- Interior Designing
The college took a plunge into the immensely refreshing and challenging field of Civil Engineering with the setting up of the Civil Engineering Department, right from the genesis of the college (in 2010). The Department of Civil Engineering is excellently suited to meet the ever changing requirements of engineers with courses that combine the study of management, business skills and computers with engineering. The department ensures not only that the courses are updated, but also that they reflect the current needs of commerce, industry and the society as a whole. At present, the Department offers an undergraduate program in Civil Engineering with an intake of 120. A team of qualified faculty with ample experience is the highlight of the Department and most of them are life members of professional bodies and societies in various fields of Civil Engineering. Faculty members continuously update their knowledge by attending training programs conducted by reputed organizations and research centers. The department is equipped with excellent laboratory facilities.
