Department's Profile
The Department of Transport Science and Technology has been started in the year 2019 under the school of Engineering & Technology. Initially it offered only 2 year M.Tech in Transport Science and Technology with the intake of 22 students. The department is going to offers Ph.D program in Transport Science and Technology from upcoming session of 2020-21. The sole motto of the Department is to be a center of excellence in the field of Transport Science and Technology. It will always go for providing a world class research facility and will always be committed for an overall educational development of the students. It is also committed to have industrial cooperation, taking care of the future of students as well as of the Department. The research in the department is focused on major thrust areas of transportation like pavement material and designing, traffic engineering, road safety audit, sustainable practices in transportation engineering, transport and environmental, Impact of transportation on climate change, intelligent transportation system, airport designing, waterways transportation and on other relevant areas for advance transport system. The Department will also show its commitment to work with the regional and national authorities to short out the problems related to transportation in association with technologies for sustainable environment.
