Ceramic engineering involves working with inorganic, non-metallic materials using heat or chemical reactions. To pursue the field, one needs a science background and can obtain a bachelor's or master's degree. Ceramic engineers develop new ceramic products and materials while optimizing production processes. They work to design components for applications like electronics, nuclear energy, and pollution control. Average salaries for ceramic engineers range from approximately 998,000 INR per year for project managers to 1.6 million INR annually for senior project managers. Notable institutes for ceramic engineering in India include schools in Varanasi, Kolkata, Vishakhapatnam, and Rourkela.
