About the department
The Department of Civil Engineering is committed to higher academic excellence and I welcome you to the department and thank you all for showing your interest in the departmental objectives, academic activities of students and faculty members of Civil Engineering. Engineering, RRIT. We offer Outcome based education for our students of 4 year B.E. program and 3 year program for lateral entry students. The outcome based system followed by our department involves industrial visits, software training, Guest lectures and Internships of practical relevance. The Department has Memorandum of Understanding with different firms to facilitate the industrial interactions during the implementation of student projects, student internship and facilitation of guest lectures having orientation with industrial requirements and standards. This is improving the placement potential of our students. We are very happy to state that our program is able to bring in large number of students from different parts of our country and from other countries as well. Our curriculum imparts value added system having an objective of overall development and with a thrust on imparting strong fundamentals in scientific, engineering and mathematical knowledge to the students. The projects and activities are framed to have analytical and problem solving component having thought process aligned towards innovative designing and comprehensive skill sets in the students. The program of our department prepares the students to face the challenges of real world either as an employee or academician or researcher or entrepreneur etc. depending on their interests. We offer a wide variety of elective subjects to students and leave the choice completely to them to study the topics which they like. The Department has achieved NBA accreditation in the year 2022.
