M.tech or Master of Technology is a postgraduate degree program in engineering and technology. At NIILM University, we deliver this course for working professionals. Here, students get to choose their specialization as per their interests. We provide this course in various branches and Civil Highway Engineering is one of them. CE or Civil Highway Engineering is one of the branches of engineering and technology. This branch includes in-depth knowledge of creating roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. Civil Highway Engineering basically comes from Civil Engineering where Highway Engineering is the specialization. The subjects of this course depend on the specialization a student has chosen such as structural engineering, highway engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, construction engineering, etc.

The main work of civil highway engineers is basically designing, developing, and implementing streets, bridges, highways, roads, etc. Highway engineers provide solutions for transportation problems. The smooth roads on which one can drive easily are built by highway engineers, the over bridges that help in reducing traffic, or the rail over bridges that make transportation easy are made by highway engineers. Highway engineers use technologies like aste plastic or cold mix technology which is called Green Technologies. They also use software like AutoCAD, Autodesk InfraWorks, CATIA, and more CAD software.

Civil Highway Engineering is the most sought-after branch of engineering and technology. Highway Engineers are very much in demand in the job field. This course is specially designed for working professionals. Working professionals are the people who are interested in getting higher education or a degree without quitting their jobs. To create a balance between working professionals’ education and employment this course is provided in flexible shifts. People interested in getting a new job at a higher position or a promotion should definitely pursue this degree. With the help of flexible shifts working professionals have this chance to get an academic journey while continuing their jobs. This helps in creating a balance between one’s education and other commitments such as employment. 

The time taken to complete this course is 2 years or 4 semesters of six months each. Students can get admission to this degree after completing their bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or any other equivalent degree such as MCA or M.Sc.This course is a blend of both online and offline modes of education. This M.Tech Civil Highway Engineering in flexible shifts is very similar to the traditional mode of education.  This course delivers an advanced level of knowledge of engineering and technology in civil highway engineering. To maintain a schedule in this course, the timing of classes will be in the evenings, on weekends, or on public holidays.

The method to conduct classes in this course is the online lectures but we also provide recorded lectures to students. For practical knowledge, we provide simulated virtual labs to study and practice. This course is a combination of core subjects, elective courses, projects, and practical subjects. Each semester some activities are performed to measure students’ academic performance and keep them engaged, such as assignments, tests, quizzes, projects, etc.
