            The Department of Civil Engineering has been in existence since July 2012. With an intake capacity of 30 students, the Department offers a four years (eight semesters) B. Tech programme in Civil Engineering Discipline. The department has initiated its Ph.D. programme since 2014, in various areas of Civil Engineering viz., Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Water Resources Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering. Since July 2018 onwards, the Department has been offering a two years (four semesters) M. Tech programme in Structural Engineering. The Department is offering a common course for 1st year students on Engineering Drawing.
Additionally, the Department actively encourages curriculum development activities by creation of new courses and up-gradation of existing courses. The Department undertakes consultancy works in various related areas of civil engineering, to provide knowledge and intellectual inputs to the industry and other organizations and also organizes seminars/symposia for professional interaction.
