Symbiosis Skills and Professional University, Pune, has officially launched a new 4-year engineering program – B.Tech in Defence Technology – starting from the upcoming academic year (2025-26).
The curriculum for B.Tech in Defence Technology has been developed by leading experts from India’s defence industry. The subjects included in this course are aligned with job roles available in the defence sector. With a structure comprising 70% practical training and 30% theory, students will gain hands-on experience that prepares them for real-world industry work.
To support this practical approach, a “Smart Centre of Excellence – Manufacturing Lab” has been established at the university’s campus in Darawali, Pune. Additionally, students will also get internship opportunities in both private and government defence companies. Students who have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are eligible to apply for this program.
On this occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Symbiosis Skills and Professional University (SSPU) and two companies – Vasundhara Geo Technologies, represented by its Director Advait Kulkarni, and DSA Electro and Design, represented by its Director Ashok Subedar.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Swati Mujumdar, Pro-Chancellor of SSPU, said: “India is progressing steadily in line with the visions of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. The recent Operation Sindhur has underscored the growing importance of the defence sector. The newly launched 4-year B.Tech in Defence Technology program, starting from the academic year 2025–26, will offer students a new direction in their careers.”
Manish Bhardwaj said, “Defence technology is extremely important for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India). Just as ‘Make in India’ plays a vital role in nation-building, the Sindhur incident has highlighted the importance of the armed forces and technology for everyone.”
