Program
The department of Civil Engineering offers the following programs:
B. Tech Civil Engineering:? B.Tech in Civil Engineering involves the application of mathematics, science and technology in planning, designing, construction and management of buildings and infrastructures. The course imparts knowledge in the areas of Building Technology, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Surveying, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Geoinformatics, and so forth. Minor specialisations in the aforementioned subjects of Civil Engineering, as well as other fields such as Material Science, Business Management, and Computational Mathematics, are available through the curriculum. Students can also choose from a variety of online courses offered by reputable foreign universities and other online platforms.
M.Tech in Structural Engineering:?After completing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, an engineer can pursue a master's degree in Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering. The two-year curriculum covers advanced design and safety techniques for residential and industrial infrastructures. The program's curriculum is learner-centered, industry-focused, and research-driven, allowing engineers plenty of opportunities to advance their careers or pursue research after graduation.
M.Tech in Construction Engineering and Management:?The M.Tech. in Construction Engineering and Management offered in the Department of Civil Engineering is a two-year postgraduate program that teaches students the most current concepts in construction planning, scheduling, management, and safety. The syllabi emphasise developing the managerial abilities needed in the construction business and being research-driven. After completing the degree, the specialist will have numerous chances to work in government departments, the public and private sectors, academia, and research.
