M.TECH.
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
2013 – 2014
GAYATRI VIDYA PARISHAD
COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
(AUTONOMOUS)
Accredited by NAAC with A Grade with a CGPA of 3.47/4.00
Affiliated to JNTUK-Kakinada
MADHURAWADA, VISAKHAPATNAM – 530 048
VISION
To evolve into and sustain as a Centre of
Excellence in Technological Education
and Research with a holistic approach.
MISSION
To produce high quality engineering graduates
with the requisite theoretical and practical
knowledge and social awareness to be able to
contribute effectively to the progress of the
society through their chosen field of endeavor.
To undertake Research & Development, and
extension activities in the fields of Science and
Engineering in areas of relevance for immediate
application as well as for strengthening or
establishing fundamental knowledge.
F O R E W O R D
Two batches of students have successfully completed the M.Tech.
programme under autonomous status, which gave us a lot of satisfaction
and encouragement. In the light of changing scenario of accreditation
process globally, to upkeep the quality of education further, a major
revision in the curriculum has been taken up with an objective to provide
outcome based education.
As the college is getting funds under TEQIP-II, S.C.1.2 for up-scaling
P.G education and research, two more P.G programmes in the thrust
areas are being introduced from this academic year leading to a total of
13 programmes.
We could execute these changes only with the help of the commendable
academicians, enthusiastic representatives from Industry and support
from the representatives of affiliating University JNTU-K present in the
Boards of Studies, Academic Council and Governing Body.
It is hoped that the new regulations and curriculum will enhance the all-
round ability of students so that they can technically compete at global
level with native ethical standards.
