The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 2008 with an intake of 60 and over a short period of time due to remarkable efforts of the Management, Faculty and active students an increase intake from 60 to 120 was achieved. Surge in the Academic, Curricular, Co and Extra Curricular activities resulted in higher success rate with several ranks from the VTU, increased the placements and the cream of the students landed abroad in top universities. Knowing the need of master degree course and on the confidence performance of the Department, M.Tech in Structural Engineering was started in the year 2013 with an intake of 30. Another milestone was achieved by the Department in order to develop and encourage the research needs in Civil Engineering and in the year 2014. The Department was recognised as a research Centre leading to Ph. D from VTU Belagavi and this research culture enabled several research scholars to register for the Ph. D, and more than 200 technical papers have been published in reputed journals, by staff and students.
The Department aims in providing the state of art facilities to the students and transform them into professionals to take up challenges in diversified fields of Civil Engineering, adapt to the ever changing needs of the society and respect humanity.
To develop the department as a conducive centre for teaching & learning and promote quality education, practical training, encourage research, inculcate moral and ethical values, lifelong learning needs.
To motivate the students to take up higher education, entrepreneurship and promote global professionalism.
To encourage contemporary issues and to contribute to societal needs.
1. To apply the principles of mathematics, science and civil engineering in solving problems related to analysis and design of Structures, Transportation systems, Geo-technical Engineering, Water resources and Environmental Engineering.
2. To uphold the ethical principles in their professional ventures and humanitarian concern in all walks of life.
3. Function as an individual, member or as a leader in design and construction and effectively manage the financial and human resources.
