Background
The field of materials and metallurgical engineering is projected to be of enormous importance for the progress and growth of the society. Young practitioners of this field, therefore, require to be imparted with better skill-sets. In order to fulfill this objective, Jamshedpur Chapter of the Indian Institution of Metals (IIM), National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur, Tata Steel Limited and CSIR-National Metallurgical Laboratory of India have been working together to nurture and mentor young metallurgists and inspire them to flourish into dedicated professionals. This Students' Seminar has been initiated to provide a common platform for promising and aspiring metallurgists to interact with the pool of experts from industries, R&D centers and academic institutes. The student participants of this event will get an opportunity to update their current knowledgebase, and share their academic achievements, innovative thoughts and new ideas in the field of metallurgy and materials technology.
About the Seminar
Since its inception in the year 2012, the seminar "Behind the Teacher's Desk (BTTD)“ has blossomed into one of the most sought-after event among the student fraternity. BTTD has held annually at the CSIR-NML Jamshedpur, and attracts many students from across the world. The event provides a launch pad to the students for showcasing their novel ideas/ innovations and interacting with scientists, eminent metallurgists, engineers and entrepreneurs so as to develop new skills in the field of metallurgy and materials technology. Like last year, this year also we have organized the seminar in a virtual platform as eBTTD202i.
