Associate ship of National Sugar Institute in Sugar Technology A.N.S.I (Sugar Tech) is one among the courses offered at National Sugar Institute, Kanpur. Science graduates in any streams like Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as well as chemical engineering are eligible to apply for this course. The admission for this course will be based on written examination followed by a counseling process.

Eligibility Criteria for A.N.S.I (Sugar Tech) in NSI

B.Sc graduates normally become eligible to apply for this course. It is essential to complete graduation in any of the subject stream like Physics, Mathematics or Chemistry. On the other hand, graduates in chemical engineering can also apply for this program. The higher age limit specified to apply for this course is 35 years. Final year graduates also become eligible to apply for this course provided they are able to complete the course before the starting time of admission of ANSI (ST) course.
