HOD’S DESK
DR. M. G. KALYANSHETTI
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce our Civil Engineering Department which is one of the oldest Department of the Institute. The Strengths of our department are excellent Laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, qualified and experienced faculty having expertise in diverse fields, and excellent Industry Institute interaction in the form of consultancy services, training, sponsored projects, joint research work, etc. As a result of this, The Department has received the AICTE-CII award of ‘Best Industry Linked Institute in Civil Engineering’ for three years i.e. 2013, 2014, and 2018.
The Department has been accredited four times by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) New Delhi. The department has signed an MOU with reputed organizations Like the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Progressive Engineering Consultants, Maheshwari Group, Indovance Pvt. Ltd,etc.for joint research, training, internship, and placement of students.
Department has received funds of @ 1.2 crores from AICTE and other agencies under various schemes like the Research Promotion Scheme (RPS), Modernization and removal of obsolesce (MODROBS), University seed money, etc.which enable us to develop excellent research laboratories
The Department renders Consultancy services in the various domains of Civil Engineering like
Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Surveying, Concrete Technology, and Environmental Engineering along with Proof consultancy services for the analysis and design of civil Engineering structures. We also undertake Third Party Technical Audit of several civil engineering works executed by PWD, SMC, Nagar Parishad, etc.This helps us to give more practical knowledge to the students with an encouragement to take industry-sponsored projects and several Industrial visits which enhance student learning.
Students are encouraged to participate in a Skill development program that includes the development of software proficiency and employability-focusedTestssuch as the Group Discussion/Personal Interview series which are effectively conducted by the IEI (India) Student Club. The Civil Engineering students consistently perform well in Competitive examinations like GATE and Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) Technical Services.
Our Mission is to provide a learning experience that will develop students’ technical and professional skills to succeed in a wide range of careers contributing to the research and innovation, advancement of design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure to enhance the quality of life for humanity in a sustainable way.
Thank You.
