The National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-C) is set to introduce a new MTech programme this academic year. The new programme, MTech in Bioengineering, is a specialised graduate programme focusing on the intersection of biology, engineering, and medicine.A press release said the MTech in Bioengineering combines principles and techniques from various disciplines to develop innovative solutions for biological and healthcare challenges. The NIT-C is offering the programme in a self-sponsored mode.

The programme is aimed at equipping students with necessary skills and knowledge to apply engineering principles and tools in the fields of biology and medicine.

Already the NIT-C has introduced two sponsored MTech programmes, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics, last academic year under self-financing mode. The programme is also aimed at helping candidates from multiple disciplines address the ever-growing demand for AI and Data Analytics professionals from all walks of life.

The MTech. in Electric Vehicle Engineering (EVE) is offered to working professionals sponsored by industries, organisations and R&D Institutions, and self-sponsored candidates.
