimate that India will become the world’s the largest aerospace clusters. The Aerospace Industry is expected to have a high growth rate which would create enormous employment opportunities. To address the growing need of propulsion engineers, Jain (Deemed-to-be-University) is offering a Master’s programme in Aerospace Propulsion Technology.Eligibility : B.E / B.Tech / AMIE/ MAeSI in Aerospace Engineering/ Aeronautical Engineering/ Mechanical Engineering/ Mechatronics/ Chemical/ Civil/ EEE/ ECE/ Naval Achitecture/ Automobile/ Metallurgy with not less than 50% (45% marks in case of candidate belonging to reserved category) in the respective bachelor’s degree from a recognised university.Duration : 2 Years (4 Semesters)Selection Criteria : Based on JET (Entrance Test) and interview performance.
