The Bachelor of Technology course in Food Process Engineering provides students with comprehensive knowledge about food processing, preservation and conservation processes, and tools. They learn about different methods to store and preserve food for avoiding damage.
B. Tech Food Process Engineering is a four-year undergraduate course and is divided into eight semesters. In every semester, students learn to gain knowledge about quality controls checks on food products to identify adulteration issues and nutritional aspects. Millions of Indians are consuming various food items in packaged and processed form. Hence, this course brings good opportunities for the students. On completion of this course, students can work in the food industry. They can secure good job positions like production manager and quality control associate. Many reputed companies such as Amul and Cadbury hire graduates from this field.
After graduating in the field of Food Process Engineering, students can earn around Rs. 2 lakhs per annum to Rs.4 lakhs per annum. This remuneration increases with the level of expertise.
After completing this course, students can acquire knowledge about the specific processes in order to achieve the expected outcome. Students possessing technical as well as organizational skills can pursue this course to gain success in the field of the food industry. Students who desire to conduct research and lab testing can also opt for this course.
For admission, students must have cleared their 12th examination or equivalent examination from a recognized board or institution. Some colleges prefer students having 50% marks in their 10+2 examination with Science subjects, Physics, Chemistry, and Maths.
