Nuclear Science and Technology
In the 21st century, Nuclear Science and Technology is set to play a transformative role in India’s development, particularly in achieving energy security and sustainability. With India targeting 63,000 MWe by 2032, along with a long-term goal of generating 25% of its electricity from nuclear power by 2050, the demand for skilled professionals in this sector is rapidly increasing. This presents a unique and promising career pathway, especially for young women aspiring to contribute to nation-building through science and technology. With the growing government focus on clean energy and technological self-reliance, women engineers trained in this domain will be at the forefront of innovation and policy implementation.
For Indian girl students, pursuing a B.Tech. in Nuclear Science and Technology at Mody University, Lakshmangarh offers a distinct advantage. As the only university in India providing this specialised programme exclusively for women, Mody University creates a supportive and empowering learning environment that fosters leadership, confidence, and innovation. The collaboration with IMT Atlantique, a leading technological university in France, provides strong international exposure, advanced curriculum design, and global research perspectives.
This programme goes beyond theoretical learning by integrating multidisciplinary training in Nuclear Engineering, Radiation Detection, Nuclear Safety and Safeguards, and Sustainable Energy Policy. Students gain hands-on experience, preparing them for careers in nuclear power plants, research institutions such as BARC, IGCAR, RRCAT, VECC, IPR, NFC, and CSIR-CEERI, as well as in nuclear medicine and applications of nuclear technology in healthcare and food sectors.
