ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 1984 with an intake of 30. Subsequently, the intake was increased to 40 in 2002 and Then again increased to 60 in 2009. The Department is accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for Five years from 19th July 2008 for second time. The Department has a good academic culture and conducive working environment in the areas.  The equipment in the laboratories from these areas have been procured from the funding of state government and the AICTE funded projects under the category of TAPTEC, MODROB and R&D. The infrastructure is sufficient to achieve the academic excellence. In addition to the strong placement, students are getting good ranks in GATE examination.

The Department runs Two PG courses in Civil Engineering since 1991 with an intake of 18 and Structural Engineering since 2015 with intake of 18. The Department is a Research Centre of Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University. The AICTE under QIP has sanctioned two scholarships for full-time research work leading to Ph. D. degree. The M. Tech. and Ph. D. students publish high quality research papers in National and International journals.

The department is having close association with the academic institutes like (IIT Mumbai, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi, VNIT Nagpur and NIT Jalandhar etc.
