The DCTS Mentoring Roadmap
The Hybrid Method
The program is structured in two parts.
First, access-based modular learning, where content is organized into well-sequenced modules including concept videos, reference materials, relevant code provisions, quizzes, assignments, and project-linked explanations. Assignments are submitted through the portal and personally evaluated with feedback, supported by an in-app discussion forum and a weekly live clarification session at 7:45 PM (India time), with recordings available. By the end of the modules, participants complete a full project with clear conceptual understanding.
The second part is a guided live project batch, which can be joined from any upcoming schedule. This flexible structure allows learners to continue modules during busy periods and join a later project batch if required. All project sessions are recorded, ensuring deeper learning, practical application, and extended interaction for a thorough, outcome-driven experience.

Before vs After Transformation
The students before and after the mentoring demonstrated a considerable difference in their ability
Before Mentoring
Most engineers joining this mentoring have exposure to software and site execution, but still feel unsure about the engineering correctness of their designs. Decisions are often driven by past drawings, senior instructions, or software outputs rather than first principles. There is hesitation while taking responsibility, difficulty in defending design choices during reviews, and a constant dependency on others for validation. Even experienced engineers may sense a gap between “doing design” and “thinking like a structural consultant.”
Transformation Achieved
After completing the mentoring, engineers develop the ability to think independently and take ownership of structural decisions. Design choices are based on clear load paths, code intent, and engineering judgment rather than blind software dependency. Participants become confident in justifying their assumptions, identifying errors, and handling reviews with clarity. More importantly, they start approaching projects with a consultant’s mindset—focused on responsibility, reasoning, and long-term structural performance, not just calculations and outputs.

Why I Started this Mentoring?
There are a lot of capable Engineers some with even Masters. Unfortunately, many end up doing odd non engineering works. Many starts learning but leave it due to lack of idea and methods.
ONLY 5% gets a learning outcome. I want to help them get back to Technical Roles.
⭐We want to give the best but simple ways to master structures.
I wanted to put an end to this. Researched on why Engineers are not getting results. I realised the main reason is lack of a method. Many international research establish that a learning provides an outcome if contents are carefully curated and sequenced. If followed up with proper tests and assignments and validation the confidence level and decision making ability of engineers are seen to be 5 times more. If this is done in an engaging community, it is seen that different view points are discussed and appreciated and engineers becomes more accountable. If the community is gamified, the interest level is seen to be increasing by times. If guided by an experienced mentor, the rate of learning & the outcome is seen improve by 6 times.
This is what exactly the Civilera DCTS Mentoring will give you - An outcome that allows you to technically design structures of multi floor buildings and manage a consulting business, make use of every opportunity structural knowledge provides you.

Is M-Tech in Structural Engineering is mandatory?
While it is good to have a Masters, as per the prevailing rules as per National Building Code of India, Engineering degree with experience is the yardstick to qualify as a structural engineer. Some companies might give preference to engineers with masters. But it is not a blanket rule. Many large consulting firms are headed by engineers with BE/B-Tech. There might be some cities in India ( very rare) that mandates stability certificate to be signed by an engineer with masters. In nutshell, what matters is a basic degree in civil engineering and your knowledge and experience. Even having masters with out good understanding is not a great situation to be in.
Have my masters in Civil / Geotechnical not exact Structures
There are many practicing engineers with BE/B-tech in Civil and Masters in related civil fields who are doing really well in structures. What matters is the technical knowledge you have and the experience.
