On Campus

- We offer MS and PhD degree programs in Geotechnical Engineering. Our instructional and research programs maintain a strong balance between the experimental, analytical, theoretical, and applied aspects of geotechnical engineering. The program has been deliberately designed to offer a broad range of activities, with a solid basis in the core areas of geotechnical engineering and opportunities for students to participate in research at the forefront of developments in the field. Our graduates obtain an education that serves as a foundation for successful careers in geotechnical engineering practice or academia.

- Geotechnical Engineering provides flexibility, broad subject coverage, high quality delivery and excellent job prospects on graduation. The course allows development of important technical aspects associated with Geotechnical Engineering. It provides the students with comprehensive and diverse understanding of Geotechnical Engineering which will allow the students to develop their careers. It is not only successful in providing essential technical aspects in the subject, but also allows a sound practical application of the skills learnt.

- The practice of Geotechnical Engineering requires a knowledge of geology, soil and rock mechanics. The MS/PhD geotechnical programs require a solid background in engineering geology to understand the behavior of soil and rocks
