Otherwise, check out -

Dept of Mechanical Engg, IIT Bombay - http://www.me.iitb.ac.in/

The Mechanical Engineering Dept at IIT Bombay is one of the largest in terms of faculty, students, and activities, continues to lead and expand its activities in various directions. The Department is known for research and projects in robotics, fluid dynamics, heat pumps, cryogenics, nuclear engineering, fracture mechanics, . . .

http://mech.iitm.ac.in/people/faculty/saritdas.html - Dr. Sarit Kumar Das apparently has experience in nuclear engineering.

IIT Kanpur (http://www.iitk.ac.in/) offers advanced Interdisciplinary Degree Programs

M.Tech
Materials Science Programme
Nuclear Engineering & Technology

Ph.D
Materials Science Programme
Nuclear Engineering & Technology

But it is not clear about undergraduate programs. Possibly, one would obtain bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering - http://www.iitk.ac.in/mech/.
