About the Department

Established in 1961, Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur aimproduce high-quality technical manpower to cater to the needs of induR&D organizations, and educational institutions. The Department ofB.Tech. and B.Tech.-M.Tech. degrees in Civil Engineering, M.Tech.

Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering with six specializations (EngineeGeosciences, Geoinformatics, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydraulics Water Resources Engineering, Structural Engineering, and TransportaEngineering), and Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with specializatioEnvironmental Engineering. The inter-disciplinary M.Tech. programEnvironmental Engineering & Management (EEM) administered byDepartment is a unique programme in the country. The Departmemphasizes on the broad grasp of the fundamental principles, understanding of the specialization, development of creative abilithandle the challenges of civil engineering, and the capacity to adapt solve problems of inter-disciplinary nature. The Department encourages its students to engage themselves in various extra-curricand co-curricular activities to improve their overall personality, aninduct the spirit of team work, leadership and organizatiskillsessential to building a successful career.
