Scope & Job Oppourtunities

Civil Engineering is considered as one of the oldest infrastructural engineering disciplines and plays a key role: in public sector, from municipal to national governments, and in private sector, from individual home owners to international companies. There is a wonder combination of academic excellence and industrial experience amongst the faculty, which is instrumental in imparting the right blend of theoretical and practical knowledge to the students.

Civil engineering, the broadest of the engineering field, is considered the most versatile branch devoted to Surveying and Construction Engineering, irrigation engineering, transportation engineering, soils and foundation engineering, geodetic engineering, hydraulic engineering, coastal and ocean engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, control engineering.

Civil Engineers will always be needed to maintain and restructure the existing facilities. Civil Engineering graduates can aspire either for research and teaching or independent consultancy services. In addition, activities like seminars, projects, assignments, quizzes and other such competitions are conducted on regular basis to induce the professional skills in the students, which ultimately help them in getting placed in reputed organizations.

On completion of BE, one can look for jobs in road projects, building work, consultancy firms, quality testing laboratories or housing societies, offshore structures, bridges, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbors, water supply and wastewater treatment plants.
