Nanotechnology

For pursuing a career in the field of Nanotechnolgy, the aspirant must have a post graduate qualification in the subject. I. e they must have an M.Tech or M.Sc. Degree in Nanotechnology. At present, no reputed institute in India is offering courses in Nanotechnology at the graduation level. Eligibility criteria for doing Post Graduation in Nanotechnology is Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Life Sciences and with PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) as subsidiary subjects. The M.Tech course in Nanotechnology is of great benefit because students who come from different streams enrich each other to intensify their knowledge. The candidates who wish to pursue higher studies in Nanotechnology, can apply for M.Tech in Nanotechnology after completing their B.Tech degree in any one of the following. I. e in Material Science, Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, Biotechnology, Electronics and Computer Science. Those who have completed M.Sc. In Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Biotechnology and Computer Science can also join for the M.Tech Course. Admission to the 5 year integrated M.Tech Course in Nanotechnology is through entrance test. Regards.

What education is needed for nanotechnology and in which fields?
Nanoscale phenomena underlie many of the properties and interactions of matter, and thus the sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology. However, nanoscale science is an interdisciplinary field one where science and engineering intersect. Studying science or engineering and paying attention to the developments in nanoscience that advance these fields can provide you with a solid foundation for any broad range of careers.
What type of education is needed for a career in nanotechnology? Not everyone working in nanotechnology will require a doctorate degree in science or engineering. A skilled workforce trained at a variety of levels is needed to meet the projected workforce challenge. Education levels include:
Technical programme (a high school degree plus additional training).
Associates degree (2 years of college).
Bachelors degree (about 4 years of college total).
Masters degree (about 6 years of college total).
Doctorate (about 9 years of college total).
Career opportunities exist in areas such as:
Electronics/semiconductor industry.
Materials Science including textiles, polymers and packaging, among others.
Auto and aerospace industries.
Sporting goods.
Biotechnology.
Medical fields and pharmaceuticals.
Environmental monitoring, control, and remediation.
Food Science including quality control and packaging.
Forensics.
University and federal lab research.
Military and national security.
Energy capture and storage.

Eligibility Of the Bachelor of Technology BTech in Nanotechnology-The eligibility conditions of this course state that the candidate should pass senior secondary examination from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as subjects.For most of the institutions, the preferred mode for admission is entrance exam. The candidates who have appeared in senior secondary examination and are waiting their results are allowed to apply for this course as the commonly preferred admission mode is entrance exam.The most common entrance exam that is required for this course is JEE Mains. Other than JEE Mains, some institutes may conduct their own tests and take admission on the basis of scores of the tests. Some of such tests are SRMJEEE and COMEDK. There are some institutions which take students through direct entry. Amity Institute of Nano Technology is one of such institutes. They require the candidate to score a minimum of 60% in class X and XII with a score of minimum 60% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics/Biology.
