In 1994, the International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (IIEES) received the license no: 22/4949/22495 dated 9/12/95 for admitting Masters students issued by the Council of higher education. Also in 1996, license no: 22/5090/20682 was issued by same council and thereby Doctorate students both in structural and geotechnical fields were admitted. Currently 36 Masters students and 28 Doctorate students are studying towards their degrees. Table 1. Shows the numbers of students who are admitted so far.
