B.Tech in Leather Technology is an undergraduate engineering course that combines chemistry, material science, process engineering and manufacturing to convert hides/skins into finished leather and value-added products. The curriculum typically includes pre-tanning, tanning and post-tanning operations, leather chemicals, polymer and surface coating technologies, finishing, testing and evaluation, effluent treatment and environmental management, and production/industrial management. Students also learn footwear and leather goods manufacturing fundamentals, CAD/pattern making basics in many institutes, and standards related to quality, safety and export compliance. Practical learning is central through unit operations labs, leather testing labs, pilot plant exposure, industrial visits, summer internships and a final-year project. India has a strong leather and footwear ecosystem with significant export-oriented clusters, so the programme is aligned to industry needs such as process optimisation, defect reduction, sustainability, and product development. Graduates are prepared for roles in tanneries, leather goods and footwear factories, chemical suppliers, testing labs, and compliance/ESG teams.
