IIT-G launches new MTech course, no GATE score required
IIT Guwahati launches MTech: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati on July 15 announced the introduction a new Master of Technology (MTech) programme in Flood and Water Resources Management. Offered by the Department of Civil Engineering, the programme is aimed at working professionals and graduates with at least one year of experience in the water resources sector.
The programme will be conducted in a hybrid format, combining online instruction with laboratory sessions and final examinations held on the IIT Guwahati campus.
The MTech program follows a semester-based system and covers areas such as integrated and sustainable water resource management, flood risk assessment, hydrological modeling, and climate adaptation strategies. The curriculum is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to balance their professional commitments while pursuing higher education.
The programme also includes multi-entry and multi-exit options. Students can exit with different certifications depending on their stage of completion: a Postgraduate Certificate after four courses, a Postgraduate Diploma after seven courses, a Master of Science (Engineering) after two semesters and 10 courses, and the full MTech degree after completing all four semesters and a capstone project. Those exiting at interim levels can rejoin after a one-year gap to complete the full programme.
Application and admission details
Applications for the inaugural batch are open until July 31, 2025. Classes are scheduled to begin on August 18. Candidates must have a four-year Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Civil or Agricultural Engineering or related disciplines with at least 60% marks or a 6.0/10 CPI, along with one year of professional experience in the water resources sector. Notably, a GATE score is not required.
Career opportunities and skills
Graduates will be trained in tools such as GIS, remote sensing, hydrological modeling, and flood forecasting. They will be equipped to work in government agencies, international organisations, consultancy firms, and research institutions focused on climate resilience and sustainable water systems. The programme aims to develop professionals who can implement adaptive water resource management strategies in the context of climate change.
Earlier this year, the Water Resources Department of Assam signed an MoU with IIT Guwahati to nominate 20 engineers annually for the MTech program. The initiative is part of a larger project led by the Assam Flood and River Erosion Management Agency (FREMAA) and supported by the World Bank. The goal is to train over 200 engineers in the next decade to strengthen Assam’s flood management systems.
