"Industrial Engineers || Growth Catalysts of Every Industry"

Engineers, by nature, are Efficiency oriented. Industrial Engineers add the element of Effectiveness for overall Operational Excellence. Industrial Engineers often termed as the “People and Systems” Engineers; they are the change agent of any business. They establish the most effective ways to utilize limited resources available and craft the methods to provide most effective products/services to the customers.

Industrial Engineering (IE) deals with the creation and management of systems that integrate all the factors of production, such as, men, materials, machines, money and energy in productive ways. It amalgamates specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering to specify predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems for the overall benefit of the industries. Industrial Engineering education offers the best of both worlds: an education in both engineering and business.

In the era of globalization and liberalization, for global competitiveness, industries need improvements in both, productivity and profitability. Overall operational excellence is the key requirement of any business to have global competence and sustained growth. Industrial Engineering focuses on quality and productivity improvement and thus helping any business to gain global competitive advantage. Industrial Engineers design and implement solutions for sustainable growth in almost all industrial sectors.

Post Graduation in IE can be taken up by engineering degree holders in Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Automobile Engineering as well as Mechatronics Engineering.
