How is M.Tech Bioprocess Engineering at IIT Madras?

Arati Sinha

M.Tech Bioprocess Engineering specifically revolves around Mathematical concepts and even contains concepts related to engineering mathematics. It is most suitable for those who study Engineering Mathematics in their Bachelor's program. For those with only GATE-level Math knowledge, it might be difficult to cope and you might even end with a low CGPA.

Some core subjects that contain tough Mathematical concepts include

Transport Phenomenon
Thermodynamics in Biochemical Engineering
Bioprocess Control
Downstream Processing

Additionally, there are assignments related to coding in MATLAB in Thermodynamics and Bioprocess Control which are very challenging unless you find good assistance by your friends or seniors.

The coursework also contains projects in both dry and wet labs. The former is related to modeling/simulation/coding either in MATLAB or Python while the latter are experimental projects conducted in labs.

The specialization is still in its infancy and has very few core companies coming for placements. Some core companies that visited in the past few years are

Perfect Day (INR 6 LPA)
Syngene
String Biosciences

However, non-core opportunities are plenty with first from various sectors like analytics, finance, and software offering great packages provided you have basic computer science knowledge.
