2015 – 2016
1 Introduction
The Department of Civil Engineering, one of the founding departments of IIT Bombay, over the
years, has grown tremendously, and is now recognized as one of the best and major engineering
departments in the country and ranked highly in the world for civil engineering. With its
multifaceted faculty, the Department continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links with the
building and construction industry and academic and research institutions both within and outside
the country. Besides high quality teaching and instruction at both UG and PG levels, the
Department is actively involved in basic and applied research and consultancy and provides high
quality technical advisory support through various R&D projects and consultancy to various
organizations. The department has attracted significant amount of sponsored research funding
from government and private agencies.
2 Academic Programs
The Department of Civil Engineering offers broad-based undergraduate B.Tech degree program.
A dual degree (B.Tech-M.Tech) program is also run in structural engineering. Postgraduate
M.Tech (admissions through GATE/sponsorships) and PhD (through selections/ sponsorships)
programs are offered in the following five specializations:
• Structural Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Water Resources Engineering
• Transportation Systems Engineering
• Remote Sensing
• Ocean Engineering
At present the annual intake into B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. programs stands at 117, 54 and
about 34 respectively. B.Tech. students have the option of converting into B.Tech - M.Tech dual
degree program, and M.Tech. students into M.Tech. – Ph.D. dual degree program. During 2015-
16, 95 B.Tech. degrees, 6 B.Tech. - M.Tech. dual degrees, 50 M.Tech degrees, 3 M.Tech – Ph.D.
dual degrees and 17 Ph.D. degrees were awarded from the department.
