To be a leading institution in producing technically competitive food technologists and researchers in order to meet up food security and sustainability of the nation.
“Transforming the Precious Gifts of Mother Earth”
With due respect and Wishes, I welcome you all to the Department of Food Technology
which has started its academic journey in the year 2019 at Nehru Institute of Technology. The
four year spanned B.Tech Degree program moulds the student with desired skills and knowledge
to become industry ready during and after their graduation.The department has well furnished
modern laboratory equipments for transferring the core academic skills to student community
through outcome and value based education.
The program curriculum has been structured with real life based concepts and problems
which pave way for kick starting the entrepreneurial journey with extreme confidence. Devoted
faculty team of the department starves hard for making the student community to attain
excellence in academics, co-curricular activities, interpersonal skills and placements.The
department has a strong commitment to develop centre of excellence in areas of food processing,
Food 3D printing and Plant based meat.The department has established strong connections with
top notch industries to overcome the existing gap in academics and to make students get placed
at the end of their course such as DPro Food Consult , Vegroute Agritech Pvt Ltd , Aspire
Training Research Consulting and Ramasamy Chinnammal Trust
The Department students have been part of every academic related skill upgrading
seminars, workshops, conferences and industrial visits . Beyond the regular academic sessions,
students are directed to indulge in activities of various cells and clubs to keep them more
receptive about the subject concepts. The department guides and motivates students to acquire
funds for their innovative projects from government and non government agencies such as
TNSCST , TNSI , MSME , NEWGEN IEDC and TBI.Regular Collaborative activities between
faculty and student team have witnessed development of new food products for launching in the
market with assistance of incubation and funding. The department organizes regular sessions on
expert talks from diverse food based industries to share their better and bitter experiences for
motivating the students to face unprecedented pandemic like situations in both academics and
professional career. The course also provides higher study options in leading institutes of India
such as NIFTEM, IIFPT etc. and placements in leading food processing industries to serve as
Research Scientist, Quality Testing Engineer, Food Safety officer and Pandemic Health Product
Developer.
I strongly recommend Food Technology at NIT for young aspirants who want to start a
ground breaking career after graduation with a vision to serve for the goodness of entire
humanity.
