Rubber is used as a raw material for manufacturing various products. In the current scenario rubber is used immensely for various purposes. The technology which deals with the production of rubber products is known as rubber technology. It is the branch of engineering which studies different process of transferring the raw materials into a finished rubber product. Rubber technology is not much popular in India, but there are institutions which offer different courses for students to seek career opportunities in rubber technology. There are many institutions and universities which conduct rubber technology entrance exams every year.
