Civil Engineering

Department of Civil Engineering was started in the year 2012 with an intake of 60. The Department is headed by Dr. Lakshminarasimhaiah N and supported by Associate Professor, Assistant Professors and non-teaching staff. Department has spacious classrooms, well-equipped laboratories. Department was started with the aim of disseminating knowledge and arranging a technical visit to construction sites, to bring out hidden talents in the students, to bring industry-institute interaction for the benefit of students and staff. The Department also has a Research Center recognized by VTU
