POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM

In order to satisfy the increasing demand for relevant advanced technological education, the department offers MSc degree courses in Structural Engineering, Water Resources, Transportation Engineering, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Environmental Engineering and irrigation engineering covering the most recent developments. The course contains a balance of analytical and professional aspects and is designed to suit the needs of fresh graduates and those with professional experience. The tremendous potential for the development of water resources requires the services of engineers trained to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain engineering works for the control and utilization of these resources. Most of the postgraduate students belong to the construction industry and act as a bridge for university-industry linkage that makes research in the department to be practical and useful for the country. The introduction of PhD program has further enriched the research activities in the department.

The department has initiated PhD program in Civil Engineering from 2001 session. 22 students have been awarded PhD Degrees in various fields. Presently about 69 PhD scholars are pursuing their PhD Research Work.
The Master of Science Program is offered in the following specializations:-

i) Structural Engineering
ii) Water Resources & Irrigation Engineering
iii) Transportation Engineering
iv) Geo-technical Engineering
