Hello Sambhaji,

Earthquake Engineering, the department has been actively engaged in teaching, basic and applied research, and providing consultancy services in the seismic design of almost all major engineering projects in the country, with an aim of mitigating disasters caused by earthquakes. These include nuclear power plants, major dams, bridges, petrochemical and other industrial complexes and multistoried buildings.

This department has been consulted by a large number of governmental and nongovernmental organizations with regard to earthquake resistant design of such structures. A large portion of the software used for analysis and design has been developed in-house.

You can also check the placement with the given below link.

HELLO!PREETI SINGH

This year level of paper was easy in comparison to previous years.This year cuttoff marks of IITs for mtech program may go high.For iits you need at least 700 score.According to previous year trends with this score you have more chance that you will get IIT roorkee.,For sureity wait till IIT roorkee announces own cuutoff score for mtech programe.

You can ask if you have other queries.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Arijit,

Thanks for A2A

IIT Roorkee has an eligibilty criteria of 60% minimum aggregate in 10th, 12th and Graduation for General Category Students. For a person in Sc, St category the aggregate in 55%. In either case, you have missed the line by a small margin. However, if you do have a good CAT percentile, IIMs have a minimum requirement of 50% aggregate only. So try to get the high percentile and get into IIMs which are better than IITs when it comes to MBA

Hope it helps.

All the best

Hey Promod,

Placements

The statistics of placement isn't fixed. It varies from year to year. Earlier when there was an oil and gas sector boom then many MNCs were recruiting from IITs. But nowadays MNC placement have decreased significantly in geology and geophysics department. There was also a surge in PSUs also recruiting from IITs. These days some PSUs like CIL and ONGC are coming for campus drive every year. But most of the PSUs are recruiting through GATE rank which is why the placement has decreased. Also, PSUs directly recruit candidates with the top rank in GATE. On an average you can say there is a placement can be said to be 50% in IITs but then again it would depend on the rank of the IIT that you are studying in. The placements in a top tier IIT would be different from that of a lower tier IIT. The rest get employed through GATE and Combined Geo scientist exam, which are common platform for all.

Other prospects

You have many opportunities after completing Msc in geology other than placements. Specially since its an IIT the job opportunities would be ample.

Geological Survey of India and the Central Ground Water Board select geologists through an examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC)Geologists work in the private sector as consultants. They are involved in exploration and surveyGeologists are recruited with companies such as Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC), Hindustan Zinc Ltd, Coal India, Mineral Exploration Ltd. Oil and Natural Gas CommissionONGC holds annually a written examination in two parts. The papers are in General Studies, English and Geology. This is followed by an interview. The selection is based on vacancies.Oil India Limited is involved in oil exploration.

The Mineral Oil Exploration Corporation Limited interviews academically bright candidates for placement. Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL) and Coal India Ltd. offer jobs after a written examination of two papers followed by interview.

The Atomic Mineral Division at Hyderabad functions under the ministry of Atomic Energy. The recruitment examination is exclusively in Geology and has an objective paper and a test of practical knowledge. Selected candidates have to take an interview.

The National Geophysical Research Institute at Hyderabad and the National Institute of Oceanography in Goa select geologists with specialization with a doctorate qualification. Similar openings are in Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology in DehradunIn Research geologists work as research associates with institutions like the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the department of Science and Technology. These institutions also recruit geologists as scientific officers. Doctorates are preferred for these posts. Many students take up research studies and are aided financially in this by the examination conducted by CSIR.

You could also prepare for GATE. It opens up many opportunities. Also, you can go abroad and do an MS or Phd. IITs are recognized in almost all foreign universities and you will stand a good chance of getting selected. 

sir my score in gate civil engineering is 600,marks 50.37 can i get earthquake engineering in iit Roorkee

Hello Simran

To pursue MBA from IIT Roorkee, candidates should be graduates or a professional qualification equivalent to that of University degree recognized by UGC.

Candidates should have minimum 60 percent marks (55 percent for SC/ST/PD).

Candidates have to appear for CAT exam for admission. Initially, candidates are shortlisted on the basis of scores in the CAT exam.
The final merit for selecting students for admission is prepared on the basis of the aggregate performace in CAT exam followed by Group discussion, interview, and work experience.

Weightage is as follows-
CAT Percentile- 65 percent
Group discussions- 10 percent
Interview- 20 percent
Work experience- 5 percent.

It would be difficult to tell you exactly but you can expect a call with 92 + percentile in the CAT exam.

Good Luck!
