Civil Engineering

About Civil Engineering Department

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 1959 with an under-graduate program. Master’s and Doctoral programmes in Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydraulics & Water Resources Engineering, and Structural Engineering were introduced in 1972. Since the inception, the department has grown tremendously and is recognized as one of the best departments in the country. It provides high quality teaching and research with its multifaceted faculty. The department is actively involved in the consultancy projects catering to the needs of various organizations and offers high technical advisory support to many agencies. Prestigious Water Technology Center and Center for Rural Appropriate Technology Center (CeRDAT) are also part of Civil Engineering department.
The department has multitalented alumni serving in various prestigious positions in different fields at National and International level. It organizes many International and National Conferences, Seminars, Workshops and Continuing Education Programmes by interacting with eminent professors and practicing engineers to disseminate the knowledge to the world. The department of Civil Engineering encourages the faculty and students for participating in training programs in various premier institutes. The department faculty members and students have won many prestigious awards and recognitions adding feathers to its cap. Some faculty members are editors and members of the editorial boards of reputed national and international journals.
The department objective is to deliver best knowledge to the students and serve the society and the nation in tune with its vision and mission.
