Academics & Program
Undergraduate
The B.Tech. programme consists of eight semesters and is a professional engineering degree affiliated with and awarded after completion of 4-years of extensive engineering study and research. Civil engineering students will learn about basic engineering techniques, as other engineering students, during first-year courses, which include Engineering Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Mechanical Activities (Welding, Fitting, Carpentry, etc.), Engineering Graphics and Design, Environmental Science and Basic Programming. From the second year, they are exposed to core civil engineering subjects like structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, earthquake engineering, and costing & estimation, to mention a few. This programme is one of the most popular core and demanded branches, not only in India but also around the world.
Postgraduate
The M.Tech. programme in Civil Engineering provides advanced knowledge in various areas of Civil engineering. The programme is designed so that a student can complete it based on advanced coursework alone. However, the students are given the option to concentrate on a problem by substituting some of the courses with equivalent project work. The standard M. Tech. is a two-year programme in which the first two semesters are spent doing courses. A one-year project commences at the end of the 2nd semester. The project typically has a strong research component. The department presently fosters five M. Tech. programmes.
Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph. D.)
The PhD programme is a post-graduate programme focused on original research that can lead to publications in premier conferences or journals. It is the highest level of degree that a student can achieve. Students are required to do some courses in the first few semesters (course work required can vary based on a student’s background) but soon move on completely to research. Many Ph.D. scholars teach B.Tech. tutorial classes and many labs as teaching assistants. After completing the programme, the scholar is capable of understanding significant particulars of civil engineering.
