Programmes
Ph.D. Civil Engineering
Programme Overview
The doctor of philosophy program (PhD) in Civil Engineering provides a platform to students to explore their research skills in a specialised area and to develop a dissertation that embodies the results of original research and gives evidence of high merit. The students acquire a systematic and critical understanding of a complex field of learning and specialized research skills in core aspects of civil engineering to advance learning and/or professional practice.
The faculty at school of civil engineering, comprising a multi-disciplinary team, attempts to deliver industry relevant, original solutions in an ethical and sustainable way. The team, through its doctoral programme, endeavours to develop engineering solutions that make a difference to society. Many peer reviewed articles and patents are published by the faculty as an outcome of doctoral research.
The research is strongly supported by state of art experimental and computational facilities, many of which are procured through research grants from reputed organizations including AICTE, MOUs with recognized academic institutes like Politecnico De Milano of Italy and industries.
Broad areas of research available at the school include- Structural Engineering
- Construction & Management
- Environmental Engineering
- Water Resources Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Tunnel Engineering
