About Department

The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2009 with under graduate course of B.Tech with an annual intake of 60 students. It has been increasing steadily over the years due the high standards of teaching with the annual intake is increased to 120 students from 2013 onwards gradually the annual intake is increased to 180 students from 2014. The Department of Civil Engineering was also introduced post graduate course M.Tech in the year 2014 with an annual intake of 18 students. The Civil Engineering department has fully equipped with all the qualified Faculty and laboratory Equipments of B.Tech course and also M.tech course and other laboratories to meet the highest standards of academic requirements as per JNTUH.

The department has highly experienced faculty with industry and research experience. All the faculties are postgraduates and Ph.D , the faculty of the department continues to strive hard for the all-round progress and development of the students. Faculty members of the department adopt innovative teaching practices and methods of modern pedagogy for effective teaching learning process.

Faculty members are specialized in offering consultancy in the areas of 1.Concrete material testing, 2.Environmental engineering 3.Geo-technical Engineering. Open elective courses were introduced to widen their horizons of knowledge and to enable students to work on multidisciplinary projects. NPTEL/MOOCs course helps students to improve their self-learning and knowledge and made mandatory for the award of degree.

A good relationship with industry is maintained for the student training, student internships & projects, industrial visits, expert lectures and workshops. Every year students will undergo practical training with the various industries.

The department encourages students to actively participate in extension and outreach activities under NSS unit which includes Swatch Bharat Campaign, Voter registration, Street Cause, Blood Donation Camps, Tree plantation etc.

The institute follows a Proctorial system in which around twenty students are assigned to each faculty as Mentor and Mentee. Besides this, personal individual counselling is given to students through a qualified professional Student Counsellor. The consistent academic and other support rendered, has resulted in increased net selections in placements and gradual improvement in average pay package. Performances in competitive exams have also increased resulting in admissions into Higher Educational Institutions in both India and Abroad
