About Us

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) was established in 1958 and the Department of

Civil Engineering has been a part of the institute since its inception. The department has grown

tremendously over the years and is now recognised as one of the major engineering departments in India

and abroad, for its contribution to academics as well as basic and applied research. In 2012, the

Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings for technical subjects ranked the department as the

best of all engineering departments in India.

Besides high quality teaching and instruction at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the

department is actively involved in research, development and consultancy. The department has strong links

with the building construction and infrastructure industry both within and outside the country. Through

variousR&D projects and industrial consultancy, faculty of the department provide high quality technical

advisory support to various public and private organisations.

Construction Technology and Management

Placement

Excellent placement opportunities exist for graduated students. Most students secure a placement (in government, public and private sector, both within the country and outside) prior to completing their studies.

Our students have been placed primarily in the construction and infrastructure industry, including design consultancy (both national and multi-national corporations). The employers include Larsen & Toubro, Dar Al Handasah, Thornton Thomasetti, Walter P. Moore, Leslie E Robertson Associates, Mahindra EPC, etc. A smaller group of students pursue a career in research and academics. Some enthusiastic students with entrepreneurship skills launch their own start-up companies after graduating from this department.

Most of the B.Tech. students opt for an internship at the end of their 3rd year of study (in educational/research institutes and in the industry) which helps them choosing their career path post graduation.

Prospective recruiters and students may obtain additional details from the Placement Cell of IIT Bombay: http://placements.iitb.ac.in

Industrial Consultancy

Apart from sponsored research, the department maintains a very active association with the industry through consultancy projects, providing solutions to real-life engineering problems. Our expert advice is sought for planning, design, construction, testing, performance assessment, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, recycling, etc., in the building construction and infrastructure industry. However, our industrial consultancy is not limited only to this domain.

Clients for our consultancy projects include public and private sector organisations from India and abroad, for example Ministry of Defence (GoI), Indian Railways, NPCIL, ONGC, MCGM, CIDCO, MSRDC, MMRDA, JNPT, CS International Airport, OECD, Petrofac (UAE), etc. Our consultancy turnover is about INR 216 million per year.

Further information on our expertise and on consultancy projects in general are available in the webpages of the Industrial Research and Consultancy Centre, IIT Bombay: http://www.ircc.iitb.ac.in

The department boasts excellent research facilities in various disciplines, including the National Geotechnical Centrifuge Facility. Our laboratories focus on key thematic research areas, and are equipped with state-of-the-art technological facilities.

Our research outcome, in terms of publishing research papers, monographs, technical reports, etc., is one of the best among all engineering departments in the country, keeping the department at a very high level in academic rankings consistently. The average number of journal papers published is 3-4 per faculty member per year (besides similar number of papers in conferences). Our faculty members are editors and editorial board members of many reputed international research journals.

Ph.D. students form the core group of research students. Our M.Tech. students also pursue a compulsory research based dissertation. Post-doctoral fellows have been the recent addition to the departmental research community, and their number is expected to increase in the coming years.
