M.Tech in Power System Engineering

The department of Electrical Engineering brings an opportunity for post Graduate Study which includes two disciplines one is Electrical Power System Management (EPSM) and another is Control & Instrumentation System (CIS).Students are specializing to deepen their knowledge considerably by focusing on the present day’s specialized need of industries. The curriculum for Post Graduate Programme has been designed by keeping in view of the present scenario of industry needs and research areas. The Department conduct regular visit to industries so that the students interact with the ongoing live projects and advancement in technology. Recent advancement in technologies has put a great impact on Power System on the way of Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Through Electrical Power System Management programme students are educated in the process of reforms in power sector through Deregulation and Restructuring.

Basic Eligibility

 

The eligibility criteria for pursuing a master’s degree is holding a bachelor's degree in (B.E/B.Tech) or any other equivalent branches of engineering. The duration for the course is 2 years.

M. Tech. Power System Engineering programme aims to impart theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of power system analysis, dynamics, operation and control, protection, planning and reliability, security, power quality and power system transients.
