Structural Engineering

M.Tech in Structural Engineering is a specialised branch of Civil Engineering that focuses on the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads.

A total of 4 students were placed out of 17 graduating students during M.Tech Structural Engineering placements 2025 at KCT Coimbatore.

As a candidate with an M.Tech in Structural Engineering, the UGC NET is a more suitable option because Civil and Structural Engineering are not directly included in the CSIR NET subjects. The UGC NET allows candidates from applied and professional fields to qualify for teaching and research positions in universities and colleges. Therefore, it is recommended to choose UGC NET in a related subject area such as Environmental Science or any available engineering-related specialization.

USA, Netherland, UK, Canada, etc. are the best countries to study structural engineering.

Well, it is not a great idea, as online engineering degrees like BTech and M.Tech are not valid in India anymore as per the recent guidelines by AICTE and UGC. This is because of the technical nature of the discipline that needs practical training to excel at the workplace. So, it is better to go for regular, full-time Structural Engineering courses offered by various top colleges in India, where you'll get to learn about the field through field visits, internships, and industrial visits.
