Master of Technology (MTech Seismic Design and Earthquake Engineering)

M.Tech. Earthquake Engineering or Master of Technology in Earthquake Engineering is a two year post graduate programme. Earthquake engineering is the scientific field concerned with protecting society, the natural and the man-made environment from earthquakes by limiting the seismic risk to socio-economically acceptable levels. Course includes the kinds of engineering needed to design and construct the physical features that we live and work in everyday: buildings, bridges, airports, highways, water supply systems, and so on. Earthquake Engineering as a profession in India is a newly introduced field in academics and industry. Since 60% of Indian geography is declared sensitive to earthquakes, the role of earthquake engineers proves vital in building quake resistant structures.
