Textile Engineering and Technology deals with the study of various aspects of textiles from Fibre manufacturing, Spinning, Weaving, Textile Processing including sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing printing and finishing which are application oriented process. It also includes garment manufacturing, processing and Fashion designing and technology. Apart from traditional apparel textiles, this branch of technology has also in various other fields such as industrial textiles, agrotextiles, protective textiles, sporttextiles, mobiletextiles, etc. The disciple involves extensive study of chemical and physical principles, which is then utilized for the detailed study and analysis of the behavior of polymers involved in the formation of textile fiber. Apart from the above mentioned, there is also branches such as textile chemicals and textile machineries.

It is said that 'as long as child is born naked there is always scope for textiles'. Textile graduation ensures a bright and non-recessional carrier of the students as neither demand nor the supply of the textiles is ever going to be defoliated. In terms of volume, the textile industry is the third largest, worldwide, after tourism and information technology.

Following is the list of colleges in India. We have tried to give Information on Textile institutes in India so that it will be easy for student to choose from the various available institutes active in Textile Education.

Inclusive of the first year students of 2007 entry, a total of 226 UG students are currently enrolled in this department in addition to 65 PG and 23 Ph.D. students. For the UG program the department offers 21 core and 26 elective courses over the two semesters while at the PG level 35 courses are on offer.

Programmes Offered

Undergraduate
Course offered: 4 years (8 semesters) B.Tech. Programme.
The Department offers an undergraduate programme leading to B.Tech degree in Textile Technology. During the first two semesters, the students take courses in basic sciences, engineering arts and sciences, and humanities and social sciences which are common to students of all disciplines. During the next two semesters, the students take a set of departmental core subjects in Textile Technology. From the fifth semester onwards they opt for departmental elective courses. In the new curriculum, there is increased emphasis on design, product and process development activities. In the final year, students are required to work on a project under the supervision of a faculty member. They also undergo practical training in an industrial establishment as part of their overall engineering education.

Postgraduate
Course offered: 2 yr. (4 semesters) M.Tech. Programme.
Two M.Tech programmes - in Textile Engineering and Fibre Science & Technology are offered. The Textile Engineering students are trained for mechanical processing of textile materials, while the Fibre Science and Technology students are trained for the manmade fibre industry as also the chemical processing of textile materials. The students are especially suitable for technical services; research and development work in industry.

Doctorate
Course offered: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programme.
Current areas of Doctoral and post-doctoral research include study of structure and properties of fibres and fibrous materials, analysis and design of yarn and fabric formation systems, mechanics of production processes, comfort properties of textiles, optimization and mechanism of dyeing and preparatory processes, eco friendly processing, micro encapsulation, antimicrobial finishes, nanotechnology applications, plasma treatment, design of technical textiles, smart and innovative textiles, medical textiles, polymer composites and apparel engineering.

Facilities
The Department provides ample opportunities for research in various areas ( hyperlink to areas of research interest). Extensive facilities are available in every branch of Textile Technology. The four major academic groups in the department are:
• Fibre Science and Technology
