What Is Dairy Technology?

Dairy Technology is a branch of science and engineering which deals with milk, milk processing, and its products. This is part of food technology and processing but specifically dedicated to milk and its products like curd, milkshake, ice-cream, cheese, and much more. This makes milk products of high quality and fulfills customer's demand by adding value to it.

There are various courses available in India to pursue a career in this field. Accordingly, you can choose an undergraduate or postgraduate according to your level. You can choose a Diploma Or B.Tech in Dairy Technology after 12th science. If you have an interest in dairy technology research and development then you must enroll in this course.

Now a question arises what is the essential requirement to get admission in this course, so let's take look at this.

Essential Requirement To Get Admission In Dairy Technology Course.

For UG Courses

  • The student must be passed 12th Science in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics with a minimum of 50% marks.
  • Students must clear the ICAR exam which is the entrance exam for getting admission.
  • The duration Of this coarse is 4 years.

For PG Courses

  • For PG admission you must be clear your BE/B.Tech Degree in respective discipline.
  • After that, You have to face an interview to get selected in PG.
  • The duration of this course is 2 years.
(Note: Coarse eligibility may vary depending upon the college you choose.)

What is the Admission Process?

To apply for the Dairy Technology B.Tech course, you have to score good marks in entrance exams because these admissions are based on the merit list.

These entrance exams are conducted by ICAR whose name is AIEEA(All India Entrance Exam Of Admission) which is the national level exam for getting admission across the country.

Now we will see what syllabus is covered in B.Tech And PG course?
