hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great,

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that YES, you can definitely do your master's with Nuclear engineering after completing BE from mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical engineers work in nearly every area of science and technology : from aerospace and automotive to nuclear and nanotechnology.Nuclear engineering is a branch of engineering which includes topics and theories from both electrical engineering and chemical engineering .  It deals with combing and breaking down of nuclei. The energy released from this is used to convert water to steam, which is later used to run a turbine. This manages to generate electricity. Nuclear engineering deals with the study of thermodynamics, radiation, nuclear safety and fuel and so on.

Further, some of the best colleges in South India are listed below :

  • IIT Bombay - Indian Institute of Technology. ...
  • IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology. ...
  • Jadavpur University, Kolkata. ...
  • IIT Kanpur - Indian Institute of Technology. ...
  • OPJS University, Rajgarh. ...
  • SASTRA University Thanjavur - Shanmugha Arts Science Technology Research and Academy.

Hey Aspirant

Nuclear engineering is a branch of engineering which includes topics and theories from both electrical engineering and chemical engineering .  It deals with combing and breaking down of nuclei. The energy released from this is used to convert water to steam, which is later used to run a turbine. This manages to generate electricity. Nuclear engineering deals with the study of thermodynamics, radiation, nuclear safety and fuel and so on.

The energy produced from nuclear plants is of low costs, and hence the operational expenses are cheap. Nuclear Energy is extremely reliable; hence there is a gradual shift towards building and producing nuclear energy.

Those who are interested in engineering and those who enjoy both electrical and chemical aspects of engineering will find nuclear engineering interesting.

Nuclear engineering Eligibility Criteria for Postgraduates

These are a few criteria's colleges follow during admissions:

  • The student should have completed 10th and 12th with a minimum of 50% from a recognised board or university.
  • The students should have a degree in Engineering; it could be chemical, electrical or electronics or even mechanical . Even a B.Sc. A physics degree is acceptable.
  • The applicant must have obtained a minimum of 55% in their undergraduate examination.
  • Entrance exams like GATE, determine your admissions. Hence, the students are advised to focus on them from the beginning.
