Infrastructure is a basic system that a country or an organization uses in order to work efficiently. M.Tech Programme on Infrastructure Engineering and Management gives an in-depth insight on the management techniques with extensive real-world learning opportunities along with the emphasis on preparing to take on professional responsibilities. It gives the necessary tools and techniques that will be required in order to succeed in one of the world's most dynamic and rewarding industries.

The M.Tech. Programme on Infrastructure Engineering and Management started in the year 2011. This Programme has been started with the basic objective of creating future infrastructure managers who will be responsible for managing and implementing large and complex infrastructure projects. Accordingly, the programme has been designed to introduce the students to the techno-managerial aspects related with the development of infrastructure projects over its whole lifecycle. This master degree course follows a four semester system. In the first two semesters, the postgraduate students are exposed to advanced courses of infrastructure engineering and management, whereas in the last two semesters, the students are given the opportunity to pursue research on various issues and challenges encountered in implementation and management of infrastructure projects. The advanced courses which are offered in the Programme covers the critical topics affecting infrastructure engineering and management such as Financing Infrastructure Projects, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), Economic and Financial Analysis of Infrastructure Projects, Political and Social Perspectives of Infrastructure Planning, Planning and Management of Infrastructure Projects, Equipment Management, and Construction Materials.

The Infrastructure Engineering and Management Laboratory is well equipped with the necessary computing facilities along with state of the art project management and infrastructure planning software such as MS Projects, Primavera Project Planner, and Autodesk Revit Building Suite.
Some of the quantitative analyses carried out in this laboratory include:
•    Financial modelling of infrastructure projects
•    Construction cost estimation and rate development
•    Earned value analysis of infrastructure projects
•    Resource driven scheduling
•    nDimensional modelling of built facilities
•    Risk analysis and assessment of infrastructure projects
