Civil Engineering Degree

Civil Engineering is for people who desire to see the nation grow and enhance the quality of social life. As a civil engineer, you will help development of industry, transportation systems and infrastructure that are the milestones of our economy. Civil Engineering is about community service, development, and improvement. It includes planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life. As a civil engineer one will be called upon to play a major role in developing water, oil, gas, mineral and other natural resources and address energy needs and urban community planning.

The prevailing boom in the infrastructure and construction sectors has brought the limelight back into civil engineering, with the demand for civil engineers growing exponentially. With the Indian Government’s renewed thrust in the construction sector permitting 100 percent Foreign Direct Investment, the need for quality civil engineers will shoot up. This sector is witnessing heightened activity as a result of which there has been a substantial increase in the number of projects. Thus there is a surge in demand for quality civil engineers.

The thrust areas of research identified by the department are waste management, hydrological modelling, concrete technology, alternate building materials, stability of soils in open wells, masonry structures, finite element analysis of laminated composite shells, and optimisation of civil engineering processes and studies on Ecology and Environment Protection. The department has identified the following thrust areas for investigation and research keeping in tune with the current trends and societal needs.
