IIT Jodhpur sets up one-of-its kind Civil & Infrastructure Engg Dept
The department has been set up to train a new group of engineers who are capable of designing large-scale infrastructures that are smart, sustainable and climate change resilient.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur has established the Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering that integrates multiple engineering and science verticals to provide a holistic solution to the civil and infrastructure engineering problems of the country.
The department has been set up to train a new group of engineers who are capable of designing large-scale infrastructures that are smart, sustainable and climate change resilient. Currently, the department runs BTech in civil and infrastructure engineering. Other than the regular BTech, the students will be able to earn dedicated specialisations in smart infrastructure, energy, or environment within the four years of their BTech programmes.
Further, students can convert their BTech to BTech-MTech dual-degree and can earn a dual degree in either energy or environment within five years. These specialisations and dual degree allow students to gain advanced training in transformative technologies and more profound research experience.

- Infrastructure engineering: The courses under infrastructure engineering deal with planning, construction and operation of large-scale telecom and IT infrastructures, railway, airport, and ship-port design, infrastructure planning, management and engineering, thermal and nuclear power infrastructure engineering and green building and sustainable materials.
- Smart infrastructure systems: Smart infrastructure offers courses on the application of artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) in civil engineering, cyber-physical systems in civil engineering, digital twin for asset management, intelligent buildings and surveillance and security of infrastructures.
The department also runs two MTech and MTech-PhD courses in infrastructure engineering with specialisation energy and infrastructure engineering with specialisation in environmental engineering. The BTech and MTech/MTech-PhD courses have been designed in close consultation with the industry in India and abroad. Students graduating from these courses will be trained in smart infrastructure systems and skilled in applying AI/ML to build digitalised construction and monitoring systems for large-scale infrastructures.
Ranju Mohan, Head, Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, IIT Jodhpur, said, “Our aim is to produce next-generation engineers through adaptive, flexible and interdisciplinary training programs rooted through cohesive interaction with research organisations, academicians and industries. The curriculum of our UG and PG programmes is aligned with this aim. Through ongoing collaborations, faculties aim to create a co-creation platform that enables multiple players /stakeholders in civil and infrastructure firms to bring solutions for various societal issues under a common store.”
