PROGRAMMESTRUCTURE
Preamble:
Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences is used to the
benefit of mankind. Engineers develop solutions to the problems of society within the constraints of
economy and environment. Their primary job function includes activities such as design, analysis,
manufacturing, research, sales, management, consulting and many more. New generation engineers
are required to cope with rapid changes in both domain knowledge and nature of problems to be
solved. Engineering profession is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary; making demands on
knowledge, skills as well as personality. A civil engineer has to work in diverse fields viz. industrial
structures, bridges, docks, harbours etc. The civil engineer is also responsible for management of
various resources, administration, finance and construction.
The M. Tech (Tunnel) curriculum offers a varied range of subjects that falls into the core,
specialization and basic Civil Engineering stream. The course also has provisions for pursuing
seminars, projects, internships, interdisciplinary subjects for the students as a prudential aspect of
the course curriculum. The value-based education is ensured by offering peace related subjects and
yoga practice.
The curriculum is based on the theme of continuous evaluation. Theory and laboratory components
are given appropriate importance. The communication skills are enhanced through seminar
component. Industry exposure is given through internships/ projects. The curriculum will transform
the students into winning personalities.

Foundation / Orientation Programme

The students admitted to the M.Tech. Civil Engineering program belong to variety backgrounds and
possess different levels of technical awareness. A one day orientation program is conducted for the
students to get acquainted with the overall program, extra- and co-curricular activities alongwith
employment avenues. Students are briefed about the contemporary scenario in the industry,
academics and research. The orientation program helps the students to make a choice about the tracks
by selecting the relevant electives which will help them in their career.

The students can undertake the MOOC courses offered by the reputed and renowned
organizations/providers such as NPTEL, SWAYAM, Coursera, edX, UDEMY, UDACITY, and
others with prior written approval from the HOS. The school can have a standard format for student
MOOC application.
As we have MOOC courses from second year onwards, while approving the MOOC courses, the
level/quality of course is to be considered.
MOOC course requirements are as below:

, Exposure to crystalline silica dust and cement dust, respiratory,
lung or skin problems.
Sign
Exposure to chemical vapors, lung problems, including chemical
pneumonitis, respiratory failure and death if left unchecked.
Exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Oxygen-deficient
atmospheres can contribute to
breathing problems, such as asthma.
