B.Tech Ceramic Engineering Programme is a 4-Year engineering Degree programme to educate and train the persons in the discipline of Ceramic and Glass science and technology. The programme consists of Institute Science and Engineering Courses, which are foundation of Engineering Education. A significant number of core and elective courses are offered to the students during the programme, which cover most of the traditional (Glass, Cement, pottery and whitewares, Refractories, Abrasives, Coatings etc) as well as advanced (Bio-Ceramics, Electro-Ceramics, Engineering Ceramics, Composites etc,) areas of the ceramic and Glass Technology.The programme flexibility gives ample opportunity to study many open elective of other engineering disciplines, Humanities and Management Courses. The students may opt to study along a speciified stream with a combination of project work and courses.
Dual Degree (IDD)
Integrated Dual Degree (IDD). Ceramic Engineering Programme is a 5-Year engineering Degree programme to educate and train the persons in the discipline of Ceramic and Glass science and technology with the award of both B. Tech. & M. Tech. Degrees. The programme consists of Institute Science and Engineering Courses, which are foundation of Engineering Education. A significant number of basic and advanced core and elective (UG & PG) courses are offered to the students during the programme, which cover most of the traditional (Glass, Cement, pottery and whitewares, Refractories, Abrasives, Coatings etc) as well as advanced (Bio-Ceramics, Electro-Ceramics, Engineering Ceramics, Composites etc,) areas of the ceramic and Glass Technology.The programme flexibility gives ample opportunity to study many open elective of other engineering disciplines, Humanities and Management Courses. The students may opt to study along a speciified stream with a combination of project work and courses. The students work on the research and development project for their Masters Thesis during last two years of the programme. The students who qualify GATE are awarded Institute TAship during 5th year similar to M. Tech. students.

Preferred Specializations for Faculty Recruitment in the Department of Ceramic & Engineering are as follows:
Faculty Recruitments: Specializations:

Ceramic Engineering

The Department of Ceramic Engineering is celebrating its Centenary throughout the year 2024 by organizing various technical talks, symposia, alumni meets and conferences. The founder of Banaras Hindu University, Bharat Ratna Mahamana Pandit Mandan Mohan Malviya Ji has started courses in Glass and Ceramic Technology as early as 1924 with the noble objective of advancing glass and ceramic technology in India

Specializations

Glass and Glass Ceramics

Glass and Glass Ceramics

Work is in progress for the development of special coloured glasses, infrared filter glasses suitable for night vision and high density radiation shield glasses.

Refractories

Refractories

Sintering and micro-structural studies of refractory oxides like Al2O3, ZrO2, Mgo, Cr2O3 etc. are carried out to attain the maximum sintered densities and desirable microstructure so that optimum refractory properties are obtained in the end product.

Electrical and Electronic Ceramics

Electrical and Electronic Ceramics

Valence compensated solid solution systems of the type A1-xAx'B1-xB'xO3 show interesting electrical and dielectric properties. Valence compensated perovskites are formed by substituting the cations at A and B site with heterovalent cations in equivalent amounts to maintain electrical charge neutrality and to reduce the electrical strains in the crystal structure.

Energy Materials

Energy Materials

Portland cement concrete lands itself to a variety of innovative designs as a result of its many desirable properties. Concrete inherently is brittle and weak in tension. Several methods have been developed to impart ductile behavior. Broadly these can be grouped as mechanical and chemical methods.

Bioceramics

Bioceramics

Over the last twenty years, biomaterials have seen tremendous growth in the engineering of calcified tissues and the regeneration of both soft and hard tissues. A growing number of elderly people are suffering from age-related illnesses and diseases, which highlights the need for innovative biomaterials that may effectively calcify hard tissue, replace damaged tissue,
