to diverse applications.

The Department of Materials Science and

Engineering (MSE), earlier known as
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT
Kanpur was established in 1960. From its
inception, it has had strong impact in providing
knowledgeable manpower to meet the nation’s
demand in traditional metallurgy.
