B.Tech. / B.E. In Power Engineering
B.Tech.Power Engineering (Electrical/ Mechanical) program addresses the technical and human resource needs of the power sector, in context of remarkable changes in this particular sector since last decade. India, which is on growth trajectory, is witnessing high growth in all spheres of economy, and so does the power sector, the backbone of all industrial activity.
Power industry is multi disciplinary, highly capital intensive and as any other sector, human resource plays pivotal role in this sector. Power industry requires trained manpower for project planning, implementation, erection, commissioning, operation & maintenance protection and transmission & distribution. No conventional engineering stream available in educational institutions can equip a person with such vast knowledge of different inputs required for the job performance in the power sector. Therefore, a specialized degree course is necessary for the manpower needs of power sector which is growing at spectacular rate.
This four-year degree course, B.Tech. in Power Engineering (Electrical/Mechanical) being offered by NPTI (NR) is first of its kind in the country.This degree course is duly recognized by AICTE and NPTI (NR) is running it with affiliation to Guru Go bind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi.
Admission
Admissions to this course are made through Common Entrace Test (CET) conducted by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) in May/June every year with an intake of 60 students. Six seats are reserved for diploma holders who are admitted through an entrance test, conducted by GGSIPU, in the third semester directly.
Course Overview
B.Tech. Power Engineering (Electrical/ Mechanical) program is divided into eight semesters. The first two semesters being the introduction to the technical world, inculcates the basics required by an engineer. The foundation for power engineering is laid in the next two semesters by providing the insight in subjects like electrical machines, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control engineering and energy conversion. The course content laid down in the following semesters is designed in such a manner that it provides edge over conventional electrical and mechanical engineers and lead to the emergence of power engineers. The semester wise subject break-up is as follows:
