About University: Kuvempu University was established in 1987. It has been named after great writer and

poet Kuvempu. It has a distinctive academic profile, blending in itself commitment to rural ethos and a modern spirit.

The curricular and co-curricular activity on the campus is vibrant and exciting.

It is located in the sahydri region of Western Ghats. The campus is around 28 km from Shimoga city (18 km from

Bhadravathi) and only 2 km from the magnificent Bhadra Reservoir across the river Bhadra. Adjacent to the campus,

there is a Bhadra wild life sanctuary.

Nanoscience & Technology is a rapidly progressing multidisciplinary subject

covering all aspects of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering

sciences. The size dependent properties of materials in the nano regime are

being explored and utilized in almost all the existing technologies and/or

devices to enhance their efficiencies.

The course is aimed at training the students in Synthesis, Characterization

and Applications of Nanomaterials in general.

After this course students will be able to find a better placements in both

academic/ research and industries in their own areas with a specialization in

Nanoscience and Technology

M.Tech in Nanosscience & Technology course in the Kuvempu

University campus is running excellently under the efficient supervision of

course coordinator and associated faculty members.

Notable Achievements of the programme

Able to create awareness among the academic and general public in this emerging field of Nanoscience &

nanotechnology.

Able to equip students with relevant knowledge, competence, and creativity to face global challenges in the

upcoming technology to fulfill the societal needs.

Instrumentation & technical support to the researchers who are working in the area of nanotechnology in our

university and also for other institutions.

Collaboration of faculty members with IISc, NAL, BARC, NCL etc.

Through this multidisciplinary course, an opportunity is provided for basic science students to get a degree in

technology (M.Tech.), which is NOT possible in a purely technological Univ.
