- It assures stakeholders (students, parents, employers) that the program adheres to globally benchmarked standards.
Post Graduate Programs:
Master of Technology (M. Tech.) in Civil Engineering:
Department of Civil Engineering offers a postgraduate (M. Tech.) program in “Structural Engineering” Specialization.
The department attaches a lot of importance to its Master’s students providing them ample opportunities towards research and development. The M. Tech. program comprises of core courses, specialization-related electives, Value Added courses, and supervised research exposition.
D. in Civil Engineering:
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Civil Engineering is a research-intensive program aimed at advancing knowledge and solving complex engineering problems. It prepares scholars to seek new knowledge, and turn ideas into reality.

Additional Programs:
B.Tech. Minor Degree Program:
Our department extends the opportunity for students with a keen interest in exploring areas beyond Civil Engineering to choose additional courses in minor degree specialization groups offered by departments other than our department.
For example, if a Civil Engineering student selects subjects from Computer Science Engineering under this scheme, he/she will get a “Major Degree in Civil Engineering with a Minor Degree in Computer Science Engineering”.
Students can also opt for industry-relevant tracks of any branch to obtain the Minor Degree. For example, a B.Tech. Civil Engineering student can opt for industry-relevant tracks like Data Mining track, IOT track, Machine Learning track, etc.
A student shall earn additional 20 credits in the specified area to be eligible for the award of B.Tech. degree with Minor. This is in addition to the credits essential for obtaining the Under Graduate Degree in Major Discipline (160 credits).
B.Tech. Honors Degree Program:
The students in our department have the opportunity to enrol in the Honors Programme offered by the same department/discipline. Students can register for the Honors program at the start of the 4th semester, choosing additional and advanced courses from our Civil Department. Upon successful completion of the selected advanced courses within our department, a student will be conferred with a “B.Tech. (Honors Degree)” in Civil Engineering.
In addition to fulfilling all the requisites of a Regular B.Tech. Programme, a student shall earn 20 additional credits to be eligible for the award of B.Tech. (Honors) degree. This is in addition to the credits essential for obtaining the Under Graduate Degree in Major Discipline (i.e. 160 credits).
