A future-ready curriculum designed to keep up with the way the food industry is changing today. Instead of treating new technologies as separate topics, we have built them into the core of the programme — so students don't just learn food technology, they also understand how modern tools can improve it.
The B.Tech Food Technology programme runs for 4 years across 8 semesters, with a total of 170 credits. The curriculum offers 4 elective groups with 16 elective options, including industry-oriented subjects. Students have access to flexibility through minors, honours, and more choice in final-year courses.
Structured progression from foundation through advanced topics with flexibility in the final year.
Balanced distribution across theory, labs, projects, electives, internships and skill-based courses.
Carefully curated elective groups covering AI, product development, safety, sustainability and plantation crops.
Options for an Honours track or Minor specialisation alongside the core Food Technology degree.
This programme is designed to keep up with the way the food industry is changing today. Instead of treating new technologies as separate topics, we have built them into the core of the curriculum.
Across all semesters, students will be exposed to a "Smart Food Systems" approach, where food science, processing, sustainability, and Artificial Intelligence are connected. The idea is simple — students should not just learn food technology, but also understand how modern tools can improve it.
Students will build a strong foundation in:
Food Chemistry, Microbiology and Processing fundamentals that anchor every downstream application.
Processing techniques and equipment — the engineering side of food production at scale.
Modern tools and techniques for analytical testing, sensory evaluation and quality assurance.
Designing and developing new food products — from ideation to prototype to shelf.
Waste utilisation, resource efficiency and eco-friendly approaches to food manufacturing.
Learning how to apply AI and data analytics to food quality testing and product improvement.
The curriculum introduces students to modern tools in a practical way:
These are taught in a way that connects directly with food applications — not as abstract subjects.
In the later semesters, students can choose areas based on their interest:
Students can complete a Food Technology major with a minor from one of the following programmes — creating a future-ready, cross-disciplinary professional profile.
Smart food systems, data-driven quality and AI-led product development.
Software for food traceability, dashboards, analytics platforms and automation.
Process design, unit operations and industrial-scale food processing depth.
Sensors, IoT, embedded systems and automation for food manufacturing.
