Class- 01 Bachelor of Science Applied Science Energy BSCAEY (BEY-012)(05.01.2026)

Bachelor of Science Applied Science Energy BSCAEY (06.01.2026)
INTRODUCTION:
======================
The applications of Applied Science in the field of energy is changing the energy industry fast, creating a more diverse sector with huge opportunities for new technologies, new businesses and new ideas. As the world is confronted between twin crisis of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation from Decades, it becomes very essential to identify new and renewable energy resources and related appropriate technologies as an alternative to the fossil fuels. It has become the global challenge to develop renewable energy resources along with the efficient,
economical and environment friendly conversion process. To overcome this twin crisis the energy conservation is equally important. Keeping this in view the B.Sc.(Applied Science – Energy) has been designed and developed. It provides in-depth knowledge of all major energy sources along with the conversion process and their applications and gives the opportunity to specialize in various areas along with adequate knowledge and skills in the area of Statistics and Mathematics. Detailed expertise will be offered in industrial and applied statistics as well as Thermal
Energy Systems, Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Biomass, Geothermal, Tidal and Wave energy, Hydrogen & Fuel cells etc along with the energy conversion and conservation techniques. This 120 credits multidisciplinary program will be modular in nature with exit options as Certificate, Diploma and Degree in the relevant areas along with Major in
Energy and Minor in Statistics after completion of different requisite number of credits in specified courses.
