Academics

The Department of Civil Engineering offers a broad-based undergraduate (UG) B. Tech. degree programme. These UG students also have the opportunity to convert into dual-degree (B. Tech.-M. Tech.) programme in the available specialisations. The department offers M. Tech. and Ph. D. programmes in the following specializations:

 

  • Structural Engineering  - (Graduate Programs Established on 1958)
  • Water Resources Engineering  -  (Graduate Programs Established on 1958)
  • Geotechnical Engineering  -  (Graduate Programs Established on 1959)
  • Remote Sensing  -  (Graduate Programs Established on 1980)
  • Transportation Systems Engineering  -   (Graduate Programs Established on 1988)
  • Ocean Engineering  -   (Graduate Programs Established on 1980)
  • Construction Technology and Management   -  (Graduate Programs Established on 2016)

 

In each academic year, about 175 students are admitted to the B. Tech degree programme. Total B.Tech students on roll is about 600. The intake into M. Tech. programmes is about 93. Every year about 35 students are admitted to our doctoral (PhD) programme.

M.Tech. Courses of study

The department offers M. Tech. and Ph.D. programmes in the following specializations:


The department admits about 75 M.Tech. students every year into the above specializations. Each specialization has well-equipped laboratories with excellent advanced instrumentation and equipment for research and teaching. State-of-art computational facilities are available in the departmental computational laboratory which is equipped with new servers, workstations and personal computers. All the computers in the department are networked with the institute Local Area Network and are connected to internet through IIT Bombay’s proxy servers.

The students of the Department use the Central Library that has more than 440,000 books and volumes, and subscribes more than 1800 current journals in Science, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences. Library cataloguing is fully computerized. The Department also has a library where all B. Tech., M. Tech. and Ph.D. Theses completed at the Department are available for reference. The Department has about 50 faculty members and about 30 other technical and non-technical staff.

The department disseminates knowledge to working professionals regularly by organizing national and international conferences and workshops. Continuing Education Programme courses are also conducted by the Department on a regular basis. The faculty publishes extensively from the research and consultancy work carried out in the Department. More than 200 research papers are published every year by the faculty in all areas of Civil Engineering in the national and international journals and conferences.

The M.Tech. Programme spans for a period of two academic years. The rules and regulations pertaining to M.Tech Programme at IIT Bombay can be found here.

M.Tech. Courses of study

The Department of Civil Engineering admits 117 students in undergraduate programme. The department offers dual-degree programmes in the following six areas of specialization:


Coursework for dual degree students

The B.Tech. and M.Tech. Dual Degree Programme involves five full years of coursework that should be completed by the student to earn required credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student to graduate from Civil Engineering is 395 credits.

The rules and regulations pertaining to B.Tech and Dual Degree Programme at IIT Bombay can be found here.

For all the specializations, B.Tech. students at the end of Semester VI can opt to pursue a M.Tech. in the specialization of interest. Hence, the coursework from semester I to VI will remain the same as B.Tech. coursework for all dual degree students. The coursework for semesters VII to X will depend on the specialization chosen for the M.Tech.degree.

Courses for PhD Students

The courses offered to M.Tech. students under various specializations are also open to the PhD students where the courses are relevant to their research area, subject to the rules as prescribed by IIT Bombay. The rules pertaining to PhD programme at IIT Bombay can be found here.


Coursework requirements in Civil Engineering

The course requirement for a PhD student with an M.Tech. Degree is 3 M.Tech level courses and one seminar. Thus the minimum credit requirement in general would be 22. However, the same number can be reduced to 16 credits if the candidate has undergone relevant courses. Every PhD student must maintain a minimum grade requirement from the courses. In addition to the course work requirement, the students need to take a two-stage qualifier examination which will lead to confirmation of the student’s PhD registration.


Qualifier requirements in Civil Engineering

For the confirmation of a candidate’s PhD registration, a two-stage qualifier examination in held.

Stage-1: The “credit seminar” will form Stage-1. This should be completed before the end of the first semester of joining. The credit seminar should be oriented towards formulation of the research proposal. It should include identification of the research topic and its importance, literature review and appraisal of current state-of-the-art, gaps in the area and motivation of the proposed work.

Stage 2: A “PhD Qualifier Examination” will form the Stage-2 of the qualifier. This should be conducted before the end of the second semester of joining. This PhD Qualifier Examination will be an oral examination conducted for evaluation of candidate’s aptitude towards carrying out the proposed research work. The knowledge of the candidate in the basic subject areas of the proposed research will be tested by the examiners in the PhD Qualifier Examination


Qualifier requirements for students converting from M.Tech. prgram to PhD

M.Tech students with minimum level of grades in the coursers can convert to M.Tech – PhD dual degree program. In such cases, the students have to only clear the stage-2 of the qualifier examination for the confirmation of their registration. The student has to appear for PhD qualifier examination within six months of the date of conversion from M.Tech. to PhD and should complete it within a maximum period of nine months from the date of conversion
