Students from a wide range of engineering streams - from chemical engineering to computer science, can apply for MTech in Defence Technology courses.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, a leading multi-campus, multi-disciplinary teaching and research institution in the country, has become one of the pioneers in offering MTech in Defence Technology, the post-graduate programme jointly developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the R&D wing of Ministry of Defence, and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), a national-level council for technical education, with the objective of meeting the burgeoning skill needs of India's fast growing defence sector. The university seeks admission for the academic year 2021-22 from engineering students with undergraduate degrees. Since Defence Technology is a multi-disciplinary domain, students from a wide range of engineering streams - from chemical engineering to computer science, can apply.
