The Institute offers a 5 year Dual Degree programme (DD) in Civil Engineering departments.

This programme is the Bachelor and Master degree combined together. That means that upon successful completion of the necessary academic requirements, a student is awarded two degrees: 

  1. B.Tech. degree of the parent department (e.g. Mechanical Engineering)
  2. M.Tech. degree of the Specialization within the parent department (e.g. Thermal and Fluids Engineering)

The undergraduate Civil Engineering professional education at IIT Kanpur starts at the second year level in the four-year B.Tech. and five year B.Tech.-M.Tech. degree programmes. Recognizing the modern pace of development in Civil Engineering, the programme provides basic education in physical sciences including solid, fluid & soil mechanics, materials, earth sciences and geoinformatics,  that leads to the planning, design and construction of bridges, buildings, hydraulic structures, environmental systems, and transportation systems including highways, railways, airports, etc. Besides these broad training,  students are given  the option to pursue electives in any particular area of Civil Engineering. A two-semester project during the fourth year of the B.Tech. degree programme  is  intended to synthesize their education in several areas. As a student proceeds along the program, the emphasis shifts from analysis to design, and from skill development theoretical to the problem-solving approach.

Student Enrichment Program (STEP) – An initiative to facilitate students' travel

The Department of Civil Engineering, IITK has launched the STudent Enrichment Program (STEP) initiative to facilitate the travel of its students for academic opportunities. The scheme is primarily targeted to help B.Tech and Dual degree students during foreign travel for internships, exchange programmes, etc. The initiative aims to establish a self-sustaining fund within the department which will be used for this purpose. Though some faculty colleagues have volunteered to make some contributions in addition to the Department allocation of a seed grant, the fund shall be sustained through contributions made primarily by the students, especially those who benefit from it, and the alumni. Interested students may please submit the dully filled form to Ms. Punam Lahura in CE office.
