ABOUT THE DEPARMENT

The Civil Engineering Department aims at

developing analytical and experimental skills

in students to apply in various fields of Civil

Engineering using National and International

codes. The department also provides an

opportunity for students in improving

supervision, communication and presentation

skills, knowledge of software like Auto CAD,

STAAD PRO and Rivet Architecture. The

students have to undergo Industrial Training

and visit live projects to gain practical

knowledge and understanding of field

constraints. The Civil Department has well

qualified teaching faculties with industrial

experience who are enthusiastic in imparting

the quality teaching to the students. The

emphasis is laid on proper understanding of
