Agricultural and Food Engineering

Hello Sanika, Candidates need to be Indian nationals to be eligible to apply for admission in UG programmes offered at ICT. Apart from this, aspirants should have cleared their qualifying examination (having Science subjects) with atleast 50% aggregate marks if they are from General category. If the applicant belongs to categories like Backward classes and Persons with Disability then they meet the eligibility criteria if they have secured at least 45% marks. However, this percentage reduction would be offered to candidates belonging to Maharashtra State only. ICT Mumbai admission process for BChem and B.Tech courses is such that 70% seats are available for the state of Maharashtra and the remaining 30% are available for All India (all States and Union Territories including Maharashtra). Here, 70% seats are filled on the basis of MHCET merit and the remaining 30% seats are filled on the basis of JEE Main score. Cutoff marks vary slightly each year. According to the data of MH-CET-2017 After round 6 (Round held at institute level) :-
Chemical engineering: 173 marks
Pharmaceutical sciences and Technology: 150 marks
Surface Coating Technology : 145 marks
Food Engineering and Technology: 158 marks
Polymer Engineering and Technology: 163 marks
Fibers and Textiles Processing Technology: 132 marks
Oils Oleochemicals and surfactants Technology: 148 marks. You can now predict 2018 cutoff on the basis of these marks. I hope it helps a lot to you. Thanks :). .

This branch is all about food production, processing, packaging, preservation and the use of technology and engineering techniques in aiding the above-mentioned stages present in the food processing Industry. So, this branch of engineering covers a number of stages right from production to transportation Also, this branch has research and development area, which deals with topics such as- artificial food, artificial edible items, nutrition science, chemistry. Large amounts of job opportunities are available in front of the graduates in the government as well as private sectors. Competition for job posts is less since there is relatively lesser number of colleges offering this course and thus lesser number of students pursuing it. Thus, landing a good job is relatively easy, when it comes to food processing and technology field.
