The M.Tech course in Rural Technology was started in 2016. The candidates are selected through the GATE(Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) examination. The master degree courses follow a four-semester system. In the first two semesters, the postgraduate students are exposed to various courses as well as field trips to provide a holistic understanding of the rural sector. The following two semesters involve one year of thesis work (semesters III and IV) which includes interdisciplinary, fundamental and applied research.
