DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

The Civil Engineering Department was one of the 3 departments with which the college started its educational journey in 1962. It was started with the 4 year degree course (BE CIVIL) with an intake of 40 which was soon increased to 60. With a view to encourage and enable the serving diploma engineers to upgrade their qualifications and update their knowledge, the four year Part Time Degree Course (PTDC) in Civil Engineering was introduced in the year 1985. The next milestone achieved was the establishment of separate Structural Department offering Post-Graduate courses with Structural Subjects. The first such Post-Graduate course - ME Civil - was started in the year 1988. Since then several Part-time Post-graduate programs in Civil and Structural fields have been started. The Civil and Structural departments of the college are well-known for churning out highly qualified engineers. The departments have made a mark for themselves in the industrial circles too by providing excellent testing facilities for Industries in its up-to –date laboratories with state-of the art testing equipments and infrastructure.
