Overview
- ANUGYAN, which launched on Monday, August 3, began its inaugural three‑month fully residential orientation course at the IIT‑Hyderabad campus with a 25‑member cohort.
- The 24‑module curriculum covers reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, radiation shielding, Small Modular Reactors, nuclear safety, engineering design, AERB regulatory compliance, and simulator‑based training.
- Participants who complete the programme will receive a joint certification from IIT‑Hyderabad and Crimson Energy Experts and the course fee is reported at ₹3.5 lakh excluding accommodation.
- The course is aimed at engineering graduates, working professionals, PSU executives, EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers to plug immediate workforce gaps in India’s civil nuclear supply chain.
- IIT‑H faculty have indicated plans to expand the short course into a year‑long postgraduate diploma or a two‑year M.Tech to create sustained capacity as India increases private sector participation in nuclear projects.
