COURSE DETAILS
   Introduction - M.Tech (Geotechnical Engineering)
  Geotechnical engineering uses the principles of mechanics to analyze and predict the behavior of earth materials. Expertise in this area is gained through a degree in civil engineering and is required for the design and construction of most, if not all, civil structures.
