Hello Saurabh,

Nanotechnology is an advanced field and those with M.tech can join engineering firms and research labs. In IIT Roorkee placement scenario in nanotechnology cant be called very good, not very bad though but most of the students prefer to go for research or a Ph.D. or teaching after M.tech.

If you want a good career in India, scope in nanotechnology here is still in the development stage. In India, it is still at the educational level not at the implementation level. Research labs and institutions such as IISc, TIFR, NCBS, and IITs are performing research in this field. If you are interested in working in the industry with Nanotechnology then options are not many. You may find a very few companies working on nanotechnology where you may find recruitment. But if research interests you then you can join any one of the prestigious institutions listed above or move abroad for pursuing it.

Nanotechnology is doing very well abroad in nations such as USA, UK, Singapore, Germany, China, etc in terms of R&D. There has been significant development towards the usage of Nanotechnology in cosmetics, food and textiles and medicines also(Nanomedicine).

Though slowly yet opportunities in this career field are growing. Soon there will be numerous job sectors in which you can be employed such as

Environmental observing, control

Food science including quality control and packaging

Forensics

federal lab research

Military and national security

Energy capture and storage

Electronic industries

Material science including textiles, polymers, packaging, and many more areas.

Hope it helps!
