In 1966 both the departments jointly started offering Advanced Diploma Courses (ADC) to provide trained manpower in the primary metal processing industries. In1985, M. Tech program was introduced with the specialization of foundry and forge technology. To cater the industrial demand of graduate engineering with expertise in manufacturing domain, after the long legacy in foundry and forge technology, the academic merger of both the department happened in 2022, and started offering B. Tech. course in Production and Industrial Engineering with honours in Foundry and Forge Technology. 
The department offers following course to provide technically qualified human resources to Foundry, Forge, allied metal shaping and manufacturing industries:
