The M. Tech in Structural Engineering program is designed to build advanced expertise in the analysis, design, and maintenance of structural systems. It combines foundational theory with applied practice through core courses in structural dynamics, finite element methods, prestressed concrete, advanced steel and RCC design, plate and shell theory, and matrix analysis.
Learning is reinforced through hands-on labs such as FEM and numerical analysis, fostering strong computational and experimental skills. Interdisciplinary courses in research methodology, intellectual property, and scientific writing broaden the learning scope. A wide range of electives—including structural optimization, health monitoring, soil-structure interaction, and business analytics—support specialization in emerging areas of structural engineering.

Scholarships and teaching/research assistantships are available for deserving meritorious students. Minimum requirement for scholarships is a score of 75% and above in the Qualifying exam. Each scholarship application will be evaluated by the Scholarship Committee. The scholarships are given on an annual basis. To continue the scholarships after the first year, the student will have to maintain a minimum prescribed academic performance during the course of the programme.
Assistantships require students to commit minimum of 8 hours of work per week outside regular academic work, assisting professors on teaching or research projects. Typically an assistantship could pay a stipend of Rs. 12,000 per month depending on the type and quality of work undertaken.
Continuation of assistantship during each semester is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance and satisfactory performance in the discharge of responsibilities assigned under the scheme.
