Food & Processing Technology

The branch of Food Processing Technology is one of the most emergeing branches in the field of Engineering. This institute is the only institute amonst all the Polytechnics in the state to offer this course. The intake of each batch is 60. The main aim behind running this branch is to bring a wave of food processing sector in the northeastern states. 

Vision

• To create an environment where students can develop their sound knowledge and understanding of the current theories, concepts, laboratory practices, human resources, and technological skills to technically fit them for higher education as well as for the rapidly growing food processing sector.

Mission

• To provide education to the students in food processing, technology, and engineering aspects of food.
• To provide relevant education to the students in food processing and allied sciences.
• Educating students from a diverse background in the fundamental skills, necessary contemporary knowledge, and practice of food technology in order to prepare them for satisfying careers in the food industries and continue for higher degrees in food technology or related disciplines.
• Developing a strong human resource capacity for the processing industry.
• To offer continual training to industry to enhance their skill and be updated on global trends in food processing and engineering.
• To educate students to play an active role in the industry, satisfying present and future needs of a global society through the development and implementation of revolutionary technologies.

Currently this department is offering a three years full time Diploma in Food Processing Technology
