Civil Engineering Department has been established in 2013 with an intake of 60. Civil engineering involves utilization of scientific knowledge for comfort and welfare of human beings. It deals with construction activities of civil engineering structures like buildings, bridges, water supply schemes, tunnels, roads, railways, airports and development of small cities. It also includes utilization and planning of human resources, machines, money and materials.  It also involves waste disposal and transportation.
Civil engineering has opportunities in government, public and private sector. Civil engineers can also become job providers by entrepreneurship and having their own construction industry or registering as a contractor with various government and public sectors. They can also pursue graduation, post graduation and further doctorate.
The department has kept updating to well equip laboratories. It also offers additional software trainings to our students.
