Courses for PhD Students

The courses offered to M.Tech. students under various specializations are also open to the PhD students
where the courses are relevant to their research area, subject to the rules as prescribed by IIT Bombay. The
rules pertaining to PhD programme at IIT Bombay can be found here
Coursework requirements in Civil Engineering

The course requirement for a PhD student with an M.Tech. Degree is 3 M.Tech level courses and one
seminar. Thus the minimum credit requirement in general would be 22. However, the same number can be
reduced to 16 credits if the candidate has undergone relevant courses. Every PhD student must maintain a
minimum grade requirement from the courses. In addition to the course work requirement, the students need
to take a two-stage qualifier examination which will lead to confirmation of the student’s PhD registration.
Qualifier requirements in Civil Engineering

For the confirmation of a candidate’s PhD registration, a two-stage qualifier examination in held.
Stage-1: The “credit seminar” will form Stage-1. This should be completed before the end of the first semester
PROF
of joining. The credit seminar should be oriented towards formulation of the research proposal. It should
include identification of the research topic and its importance, literature review and appraisal of current state-

Stage 2: A “PhD Qualifier Examination” will form the Stage-2 of the qualifier. This should be conducted before
the end of the second semester of joining. This PhD Qualifier Examination will be an oral examination WEBMAIL
conducted for evaluation of candidate’s aptitude towards carrying out the proposed research work. The
knowledge of the candidate in the basic subject areas of the proposed research will be tested by the
examiners in the PhD Qualifier Examination
Qualifier requirements for students converting from M.Tech.

prgram to PhD
M.Tech students with minimum level of grades in the coursers can convert to M.Tech – PhD dual degree
program. In such cases, the students have to only clear the stage-2 of the qualifier examination for the
confirmation of their registration. The student has to appear for PhD qualifier examination within six months of

B.Tech and M.Tech. Dual Degree

The Department of Civil Engineering admits 117 students in undergraduate programme. The department
offers dual-degree programmes in the following six areas of specialization:
1. CE1 - Transportation Systems Engineering

2. CE2 - Geotechnical Engineering
3. CE3 - Water Resources Engineering
4. CE4 - Structurual Engineering
5. CE5 - Ocean Engineering
6. CE6 - Remote Sensing
Coursework for dual degree students
The B.Tech. and M.Tech. Dual Degree Programme involves five full years of coursework that should be
completed by the student to earn required credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student
to graduate from Civil Engineering is 395 credits.
The rules and regulations pertaining to B.Tech and Dual Degree Programme at IIT Bombay can be found here
For all the specializations, B.Tech. students at the end of Semester VI can opt to pursue a M.Tech. in the
specialization of interest. Hence, the coursework from semester I to VI will remain the same as B.Tech.
coursework for all dual degree students. The coursework for semesters VII to X will depend on the
specialization chosen for the M.Tech.degree
