The field of ceramic engineering comprises the making of ceramic products such as glass, tiles, fiber-optic lines, kitchenware, decorative items, engine components and semi-conductors.
As a ceramic technologist your field of work will include study, research and evolvement of ceramic material, planning, designing and evolvement of a number of applications such as porcelain, refractors, enamels and cement etc.
One thing must be clear in mind that creativity does play a vital role in this field.
Eligibility Criteria for B.Tech Ceramic Technology
- You should have passed 10+2 in Science stream with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as compulsory subjects.
- You need to have fairly good marks to get admission in this course.
- Like any other engineering admission, here too you will be required to appear for a qualifying exam.
Career Prospects
After getting the degree in B.Tech Ceramic Technology, you have vast job opportunities in private as well as public sector. Commonly, Ceramic Technology holders are divided into two types of workers. One is Ceramic Technologist and the other is Ceramic Designers. While the former use sand and clay as basic materials in manufacturing; the latter use material produced after intricate chemical processes. It is not just that, even you can set up your own business and be your own boss.
Remuneration
You get varying salaries depending on your education, experience and the type of job. A student with degree in Ceramic Technology can easily earn anything from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month.
