About the Programme
M.Tech in Civil Engineering with specialisation in Construction Management is a two-year post-graduate programme aimed at shaping the student’s managerial and technical skills in the field of engineering.
The programme is streamlined to give insights on the advanced process of construction planning and how to ensure efficient and timely implementation of building and construction projects.
Students are imparted advanced learning in Resource Management, Project Management, Risk Management, Construction Optimisation Techniques, Procurement Management and Financial Planning & Procurement. The students are exposed to practical learning by working on real-world projects in the management lab, construction material lab, and quality practice labs integrated with the latest ICT software. The practical lab sessions require students to apply theoretical knowledge to realise their value through implementation.
As India strives to develop its infrastructure and with the upcoming projects like 100 Smart Cities housing, there will be a pool of opportunities for the students graduating from this programme. The post-graduate programme will play a crucial role in developing industry-ready professionals.
