The Department of Technology of Fibres and Textile Processing (formerly known as Textile Chemistry Section) has unique distinction of being one of the two disciplines (other being Chemical Engineering Department), with which this great institution - UICT (formerly UDCT) started in the year 1934. The Department conducts B.Tech. course with an intake capacity of 34. The post graduate courses of M.Tech. and Ph.D. (Tech.) attracts very large number of students and so far more than 2000 graduates and 350 post graduates have passed out from the Department. This Department is the largest one among those of Chemical Technology in UICT with the posts of 3 Professors, 2 Readers, 2 Lecturers and 1 Technical Assistant. The faculty of the Department has good interaction with the industry. A number of industries have been benefited by the technical advice given by the faculty. There have been a number of industrial research projects in which problems of mutual interest are investigated and the students as well as the Department have been benefiting due to this interaction. The faculty is engaged in high quality fundamental as well as applied research and they have got over 1000 publications in Indian and International journals as well as reputed fellowships to the credit from recognized institutions in India and abroad.
