IIT Hyderabad launches nuclear technology orientation programme for engineers, professionals

IIT Hyderabad, in collaboration with Crimson Energy Experts, has announced a three-month Nuclear Technology Orientation Programme to train engineers and professionals in nuclear power technologies.

Sangareddy: In a significant step towards strengthening India’s nuclear energy talent pipeline, the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H), in collaboration with Crimson Energy Experts Private Limited (CEEPL), has announced the launch of the Nuclear Technology Orientation Programme (NTOP), a first-of-its-kind three-month residential programme designed to equip engineers and professionals with a comprehensive understanding of nuclear power technologies and operations. The programme will commence on August 3 at the IIT-H campus.

As India accelerates its clean energy transition and expands its nuclear power capacity, the demand for trained professionals with domain knowledge in nuclear technologies is expected to grow significantly. The NTOP is aimed to bridge this industry-academia gap by offering participants exposure to the technical, operational, safety, and regulatory aspects of nuclear power generation.

The programme is targeted at early and mid-career engineers, managers from EPC companies, manufacturing professionals, engineering consultants, power sector personnel, and executives from public sector undertakings engaged in energy and infrastructure development.

A key highlight of the programme is the involvement of distinguished faculty members from IITH alongside experienced scientists and engineers who have served in leading Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) organisations

Speaking on the launch of the programme, Director of IIT-H Prof BS Murty said nuclear energy will play an increasingly important role in the country’s clean energy future as India advances towards energy security and sustainable growth. The initiative, he said, reflects the IIT-Hs commitment to creating industry-relevant learning opportunities that address national priorities and future technology needs.

Commodore RD Mane, President Nuclear, CEEPL said their partnership with IITH is a bold commitment to building nuclear professionals of the highest global calibre, trained by state-of-the-art faculty who bring the frontier of nuclear science into the classroom.
