Department of Civil Engineering

The demand for trained professionals in Civil Engineering is obvious, omnipresent and ever increasing. Practical knowledge is the ultimate aim & aspiration of the Civil Engineering Department. The Civil Engineering department is furnished with an excellent infrastructure to enrich the students in various fields of Civil Engineering like building, construction, strength of materials etc. Today is an era "interdisciplinary approach" and everybody must have a minimum basic knowledge of all the branches and discipline. The department is taking more focused and multidimensional efforts to make the "foundation of the students" as strong and safe as possible.
