Department of Civil Engineering,
HEAD CE
MESSAGE:
India has entered into a major infrastructural expansion requiring Civil Engineers to play 
a important role in national building - the second time around after India's Independence 
in 1947. So, the Department has set its goals for a new era with a technology productoriented,  professional  focus,  and  embarked  on  undertaking  changes  towards  meeting 
the  needs  for  the  nation.  Updating  curriculum  of  academic  programs  facilities  of 
laboratories  (including  computer  lab  with  new  updated  software's),  including  younger 
students in projects are three important changes that are underway. This crucial effort of 
the  Department  of  Civil  Engineering  is  steered  by  its  active  faculty  members.  The 
Department  of  Civil  Engineering  with  its  multifaceted  faculty  continues  to  maintain  and 
cultivate  its  strong  links  with  the  infrastructural  industry  and  academic  and  research 
institutions both within  and  outside  the  country.  So  with  the  mission to offer world-class 
undergraduate  and  post-graduate  education,  research  guidance,  professional 
consultancy, outreach and manpower training as well as leadership in Civil Engineering.
Come Join the Rebuilding Again !
