The B.Tech in Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (HFCT) is a future-focused engineering program designed to develop specialized expertise in hydrogen energy systems, fuel cell technologies and clean mobility applications. Structured on an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework, the program integrates strong foundations in electrochemistry, thermodynamics, materials science and power electronics with advanced training in hydrogen production, storage, safety and system integration.
Aligned with global decarbonization goals and the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the curriculum covers the complete hydrogen value chain-from green hydrogen generation and fuel cell stack engineering to industrial deployment and mobility applications. Students gain hands-on experience through dedicated laboratories, simulation tools, industrial internships and practice-school immersion.
The program prepares graduates for roles in hydrogen plants, fuel cell system design, clean energy infrastructure, mobility OEMs and energy-intensive industries, contributing to sustainable energy transition and zero-emission engineering solutions.
