Government Engineering College, Gandhinagar

The Metallurgy Engineering Department at Government Engineering College, Sector-28, Gandhinagar offers a dynamic and industry-relevant undergraduate program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to address emerging trends in advanced materials and metallurgical engineering. The department has been offering an eight-semester Bachelor’s degree program since the academic year 2008-09. The department proudly announces its successful NBA re-accreditation for the period 2025-2026 to 2027-2028, valid up to 30-06-2028. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement. In alignment with industry requirements, the department has launched a MINOR/HONOURS program in “Industrial Based Non-Destructive Techniques and Practices”, starting from the second term of the academic year 2022-23. This program addresses the growing demand for qualified NDT engineers and aims to enhance both employability and entrepreneurial capabilities of the students. To earn this minor/honours distinction, students undertake one additional subject in Semesters IV and V, two subjects in Semester VI, and a minor project in their area of interest during Semester VII. Further enriching the academic environment, the department established a “Center for Quality” in collaboration with Gulf NDE under Vibrant Gujarat 2019. This center provides hands-on learning opportunities for students pursuing the NDT program and supports their practical understanding of quality assurance techniques. The department boasts a highly competent faculty team—a balanced mix of young, dynamic professionals and experienced academicians—dedicated to delivering comprehensive knowledge across areas such as Physical Metallurgy, Mineral Processing, Foundry Technology, Iron and Steel Manufacturing, Metal Forming and Joining, Powder Metallurgy, and Non-Destructive Testing. Students also explore advanced domains like Nanotechnology, Smart Materials, Alloy Design, Failure Analysis, and cutting-edge Characterization Techniques through curriculum and project work. Elective courses and focused project work offer students the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in their chosen areas of interest. Their academic experience is further enriched through industrial training preceding the final year, educational tours, and expert lectures. In the fourth year, students undertake substantial project work—both practical and computational—that fosters independent research and integrates the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program.
