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.
