HOD's Message

As a HOD of the Civil Engineering Department , I am both honored and excited to extend my warmest greetings to all of you. The Civil Engineering Department is at the heart of our institution’s commitment to excellence in education, research, and community service.
Our field, with its profound impact on infrastructure and development, plays a crucial role in shaping the future. We are dedicated to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and innovative mindset required to address the complex challenges of modern civil engineering problems. Our curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in core principles while also integrating cutting-edge technologies and sustainability practices.

ABOUT

The department offers under graduate and post graduates courses with an intake capacity of 120 and 18 respectively.
To keep pace with the infrastructure development of the nation, the department contributes immensely by providing state of the art technocrats.
Our students have been placed in multinational companies like L&T, Simplex India, NCC etc. Every year a sizable percentage of students get admitted in premier Institute like IITs and NITs through GATE for post graduate studies.
To serve this purpose of career building the department is equipped with highly qualified and experienced faculty backed by modern Lab facilities.
The faculty members undertake industrial consultancy, organize seminars, symposia, contribute to research publication and more importantly own patents.
Sophisticated Laboratories on Soil Mechanics, PH Lab, Material testing Lab, Survey Store, Hydraulics Lab, Concrete and Structural Enng. Lab, GEO Technical Lab, Environmental Engg. Lab & Transportation Engg. Lab.

Vision

◆ To be a Beacon in the field of Civil Engineering by fostering a sound education system with excellent facilities of research which shall go a long way in turning the department to a seat of higher learning.

Mission

◆M1: To impart appropriate skill and knowledge of Civil Engineering to the students in a manner which will make them the competent human arms of the building apparatus of our country.

◆M2: Providing the students with a balanced dose of theory with an eye to its practical utility in solving field problems.

◆M3: Creating motivation for both teachers and the taught in acquiring the latest knowledge in all fields of Civil Engineering.
