IOE Pashchimanchal Campus offers MSc degree in Rock and Tunnel Engineering with its first batch in 2020 [2076 batch]. The graduate course in rock and tunnel engineering takes the reader through all the critical steps of the design and construction of tunnel and rock slopes stabilization starting from geotechnical investigations through to tunneling methods and construction management. The course encapsulates key considerations for field based learning and cutting edge knowledge required to produce high level technical manpower in the prolific era of underground space for society in areas as hydropower, irrigation, road, urban tunnels and water supply.

Graduate course in Rock and Tunnel engineering is supported by NORHED project 70141 6 for capacity development in higher education within Rock and Tunnel Engineering with key objectives of capacity build-up of faculties/ staff through research and training, establishment of a state of art rock and tunnel engineering laboratory, teaching contributions and student exchange collaboration.

The project aspires to empower females through gender mainstreaming initiaves, which assures two seats per year  for female students out of total capacity of twenty students and provides stipend to the two students to cover tuition fees, laboratory costs and accommodation within the campus.

Elligibility criteria and enrollement process is as per IOE graduate program guidelines.
