The Civil Engineering Department was started in the year 1971. Master program M Tech in Structural Engineering was started in the year 1984. Another milestone was achieved in the year 1994; the department was recognized as Research Center. Over four decades the department has carved its niche in the areas of academics, research, consultancy, collaborative projects, and publications. The department was awarded distinction of 5 years of accreditation by NBA when it was evaluated for third time. Over 12 research scholars have been awarded Ph.D. degree and more than 18 research scholars are pursuing Ph.D. and M.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering. Over 250 technical papers in the reputed journals and conferences are the outcome of active research at the department. The Department holds a patent for Total Replacement of Sand in Concrete by Pond Ash (Patent No 244063). The department has been actively involved in conducting conferences, workshops, FDP’s, Site Visits, Project Tours and several students related programs to provide a platform for sharing and spreading the latest developments in the field of Civil Engineering.
