CIVIL DEPARTMENT

About the Department

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2009 with the objective of imparting quality education in the field of Civil Engineering. The department has all the amenities to provide necessary strengths to enable the students to innovate and become entrepreneurs to serve the community. The department creates an ideal environment for learning, research and consultancy activities of internationally accepted standards in the field of Civil Engineering.

The Department has dedicated, well qualified and experienced faculty members in the various specialized areas such as Structural, Environmental, Geotechnical, Remote sensing and GIS, Water recourses etc. The faculty members contribute to academic development by publishing books and presenting papers in international/national conferences. The department has well equipped laboratories with state-of-art facilities.

In order to provide practical knowledge to the student’s industrial visits are arranged regularly. Special classes are conducted to improve their academic performance. The resource persons are invited to conduct special/guest lectures/seminars about the latest trends in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering software courses and Workshops are conducted to develop the skills of the students. Parents-teachers meetings and ward meetings are arranged in order to counsel to the students. Placement offers are being provided every year to our students by leading Civil Engineering industries.
