CECRI B.Tech Placement Cell

CECRI (Central Electro Chemical Research Institute), Karaikudi, established in 1953, is one of the pioneering research institutions in the field of electrochemical science and technology. Governed by CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), and guided by a team of highly qualified and internationally acclaimed scientists, it has evolved as the largest institute in Asia focusing on the electrochemical sciences. The present R&D thrust is on Fuel cells, Batteries, Corrosion science and engineering, Electrochemical instrumentation, Electrochemical materials science, Electrochemical pollution control, Electrodics and Electrocatalysis, Electrometallurgy, Functional materials, Industrial metal finishing, Electroplating, and Nanoscale electrochemistry, to quote a very few from a large spectrum of ongoing activities. CECRI has been hosting a prestigious four-year, eight-semester B.Tech program in Chemical and Electrochemical Engineering since 1988, with the goal of initiating scientific temper in the bright, evolving generation of India. The admission for this course is through the unified single-window admission system of Anna University. The course is a unique and judicious blend of Chemical and Electrochemical Engineering. The curriculum includes chemical engineering subjects like Process calculations, Chemical engineering thermodynamics, Fluid mechanics, Equipment design, Heat and Mass Transfer, and Electrochemical engineering subjects like Electrodics & Electrocatalysis, Electrochemical reaction engineering, Corrosion science & engineering, Electrochemical energy storage systems, Electroplating, etc. The students also get an opportunity to work hands-on during the practicals. An aspect of its singularity is that the course is conducted by eminent scientists and engineers, who are personally involved in various research and developmental activities of Electrochemical Science and Technology.
