Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), the pioneer of industrial engineering education in India with a legacy of over 40 years of service to the nation has continually reinvented itself in terms of academic curriculum, teaching pedagogy and research infrastructure to keep pace with the developments in the global scenario and needs and requirements of the nation in general and the industries and service organizations in particular.
ISE provides an excellent opportunity to the students to build their career in an inter-disciplinary area of Industrial and systems engineering with a strong focus on real life industry problems. The courses are designed with a strong analytical and process orientation for the design, procurement, operations & production, delivery and recovery of goods and services. Students are exposed to the complete spectrum of analytical tools for Decision Analysis, Performance Improvements and Process Transformations including analytics, OR, statistics, multivariate data analysis, simulation and soft computing. Students receive hands-on experience on various latest software packages like CPLEX, SAS, R, MATLAB, MS-Project, Arena, DELMIA, QUEST and Mathematica, and technologies like Analytics, Virtual-Reality and ICT. Graduates are recruited by the leading multinational companies in analytics, finance, insurance, logistics, manufacturing, IT and capitalists firms. We are consulting and carrying out sponsored projects in collaboration with leading service & manufacturing industries, and several leading foreign universities. We provide the most conducive environment of learning by linking theoretical concepts with its practical applications to takeup challenging real life problems.
ISE has illustrious alumni who continually support for betterment of the department.
