HOD's DESK

A warm welcome to all the Civil field apirants…
The most important object of Civil Engineering is to improve the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade. It is applied in the construction and management of roads, bridges, railroads, aqueducts, canals, river navigation, docks and storehouses, for the convenience of internal exchange; and in the construction of ports, harbours, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses; and in the navigation by artificial power for the purpose of commerce.
The Department of Civil Engineering is committed to create efficient Civil Technocrats catering to the growing needs of construction and allied industries and society.The department has very strong undergraduate programs.The teaching philosophy of institute is to ensure the environment makes the learner to grasp the knowledge. The feedback system in the interactive session helps in analysing each student's adaption and gripping ability.
The department has been able to foster a distinguished approach with the help of the staff and has excellent credentials and a promising outlook. The faculty members are well-educated and have en-number of publications in multiple journals and conference proceedings. It gives me immense pleasure to lead such a prestigious and productive department in all aspects.
I congratulate the teaching faculty as well as the students for their brilliant efforts to make the strong foundation of the department. I wish all the students to get into a great academic career ahead. Thank you.

Lab Facilities

The department has well-equipped labs in all disciplines which gratify to the needs of the undergraduate students.

Survey Lab

The laboratory of Surveying is well equipped with all the required instruments and tools that are helpful in the overall understanding and practical knowledge of a student.

Students learn techniques for gathering field data with both traditional and modern instruments.

Surveying Lab offers additional experience in fundamental land surveying measurement methods for surveying courses, including precision steel taping methods to perform horizontal measurements, digital theodolites to perform angular measurements and traditional & automatic levels for elevation measurements.

Furthermore, students have an opportunity to use total station equipment, which enables horizontal, vertical and angular measurements to be made in one operation.
