Hi Rohith!

The main objective of Metallurgy and Material Engineering is to study any kind of material, their composition, advantages, disadvantages, their applications, etc,. It comprises the physical metallurgy, mechanical behaviour like it's fracture point and more.

Material Engineer will study more about the specific material and change its composition of needed to make it more durable or suitable for the specific application.

This course can be done as a Diploma Course, Undergraduate Course or Post Graduate Course.

Metallurgical Engineers have scope in industries which manufacture machineries, automobiles, etc,. They also use latest scientific technology like X-Rays, Lasers and other Non-Destructive methods to know more about the materials.

All the very best!

Hello aspirant!!

Metallurgists develop different ways of processing metals and converting them into products which are useful for humans. They study the science of metals and also conduct various types of research in the respective field. They primarily work in the iron and steel industrial areas and research laboratories.

Metallurgists are material scientists who specialize in metals such as steel, aluminium, iron, copper etc. They also work with alloys to create other elements to create different types of materials. They are also known as material science engineers or metallurgical engineers.

The metallurgical field is extremely diverse and there are numerous employment opportunities available for metallurgists in every industry and enterprise that is into production, buying, selling or manufacturing of metals or metallic products. Metallurgists are also found in the R&D department of various industries and factory units.

hi,

see the placement is good for iisc or old iits like iit kharagpur, iit delhi, iit bombay, iit kanpur, students get placement in core companies which are closely related with materials science,

however for new iits the placement scenario is not good for core engineering branches, students wither go for teaching lines or may appear in IT companies different consultant position job roles.
