This book gives comprehensive information on the structure, curriculum and syllabus of
various Post Graduate programmes. The Board of Studies and Academic Council Continuously
monitor these Courses and makes appropriate modifications / improvements from time to time.
In order to keep pace with the rapid developments in science and technology and also to
keep in view the requirements of the nation and the aspirations of students, it is imperative that
the academic programmes of the institute are reviewed continuously.
The academic system is semester based and hence the students are required to follow
certain procedures and meet certain academic requirement each semester. The academic
performance is monitored by Postgraduate Graduate Committee (PGC), which also reviews
status of individuals after reviewing their performance.
The advisory system plays a very important role in a flexible curriculum of the type
offered under the various programmes of the Institute. The choice of courses being very wide
and considerable flexibility in the programme being its characteristic feature, students normally
need guidance to formulate a meaningful and well knit programme for each of them.

M. Tech. Aerospace Engineering (Guided Missiles)

Brief Description: The department had been involved in conducting post-graduate programme
in Aerospace Engineering with emphasis on Guided Missiles Technology. The programme is
also known as the Special Weapon Course (SWC) and consists of courses in all the areas related
to guided missiles, practicals, seminars, and dissertation work. The curriculum of the programme
was formulated to meet the needs of the three services, Defence R&D Organization, DGOF,
MSQA, CGQA and Public Sector Undertakings dealing with missiles and related technologies.

9
From academic year 2009-10 onwards, the programme was also opened up for civilian GATE
qualified students with intake of 05 seats.
As stated earlier, the present curriculum has more emphasis on missile technology. In
order to cater the needs of diverse aerospace activities DRDO is involved in, it is proposed to
widen the scope of the programme and to this end, a new curriculum is proposed here with an
aim to implement the new programme from the academic year 2012-13.

Eligibility: B.E./B. Tech. degree in Aerospace/ Aeronautical/ Mechanical/ Chemical/ Electrical/
Electronics/ Electronics and Communication / Instrumentation from recognized university /
Graduate of Aeronautical Society of India.

Organization: The programme will be of four-semester duration and is fully residential. There
are 16 courses and one laboratory/seminar offered in four semester duration. In each of these
semesters, there will be a mid-semester examination and an end semester examination for every
course. The second year of the programme will be primarily devoted for dissertation work. In
the second year, half yearly evaluation of the dissertation work would take place at the end of the
third semester. At the end of the final semester, the student submits a thesis and makes a
presentation on his/her dissertational work, which will be evaluated by a committee of
examiners. The details of the courses offered under the programme are given below:

DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED CHEMISTRY

The department of Applied Chemistry started in 1986 with the aim to impart
education and training to DRDO work force in the area of high energy materials and
propellants. Over the years Department has grown up to cater to the need of DRDO and
civilian students in order to bring the DRDO achievements closer to our society. The
Departments aim is to contribute to our understanding of the chemical world through
excellence in observational, theoretical and experimental science and to extend quantitative
and other appropriate methodologies to address problems in the fields of applied chemical
science. In Applied Chemistry Department, we are endowed with faculties who are
dedicated teachers and distinguished researchers who carry out cutting-edge research in all
modern areas of Applied Chemistry, as well as in inter-disciplinary areas like nanoscience
and technology, high energy materials, polymer science and technology, energy and
environment, solar cells etc.

The first PhD of DIAT (DU) was from the Department of Applied Chemistry and
currently the department is guiding the highest number of PhD scholars in DIAT. In
addition to PhD, there are numbers of M. Tech. students carrying their PG education. We
provide a vibrant and creative learning environment for our students and researchers. We
also participate extensively in R&D for various DRDO labs and industries. The
Department has highest number of research publications. In recent times, Applied
Chemistry Department has been among the highest revenue generation departments
through grant-in-projects and customized courses. At present there are eight sponsored
projects running in the department.

M.Tech. Computer Science & Engineering
(Cyber Security)

Brief Description: Communication networks and information systems have become an essential
factor in economic, social development and almost in every facet of our daily lives. Information
systems are vulnerable to one or more types of cyber attacks. The security of communication
networks and information systems and their availability in particular, is therefore of increasing
concern. In general, cyber security threats are increasing rapidly, the incidents range from
defaced websites to theft of large volumes of intellectual property and money, to even Internet
crimes. Cyber security is now a prominent field of study. Professionals who are trained in this
field are highly regarded and contribute to strengthening the social, political and financial fabric
of modern society.
The domain of cyber security refers to the collection of tools, policies, security concepts,
guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and
technologies that can be used to protect the cyber environment, organization and users assets.
To survive in an Information Centric Warfare scenario, the tools and techniques of cyber security
will provide mechanisms to safeguard the critical systems against related threats & attacks.
In this context, new information centric complex systems require highly skilled
manpower, not only to research, design, develop and test reliable secure systems but also to:
install, deploy, utilize & maintain them throughout their lifespan.
The programme aims at developing Human Resource in the field of Cyber Security with
a thrust on defence related problems. The present programme is conceived to understand,
assimilate & use the advanced technologies to design and develop secure systems, comprehend
different types of cyber attacks, methods and technologies to develop secure IT infrastructure.
Advanced technologies from four different domains such as Network security,
Cryptography, Digital Forensic and Trusted Computing techniques have been selected. The
course also introduces the concepts of Network Centric Warfare and Information Security
Management Systems. After completing this course, students are expected to understand and
practice the essential concepts related to Information Security, Incident Responses, Digital
Evidence Analysis, Cyber Attacks, Design and Development of secure systems.

33
Eligibility: BE/B.Tech. in Computer Science/Electronics/Electrical/Communication/Information
Technology or M.Sc. in Computer Science.

Organization: Programme curriculum has been designed and reviewed by panel of experts
chosen from various DRDO labs and leading academic institutions. Each of the subjects is
delivered by subject experts and consists of 42 hours of interaction. During the course,
continuous assessment of student would be carried out.
Each theory course has a mid-semester exam (30 marks), internal assessment (20 marks) and
final examination (50 marks). During the Laboratory course, students are expected to carry out
mini project/assignments given by the instructor. The third and fourth semester has a major
component of dissertation work, where students are closely supervised by guide. Students are
expected to submit their thesis and present their work to be evaluated by panel at the end of
fourth semester.
