Ensures the ability to think rigorously and independently to meet higher level expectations of transportation industry, academics, research or take up entrepreneurial route.

Department — Common Course

An interactive deep dive into the core domain of transportation engineering, including construction planning and contract management artificial intelligence and finite element analysis.

Mandatory Courses

• An overview of pavement engineering, traffic engineering, transport planning, airport engineering, railway engineering, and intelligent transport systems.

Students can choose from a list of courses offered across the university from multiple disciplines to earn credits.

Elective Module

• Active participation and output-based projects, seminars and internships in industry.

Faculty Common Modules

• Students can choose from subjects offered within civil engineering to develop a sharper skill in any of these electives.

Course Progression

Semester 4 (electives).

*Elective Courses

There are 4 electives in the programme. The electives are grouped such a way that a student can choose a set of electives to specialize in a chosen field/​stream. However, if the student wishes to opt for elective course that spans multiple streams, the case may be considered subject to the affordability of academic logistics and approval by the course leader, HODs and Deans. For every elective offered, there will be a minimum and a maximum number of registrations that is decided by the department. There is also a provision for the students to choose Electives through on-line mode such as MOOC’s, SWAYAM, NPTEL and other equivalent platforms. The guidelines prescribed by the University for such Courses to be adhered to. The student can also earn 3 or 4 credits by participating in the international competitions like technical presentation/​conference/​publications in the journal etc and winning the award in that. In that case he/​she can be exempted from one of the elective courses of the programme.

Teaching and Assessment

During each semester, students’ performance is assessed through Continuous Evaluation (CE) which includes teacher interaction, session examination and a Semester End Examination (SEE). CE and SEE weightages carry equal weightage.

Students are awarded grades based on the marks scored.
