History

It had initiated teaching programs at the bachelor’s degree level and master’s degree level in 1947 and 1964 respectively. The first ever research conferment in metallurgy in India, A.I.I.Sc., was made in 1951. The first doctoral degree was awarded in 1971 and the first D.Sc. degree was awarded in 1992.

The Silver Jubilee of the Department was celebrated in 1972 with twin International Symposia on “Defect Interactions in Solids” and “Industrial Metallurgy”. During 1997, the Golden Jubilee of the Department was marked by an International Symposium on “Recent Advances in Metallurgical Processes”. The Diamond Jubilee of the Department was celebrated during 2006-2007.
