Major Fields of Specialisation
Roads and Highway Engineering
Roads and Highways are the backbone of surface transport and communication and
provide accessibility to the farthest and remotest areas. They also provide the
necessary interface and interlinking with other modes of transportation and are
indispensable in the areas of rural and urban transport sectors. It is the only
means of travel and transport in most of the remote tribal areas and at most of
the times is the cheapest mode of transport between the points of origin and the
destination. In absence of a rapid and efficient mass transport system, roads
and highways provide a convenient means of travel and transport for all segments
of society using varying modes from slow moving animal driven rural carts to high
speed automobiles on the wide network of roads in the country.
