DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 2004 and has been continuing its magnificent expedition ever since. In 2013 we were proud to launch M. Tech course in Structural Engineering, which elevated our status to greater heights. The Department takes immense pleasure in delivering technically proficient and ethically responsible engineers to the society and promises to produce more for improving the living standards of our nation. Civil Engineers build the world’s infrastructure, which enables them to have abundant prospects around the globe

The Department is also honoured to have an extremely dynamic and dedicated faculty whose expertise has been widely acknowledged. The faculty members pursue study in areas such as Structural Engineering, Building Materials, Construction Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Engineering and Transportation Engineering.

The Department has well equipped and state-of-the-art laboratories which cater to the needs of a Civil Engineering student.

In addition to the academic activities the Department serves as an authorized Testing and Consultancy centre for various Industries as well as Public Departments.

We have an active Civil Engineering Association for the Department established with the intention of fertilizing technical and extra-curricular activities of students, apart from the regular curriculum. We have an active ICI (Indian Concrete Institute) Student’s chapter, which organizes many events which enables students in collaborating and interacting with professionals and thus aid in bridging the gap between theory and practice.

The Alumni are well placed in different parts of the world and many of them pursue higher studies also. The Department has earned a name for the high ethical standards, it has set in Academic and Professional practices.

The success of the Department is the outcome of the teamwork of its competent faculty, skilled staff, Alumni and the vibrant student community. Above all, it is the continuous effort towards improvement and keeping up to its vision and mission that sets apart the Department of Civil Engineering.
