Should I take Material Science Engineering at NIT Hamirpur?

Material science and Engineering have been recently started at NIT Hamirpur. The department already offers an Mtech program. From what I have heard, the faculty profiles are great and the future of this department seems promising. The growth will be steady depending on the funds received. 

Material engineers study and optimize material behavior and properties so that they can be designed specifically to suit a unique application. I will suggest you choose this branch only if you are planning to pursue a career in research or higher education. It has less competition as compared to other branches.

Many jobs in PSUs and DRDO etc. are offered to material science students. You can also be admitted to a top university abroad after qualifying for GATE. NIT Hamirpur also has a Material Research Centre and is one of the few of its kind in North India. 

Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you want to join an existing established department or a new one.
