DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Energy studies was established in the year 2015 (later renamed as Energy Science in 2019) with major intention of promoting quality education in the arena of renewable energy. The rapid depletion of conventional energy sources due to worldwide increase in fossil fuel-based road transport, industrial activity, and power generation demands a predominantneed for the alternate and renewable energy. In the quest to reach this ultimatum,a postgraduate in energy science and research Programme is offered by the Department of Energy Science.
In the year 2019, with a mission to provide manpower with knowledge and skillfor the growth of India's energy sector with innovative energy technologies, the department has started to a new course M.Tech Energy Technology with the approval of AICTE New Delhi effective from 2020-21 academic year onwards.
The University has employed highly experienced and professionally qualified young and dynamic faculty members with background from industries and education in the field of renewable energy.The faculties of Energy Science are actively involving themselves in research and extension activities, paper and book publications. Attending and presenting papers at national and international level seminars and conferences.
The students are encouraged to make maximum use of library and computer lab which are available to them round the clock. The learning environment is always continuous and inculcates in the students. The Department strongly emphasis on quality education, effective teaching pedagogies and real industry interface to propel to a better career of the students.
Vision
To create responsible graduates, researchers and Entrepreneurs with technological excellence, professional commitment while upholding principles and integrity and social responsibility for serving national and global needs.
Mission

CURRICULUM
The programme is designed to give a highly qualified specialization in the field of Energy Science &Technology. The course provides a solid background in the power industry, nuclear plants, and renewable energy technologies. The energy sector provides tremendous opportunities for analysis, design of energy-efficient equipment and systems, innovative financing and project management, technology development, and fundamental research. The courses are offered under Choice based credit system (CBCS). Core, Elective and skill based courses are incorporated in the syllabi. The knowledge gathered in these courses will be applied in a group project where students work on a real-life assignment about the implementation of renewable energy in a certain area.
