Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur Civil Engineering

My Brother has completed M.Tech Civil Engineering and now wants to take admission in Ph.D. Civil Engineering Course at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) Kharagpur so please give me details for admission? Is there any entrance exam in IIT Kharagpur for admission in Ph.D.?

Can you tell me about the Research Areas of Civil Engineering Department in IITK (Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur)?

[sumit]

The Civil Engineering Department in IITK (Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur) is one of the oldest Departments in the Institute with its beginning in 1951.

It has been involved in areas of Soil Mechanics, Transportation Engineering, Hydraulics and Structures and Environmental engineering. Sponsored and consultancy projects undertaken by the department include Disaster Mitigation & Management, Analysis, Evaluation and Design of Highway and Airport pavements, Non-destructive Evaluation and Restoration of various structures such as building and bridges, Process Modifications for pollution mitigation, Ground Improvement and Sediment Transport and Scour studies.
