With each passing year, the enrolment in PG engineering courses is on the decline and hence the university has decided to restructure the courses to attract more students. "A detailed plan for restructuring of the PG courses will be implemented after getting approval from the syndicate," said a varsity official.

The MTech in Climate Change and Disaster Management, offered by the Civil Engineering department, aims to prepare new generation of scientists and planners to tackle climate-related challenges through science-based planning, research, and innovation.
