Students have to undertake a research project in their final semester as part of their degree requirement. This is a written thesis and evaluates the student’s capacity and maturity in the field of textile science. The area of study, chosen under faculty guidance can be in any textile-related area of interest. A faculty member assigned to oversee the research project reviews the written document periodically.

Students graduating in Textile Science have a firm base and are able to apply their knowledge to solving problems in textile materials involving both chemical and physical principles. The students concentrate on conception, design, construction and management of complete systems of labour, machinery and processes for the most efficient production of textiles or related chemicals.
