Question
I am interested in Nanotechnology. Which institutes offer courses in Nanotechnology?
Nano means very small and Nanotechnology is derived from the combination of two words Nano and Technology. It is the technology in miniature form and combines the study of Physics, Chemistry, Bio-informatics and Biotechnology.

Nanotechnology as an in depth study is in its nascent stage but the country is making vast inroad to match up with the rest of the world and students who pursue M. Tech. in nanotechnology are sought after. Career opportunities exist for students in India and abroad as well. Nanoelectronics, Nano-Biotechnology and Nanomaterials are the main divisions of Nanotechnology. The areas covered are Medicine, Agriculture, Environment, Space research, Forensic Sciences, telecommunications, environment, aerospace and Genetics to name a few. Career wise, a degree in Nanotechnology along with a degree in one of the above-mentioned areas can improve jobs prospects of an aspirant significantly.

Given below are the details of institutes that offer M.Tech in Nanotechnology:
National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra
