CoAST-2019
National Conference on Advances in Structural Technologies (CoAST-2019) is aimed towards a national level forum for profound discussions with shared interest on novel research and developments in the entire domain of structural engineering. Academicians, researchers, consultants, practicing engineers working in government/private sectors from all over the India are sincerely encouraged to participate in this national conference. CoAST-2019 may also be a good opportunity to visit the NorthEastern part of India.

About NIT Silchar
