The Department of Chemical Engineering offers the following postgraduate programs:

• Master of Technology Program:  M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering
• Master of Technology-Doctor of Philosophy Dual Degree Program: M.Tech.-Ph.D. Dual Degree in Chemical Engineering

Through the M.Tech. and M.Tech-Ph.D. programs in Chemical Engineering, IIT Jodhpur is making a conscious effort to divulge from the traditional path and planning to establish itself to become a leading institute in this new genre of Chemical Engineering education. The program involves a mix of traditional courses followed by electives to specialize in the three chosen areas;

i) Industry 4.0+Data Analytics;

ii) Reaction Engineering;

iii) Petroleum and Petrochemicals.

Further, the project component ensures hands-on problem-solving skills to enable solving industrial problems as well as undertake research in the different areas of chosen field.
