The Greenko School of Sustainability at IIT Hyderabad offers three distinct inter-disciplinary two-year M.Tech programs in Sustainable Engineering, Energy Science and Technology, and E-Waste Resource Engineering and Management. These programs are crafted to meet the specific sustainability aspects of climate, energy, and e-waste management. These programs include courses on climate change mitigation, carbon capture, storage, and utilization, renewable energy, energy storage, bio-energy, environmental impact, electrochemical energy storage, waste management, process metallurgy, e-waste recycling methods, supply chain management, circular economy, policies, etc. For detailed information on admissions, Download the brochure.
Sustainable EngineeringThis program offers three distinct but inclusive specializations as below:
1. Sustainable Infrastructure
2. Sustainable Energy Systems
3. Sustainable Industrial Processes
Students select one of these areas of specialisation during their second semester, contingent upon their bachelor's degree and personal preferences. Nevertheless, the degree will be referred to as M.Tech in Sustainable Engineering.
