In the present scenario of global competition, Quality and Reliability of products and processes play vital role in design, maintenance, operational safety/security and management of engineering systems. Quality and Reliability Engineering is an inter-disciplinary area and plays an important role at different stages of a product life cycle starting from conceptual design to detailed design, manufacturing, operation, maintenance, and disposal. Quality and Reliability Engineering help to improve designs for operation, safety, easy/faster maintenance, understand the failure process, identify the root causes, suggests better fault diagnosis and maintenance, and quantifies the product performance over a period of its mission life.
Subir Chowdhury School of quality and Reliability is established by upgrading the Reliability Engineering Centre (since 1983). It is the first and unique School of excellence in India offering Masters’ and research programs in the areas of Quality and Reliability Engineering. The School focuses on overall improvement in engineering skills of students by exposing them theory and practices in Quality and Reliability Engineering through its academic programs, involving students in research and consultancy projects for Industries and R & D organizations, (viz., BARC, DRDO, NPCIL, L&T, AERB, Vodaphone, Indian Army, ECIL, ISRO, Crompton & Greaves, Robert Bosch, GE, Covedien, TATA Motors, Secure Meters, Indian Railways, Bosch etc.), exposing students to life testing/ prediction/ estimation/ demonstration of engineering items, and encouraging for extracurricular activities etc.
There is great scope and demand of Quality and Reliability engineers with B.E. / B. Tech. in Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, Chemical engineering, Computer Science, Production, Manufacturing, and other associated areas. Students of the School are well placed in MNC’s and reputed organizations like BARC, Bloom Energy, Crompton & Greaves, DRDO, Eaton, ENTITY SOLUTIONS, GE, GM, Goodrich, HCL, Honeywell, IBM, INFOSYS, ISRO, LM Glass Fiber, Maruti Udhyog, NPCIL, SATYAM, TATA Steel, TCS, Time Tooth, WIPRO, TVS, Bosch and many more.

Subir Chowdhury School of Quality and Reliability welcomes you all. Quality and Reliability Engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of study offered by our School currently located in old IIT building. We have faculty members specialized in quality and reliability engineering with basic degrees in different engineering disciplines. Similarly, our intake students are also from different engineering disciplines. In this unique School, our team of faculty members will be too happy to impart you the best standard of education in quality and reliability engineering that is available in our country. Infact, the standard of our programme is one of the best in this area and comparable with any international university offering similar specializations. The course curricula of this study are carefully designed to include latest developments, tools, techniques, as well as providing industrial exposure to our students. We offer post graduate degrees such as MTech, MS and PhD. Apart from these, the School also offers micro-specializations in System Reliability Engineering, and Quality Engineering to the UG students of the Institute. EDP/MDP courses are regularly offered to working professionals in industry and R&D organizations. The School is also actively involved in industrial consultancy and research. All our students get good placement in various organizations and the feedback we receive from them is very encouraging.
