The objectives of the program are to train workforce catering to needs of 21st century manufacturing industries which are increasing becoming smart and connected. The curriculum for the program has been carefully crafted by conducting many brainstorming sessions with Industry and Academic leaders in Manufacturing. The courses for the program are interdisciplinary in nature. Smart Manufacturing is amalgamation Information technology, Networks, Data Science and sensors for adaptive control and managing the manufacturing enterprises.

Now, if you wish to take this branch solely for placement purposes, it might not be a good idea because according to peer reviews there are no many placements and no official statistics have been provided. Furthermore, this branch is only in selective IIITs, i.e. two and will have smaller knowledge base and alumni connection which may not work for placement drives.

If you have a genuine interest towards the field then you should surely go for it

Good Luck
