Ques. What are your thoughts on food processing engineering at NIT Rourkela?

● Top Answer By Prateek Jha on 14 Aug 23

Ans. NIT Rourkela's newly launched branch Food Processing has a wide scope for development and research and its worth cannot simply be judged through its placements. It caters to the ones interested in the production and processing of food and maintaining its quality. The branch covers all arenas of food marketing from developing food and machines to keeping the food safe. It comprises concepts from various other branches too like mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and Food Science and Engineering. As there is growth and development in India with respect to Food and Beverage Processing, there has opened up a gate for great research and job opportunities, as well, in the near future or I would say it has already started. I asked a friend about the placement scenario of the branch and he told me that around 80-85% of students are placed. The highest salary package offered is 17 LPA. Most of the students receive internship opportunities while some prefer going to top foreign universities to pursue higher studies or research. Some of the core companies visiting the campus for placement are Milk Mantra, IDMC, Tetra Pak, etc. Some of the non-core companies visiting the campus for placement are ZS Associates, TCS, EXL Services, Tredence, Affine Analytics, etc. Other programs that students of this branch end up going to include Management programs in IIM-A, XIMB, NIBM, BITS Pilani, and direct Ph.D. in foreign universities. Some even go for M.Tech Program in NIFTEM. So, the B.Tech program in Food Process Engineering is a great choice for interested students considering its increasing demand and scope. Read more

Ques. Should I take food and agriculture engineering at IIT Kharagpur?

● Top Answer By Senjuti Gupta on 27 Mar 23

Ans. In my opinion, Food and Agriculture Engineering course offered at IIT Kharagpur is indeed a good option for those inclined toward this field. Here are a few pointers as to why choosing this program is worthwhile Before making the final decision, go through the course structure and check if it aligns with your interests. If you like it then go for it as it offers a plethora of opportunities in the field of food processing and agriculture in India as well as the USA. This is the perfect branch for research enthusiasts as this sector needs a lot of research to be done on increasing food production and its proper storage. Another great aspect is that you are not required to pursue your branch only. You may apply for interdisciplinary courses like minors, micro specialization, etc in other branches of your own choice. This will not restrict your job prospects to the specific branch only. You are always open to changing your branch at the end of the first year if you feel that the branch you chose is not for you. However, for this certain conditions need to be met like an 8.5+ CGPA. Trust me this is not that difficult all you need is some consistency and determination. This course is a splendid opportunity for those who are planning to pursue MBA in Ahmedabad as it provides a course in Agri-business Management. This program is highly coveted by many and guarantees excellent packages. All the above opportunities are lucrative and can appeal to anyone who is genuinely interested in the branch. Moreover, IIT Kharagpur placements are also decent for the branch because most non-core companies allow the students of this branch to sit for placements.Read more

Ques. Which is better for food technology TNAU or TANUVAS?

● Top Answer By Niyati Pathak on 14 Sept 21

Ans. Both TNAU and TANUVAS are relatively similar institutions because they are state-run universities. There is no major difference between the two universities in terms of their infrastructure and faculty members. However, when compared on higher levels, then TNAU can be considered slightly better than TANUVAS, regardless of their resemblance in academic profiles. Categories Food Technology at TNAU Course Fee 4.64 lakhs Course Duration 4 years Average CTC 10-12 LPA Recruiting Companies Cadbury, ITC, Yara, Zifo Technologies, etc. Having said that, it is always a better idea to try for other institutes like CFTRI, IIFPT, or NIFTEM for receiving better exposure, alongside a greater knowledge base.

Ques. Is there any quota for a student having a BTech degree in food technology to apply for the IIM Ahmedabad?

● Top Answer By Ritwick Gorai on 15 Feb 21

Ans. No, as per the recent guidelines, there is no quota as such. Instead, there was a discrete program named PGN-ABM until only the 2015-17 batch. However, it has now altered to FABM (commonly known as, Food and Agri-business Management), which also is elaborated as the two-year full time residential programme that covers allied sectors like food procession, commodities, etc, found since the next batch. Even though the eligibility criteria is not disclosed yet, the name suggests clearly that students with a Food and Technology degree will be considered. So, in that case, there is an upside to this, with almost no worries concerning the quota for a student having a BTech degree in food technology to apply for the IIM, Ahmedabad. Categories IIM Ahmedabad Course Fee 10-23 lakh Highest CTC 40 LPA Average CTC 14.5 LPA Placement Percentage 90-95% In spite of that fact, before even being shortlisted, you will definitely need to perform well in CAT. Nonetheless, it would be even better if the candidate applying solely goes for PGP in ABM which potentially is one of the best Agri business management courses in Asia. It is even a sector-specific programme in case. As reported, the IIMA PGP ABM program, which is a full time 2 year course suggests that the candidate applying should be having a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in agricultural sciences or agriculture-related disciplines, as per the guidelines point out. In fact, PGP ABM students go on to attend the same classes as the PGP which basically is the flagship MBA program together during the ongoing first year. In this manner, there is zero downsizing.Read more
