Ph.D.

 

Eligibility Requirements for Ph.D Programme

The applicant must have a master’s degree in engineering with marks/CPI not below 65% marks (or CPI of 6.5 on a 10-point scale) or the minimum pass marks (or CPI) whichever is greater. Candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes who have a master’s degree in engineering are eligible to apply irrespective of the marks/CPI. Candidates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering with marks/CPI not below 75% marks (or CPI of 7.5 on a 10-point scale), or a master’s degree in science or an allied area, satisfying each of the following criteria may be considered for admission into the Ph.D. programme:

  • A minimum of 65 percent marks/6.5 CPI in the master’s degree
  • First division in bachelor’s degree
  • JRF/95 percentile or higher in GATE. However, a valid GATE score is needed for the candidates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, if they have not graduated from a CFTI (centrally funded technical institute).
  • M.Tech./M.E. degree in Civil/Mining/Electrical/Computer Science/Electronics Engineering/Information Technology, or M.Tech./M.Sc. degree in Earth Science streams/Geography/Physics/Mathematics/ Environmental Sciences. Candidates with M.Sc. degree must have mathematics as one of the subjects at B.Sc. level.

Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit here for more details on the eligibility.

 

M.Tech. / M.S. (Research)

 

Admissions

Admissions are offered once a year (for the semester starting in the month of July in that year). Candidates are selected on the basis of GATE score and called in the month of April for written test and/or interview in the month of May. Some of these candidates, with exceptional performance in their qualifying degree, maybe offered direct admission in the month of April. Admissions based on written tests and/or interviews are offered after about two weeks of test/interview.

 

Eligibility Requirements for M.Tech Programme

The applicant must have a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a master’s degree in science with marks/CPI not below 55% marks (or Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) of 5.5 on a 10-point scale).

B.Tech./B.E. degree in Civil/Mining/Electrical/Computer Science/Electronics Engineering/Information Technology/Geoinformatics, or M.Sc. degree in Earth Science streams/Geography/Physics/Mathematics/ Environmental Sciences. Candidates with M.Sc. degree must have mathematics as one of the subjects at B.Sc. level.

 

Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit here for more details on the eligibility.

 

Notes:

·        In addition to the above, a valid GATE score is needed.

·      The GATE requirement is waived for the B.Tech. Graduates from IITs with a minimum overall CPI of 6.5 and a minimum CPI of 8.0 in the last two semesters in B.Tech. However, such students are not entitled to Institute Assistantship if overall CPI is below 8.0.

·       Candidates with AMIE certificates are not eligible to apply.

Geomorphic mapping and analysis of neotectonic structures in the piedmont alluvial zone of Haryana state, NW-India: a remote-sensing and GPR based approach

 

Harsh Kumar ,R. S. Chatterjee ,R. C. Patel ,Abhishek Rawat & Somalin Nath

Abstract:

The Himalayan Frontal Thrust (HFT) and the surrounding piedmont alluvial region represent a zone of active deformation in the Indo-Gangetic plains. We investigated the Piedmont zone between the Ghaggar and Yamuna River basins in Haryana, India, for geomorphic signatures of active tectonics using remotely sensed data and validated by Geophysical Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys. The possible locations and the types of active tectonic features such as sub-surface fault, ridges, lineaments and warps were identified based on the presence of geomorphic signatures such as drainage gradient anomalies, abrupt change in flow direction, river offset, compressed meanders, paleochannels and topographic breaks. We used various optical satellite imageries to detect and map the temporal changes in the flow pattern of rivers in the study area. GPR investigations were done at selected test sites to locate and verify the continuity of subsurface fault. The GPR profiles were taken in the North-South direction using the common midpoint technique with 40 and 100 MHz antennae. Low frequency bi-static GPR scanning confirmed a number of dipping reflectors due to fault planes and warp surfaces in the study area. It is concluded that the piedmont zone of Haryana is actively deforming and could become a future seismic hazard zone.
