Prof. A. K. Gosain
Head, Department of Civil
Engineering, IIT Delhi
Message from Head of the Department
We have just concluded the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Institute with a sense
of achievement and accomplishment. Since the Civil Engineering Department has all along
contributed not only in providing the academic excellence but also in building the basic
infrastructure of this great Institute; therefore, there would not be a better time to engage
in introspection and put together our achievements as well as our resolve to engage with
the challenges of future in view of rapidly changing needs and environment of our society.
This brief information brochure is an attempt in this direction.
The Department has always been able to attract and nurture faculty that is equivalent
to the best as per international standards. They have always been engaging with the
cutting edge research in their respective areas and contributed not only at the national
but also international level. They have always been deeply involved in moulding our
young bright undergraduate and graduate students into technologists, technocrats and
researchers who are capable of providing best of solutions to the societal problems.
I can vouch on behalf of my faculty colleagues and staff that we will continue to
strive for greater heights in teaching and research that is relevant and shall help in nation
building. I am very happy to present a brief account of our engagements, achievements and
aspirations in the following pages.

T
he Civil Engineering Department is one of the oldest
departments of the Institute and was established
along with the inception of the Institute in 1961.
Starting with a regular five year bachelor’s degree in Civil
Engineering, the Department has grown leaps and bounds
in offering seven different specialised Institute M.Tech.
Programmes along with a host of industry sponsored
M.Tech./PG Diploma Programmes. The Department also
offers M.S. (Research) and Ph.D. Programmes in different
frontier areas of research in Civil Engineering.
The Department which housed in a tiny shed in 1961,
moved through the corridors of Block I, before finally
settling in its present location at Block IV and V occupying
nearly 4500 m2
of covered area on the campus.
The Department also excels in industry sponsored
research and consultancy activities. This journey,
however, has not been overnight; it’s been a result of
hard work put in by the faculty, the laboratory staff,
the students and has thoroughly been backed by the
administration at all levels through the times.

Academic and Research ProgrammesAcademic and Research Programmes
Bachelor of Technology in Civil
Engineering
The Department offers B.Tech. degree to eligible
candidates, which is a four year undergraduate
programme. The students have a wide variety of
core and elective courses to choose from. After
completing the broad based core courses, each
student chooses an elective course in his/her
area of special interest from amongst the streams
of Construction Engineering and Mangement,
Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical
Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation
Engineering and Water Resources Engineering.
The students undergo field trips, industry oriented
practical training and colloquium and final year
project as a part of the undergraduate programme.
Each year more than 110 students join this
prestigious programme.
Master of Technology in Civil
Engineering
The Department offers seven postgraduate
programmes to eligible candidates, which are
of two year duration each leading to M.Tech.
degree in a specialised field (as given in the table
alongside). In each programme, students acquire
knowledge in broad-based core courses followed
by electives which provide in-depth and specialised
knowledge in areas of special interest to them. Like
the undergraduate students, they also undergo
field trips and industry oriented practical training.
A major project is also to be undertaken as a part
of the curriculum in the final two semesters which
involves research or design and development.
Around 244 students enroll for these M.Tech.
programmes every year. The Department also
offers M.Tech. in Construction Technology and
Management sponsored by Larsen & Toubro and
one year PG Diploma in Metro Rail Transport:
Technology and Management sponsored by DMRC
which is open to industry sponsored candidates
only. The Department also offers few M.Tech.
programmes to universities abroad through the
two-way video conferencing mode since 2009.
Research Programmes (Doctor of
Philosophy, Master of Science)
The Department offers Ph.D. degree to postgraduate
students who have attained M.Tech./M.E. degree
and also to a few exceptionally bright B.Tech.
students. At any instance, we have more than 150
students who are full-time, faculty who pursue
their Ph.D. under the QIP (Quality Improvement
Programme), part-time students who are basically
from industry or nearby engineering colleges.
The Department also offers Master of Science
(Research) in all the areas of Civil Engineering to
bright undergraduate students.

he faculty are always enthusiastic in publishing books/book chapters, journal papers and conference papers both at the
national and international levels on a variety of topics. In recent years (2007-2012) 361 journal papers, 527 conference
papers and 42 book/book chapters have been published. The faculty also actively take part in editing and reviewing books,
journal papers, conference papers/proceedings, journal issues, technical articles, masters and doctorate theses.
B
ecause of the proficiency of the Department in Civil Engineering, various
government divisions, Public Sector Undertakings and industries in the private
sector approach the learned faculty for undertaking various research and
consultancy projects.
Complex design, construction and maintenance problems of the infrastructure sector are
resolved through the intervention of the expert faculty of the Civil Engineering Department.
The consultancy projects are undertaken for arriving at practical solutions to problems
of special nature. The sponsoring agencies include, among others, Ministry of HRD,
Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Ministry of Environment and
Forests, DST, BRNS, CSIR, ONGC, EIL, CWC. To name a few organisations which
took consultancy on various projects from the Department include DDA, DJB, NDMC,
MCD, Northern Railways, NTPC, BSES, Power Grid Corporation, Unitech, Konkan
Railways, Grasim, L&T, IRCON, RITES and others.
