Ph.D. Programme
The primary aim of establishing the Centre for Converging Technologies (CCT) is to produce high quality research in the four streams of Nanotechnology, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology, Information and Communication Technology, Cognitive & Neuroscience so as to create new scientific methodologies, engineering paradigms, and industrial products. The focus will be on key areas relevant to the desired rapid growth of the Indian economy.
Master's Programme
Ten Semester (Five year) Integrated Dual degree Master of Technology course in the four streams of Converging Technologies. The course is of non-affiliating nature and available on the campus only.
The Master's programme will have two years of common curriculum in all fields of basic science, and engineering. The third year course involves training in all streams of converging technologies. The last two years of education will be fully customizable in specialized domains in the streams of converging technologies. The credits of various courses are classified as credits in following streams
General
Nanotechnology
Biotechnology and Bioinformatics
Information and Communication Technology
Cognitive and Neuroscience
All courses of First to Fourth Semester are assigned credits as General. On successful passing of all papers of First to Tenth Semester the candidate will be awarded dual degree B.Tech and M. Tech. in a particular stream of Converging Technologies. M.Tech degree will be awarded on the basis of performance in all ten semesters and in the stream in which he has obtained maximum credits. B.Tech degree will be awarded on the basis of performance in first to eighth semesters and in the stream in which he has obtained maximum credits in these semesters. The training will include multidisciplinary perspective necessary for rapid progress of the new technologies and create a synergistic view for potential application in various areas of relevance. The idea is to produce entrepreneurially oriented competent individuals who can exploit the potentials of converging technologies in shaping the future economy, society, and industrial infrastructure. The Course has been cited as "This new technology education program (of University of Rajasthan) may become a pattern for other universities" at the Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology 2007(PICMET-07), Portland, USA.
