Department of Civil Engineering has excelled in bringing
out professionals with high caliber and outstanding skill
sets. The Faculty of the department aims at delivering a
spectrum of knowledge which combines the concepts of
past and the technologies of future. We train our students
to use theoretical knowledge to real time applications in
the field. We encourage our students to take up
internships and participate in curricular and co curricular
activities which helps them reshape their career
perspective. We also provide industry experience for our
young Engineers through Industrial Collaboration
Programmes through CEA (Civil Engineers Association).
