About the Programme

India is one of the emerging Aerospace and Defence hubs in the world, significantly contributed by Make-in-India initiatives and well-established government sectors across the nation such as ISRO, DRDO Laboratories, National Aerospace Laboratory etc. Two recent Defence Industrial Corridors are being set up in India, one in Uttar Pradesh and another in Tamil Nadu to catalyze indigenous production of defence and aerospace-related items. A good number of foreign based large-scale aerospace and defence industries have taken initiatives in establishing their production units in India, as joint ventures with Indian companies. The combined efforts of the government and private Industries will help to achieve India’s goal of self-reliance in defence, generating thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.

Introduction of M.Tech. in Defence Technology programme is a joint initiative by AICTE and DRDO through Directorate of Futuristic Technology Management (DFTM), in support of Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan or Self-reliant India. It is a unique programme offered in support of DRDO Laboratories for the benefit of aspiring engineers, creating better career opportunities in DRDOs, Public Sector Units (PSUs) and private Defence and Aerospace industries.
