In almost all types of industries, plastic and rubber have become very important material as these are taken as ‘all-purpose’ material. Consequently, rubber and plastic industry has come a long way from the time of its beginning about a century ago.
The job of rubber and plastic engineers is to evolve plastic and rubber of varying qualities and capacities.
Eligibility Criteria for B.Tech. Rubber and Plastic Technology Engineering
You should have passed 10+2 in Science stream with Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics as mandatory subject. Some universities asked for English too but it is not compulsory in all cases.
Career Prospects
You must know that rubber and plastic industry is already well-rooted in India and is rapidly growing. Various areas such as agriculture, telecom, transportation and construction depend largely upon rubber and plastic. In conjunction, since all these areas mentioned are on constant expansion, the growth in rubber and plastic industry is obvious.
A number of private and multi national companies engaged in the production and marketing of rubber or plastic goods provide nice job opportunities to rubber and plastic technologies and engineers.
After acquiring degree in rubber and plastic engineering, you can find job as plastic engineers, technologists and researchers. Even though the industry is growing successfully, but it still has lots more to do in India, so career opportunities in this field are not going to cease or decline but instead, more jobs will be there. Thus, one can be sure of getting handsome salary and respectable designation.
