IGNOU Online M.Tech In Civil Engineering

Canals, dams, bridges, highways, and infrastructure are necessary for the growth of the economy, these structures are designed and executed by civil engineers. Civil Engineering is an engineering branch that takes care of buildings. It doesn’t just take care but also design and construct the structure. Civil engineers require strong skills of technical knowledge in the field. Therefore, many learners want to pursue an M.Tech in Civil Engineering to build a strong foundation in the field but there are many candidates who can’t apply for the regular postgraduation program so they are looking for the part time M.Tech or distance education program to update their knowledge. 

What’s new at IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University)?

However, due to the Supreme Court Judgement, universities and colleges can’t provide the M.Tech part-time courses. In place of distance programs, there are M.Tech Flexible Timing program which allows a hybrid mode of education. 

M.Tech flexible timing is a 2-year postgraduation degree course. The program is approved by the AICTE and UGC. So, the program is valid and approved by the concerned authorities. Anyone who has completed their B.Tech in civil engineering can apply for the program. The aim of the program is to prepare students for leadership roles in academia, and industries and to resolve problems by offering technical solutions. 

Above it is shared with readers that the program follows a hybrid mode of education in which lectures are conducted online. For practical, students have to visit the colleges for lab sessions. In addition, universities offer virtual lab facilities to the candidates so that they can easily understand the concepts better. These lectures are conducted by esteemed lecturers. 

Furthermore, the curriculum of postgraduation civil engineering flexible timing includes various concepts that are associated with structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental, and water resources. To understand in-depth, civil engineering is divided into core subjects and specialized electives subjects are offered so that students can understand the concepts through research, project work, and laboratory experiments. 

Anyone who wants to upgrade their skills and wants to apply for the M.Tech Civil Engineering Flexible Timing program, learners can apply for the program but they need to fulfill certain guidelines. Interested candidates can check the instructions given below: 

• Learners must have completed their graduation in engineering in a similar field from a recognized institute or college. 
• The score of learners must be above 45% to register for the M.Tech Civil Engineering Flexible Timing course.
• One year of experience is required to register for the program. 
• No age limit to register for the program so experienced learners can also apply for the program. 
• Generally, there is no entrance exam for admission but candidates can check with the university and colleges before enrolling for the program. 

IGNOU Online offers the option of Credit Card/Debit card/Net Banking in its fee payment options but does not provide you a “No Cost EMI” option as of now for any of the online courses.

Here is a general overview of the M.Tech Flexible Timing Civil Engineering syllabus. Most universities provide similar core subjects but various elective subjects. 

Students can check the syllabus on the official website of the university or they can discuss it with professors before enrolling for the program: 

The examination pattern followed at IGNOU online for different types of courses is semester mode, i.e., exams are conducted by the university at an interval of 6 months. For online courses, exams are conducted through an AI-proctored tool for an unbiased performance evaluation of students.

After completing the M.Tech Flexible Timing program in civil engineering, students can apply for these jobs based on their skills and interests. Here job profiles with average salaries is shared with learners:
