From the Programme Leader
At NAMTECH’s School of Manufacturing Technologies, we are nurturing a new generation of engineers equipped to lead India’s journey toward Atmanirbhar Bharat and global manufacturing excellence. As the nation strives to increase the manufacturing sector’s contribution from 16% to 30% of GDP by 2047, the need for industry-ready professionals with expertise in manufacturing, automation, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation has never been more critical.
The Master programme in Smart Manufacturing Technology and Management at NAMTECH offers a comprehensive, hands-on experience that blends cutting-edge Industry 4.0 technologies with strategic management practices to develop future-ready manufacturing leaders. Students gain practical exposure through WorldSkills-aligned Industry 4.0 laboratories, featuring Additive Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Industrial Robotics, Smart Automation, and Digital Twin environments. They learn to work with AI-driven control systems, IoT-enabled machinery, and AR/VR/XR simulation tools — gaining real-time experience in process monitoring, predictive analytics, and digital factory operations.
The Smart Supply Chain and Digital Manufacturing labs immerse learners in data-driven decision-making, logistics optimization, and sustainable production systems, bridging Operational Technologies (OT) with Information Technologies (IT). In addition to technical mastery, the programme integrates core management courses such as Supply Chain Management, Operational Excellence, Quality Control & Reliability Engineering, Project Management, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). These modules empower students to analyze, optimize, and lead complex industrial ecosystems with a focus on efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
Co-designed with world-renowned academic partners such as the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – Germany (Asia Campus) and inspired by MIT’s 2.008 Design for Manufacturing framework, the programme offers a global perspective on product design, prototyping, and scalable manufacturing.
Through immersive, application-driven learning in Industry 4.0 Mini-factories, IIoT, industrial robotics, advanced automation, and AI-enabled cyber-physical systems, students gain the ability to bridge theory with practice. They emerge as future-ready leaders capable of contributing meaningfully to the Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology (MET) ecosystem. Our advanced laboratories in Additive Manufacturing, Precision Machine Tools, Welding 4.0, AR/VR-based Immersive Learning, and AI-powered Intelligent Manufacturing Systems further strengthen experiential learning — empowering learners to design and implement cutting-edge solutions for next-generation industries.
Through live industry projects, capstone assignments, and collaborative innovation challenges, students apply both technological and managerial principles to solve real manufacturing problems. This combination of hands-on technological training and strategic management education nurtures leaders who can envision, design, and execute intelligent manufacturing transformations — driving India’s journey toward a globally competitive, smart, and sustainable industrial future.
The School of Manufacturing Technologies stands as a hub of innovation, where technology, creativity, and purpose converge to redefine modern manufacturing. Our graduates are not only prepared to embrace change — they are equipped to lead it, building intelligent, sustainable, and connected factories that will shape the future of global industry.
Together, we are engineering the future of manufacturing.
