Department offers following programmes duly approved by AICTE and having affiliation with Panjab University, Chandigarh.

  • Ph.D. Programme
  • M.E. in Civil Engg. (Construction Technology and Management) (Regular/Modular mode)
Ph.D Programme

The Ph.D programmes are designed to prepare working engineers and technical teachers from R&D establishments, Corporate Sectors and technical/educational institutes to enhance their competencies, besides enhancing knowledge, innovating and creation of new knowledge and techniques. They are provided with an opportunity to conduct research independently in emerging areas , thereby enabling them to make new challenges as innovators. Till date ten PhD students have been awarded degree, while few others are pursuing their research work.

ME Programme

The department has been very successful in offering Master of Engineering Course in Civil Engineering (Construction Technology and Management Regular Progarmme) since 1994 . The number of students on its rolls have gradually increased over the years and currently more than 50 students are enrolled. The department is also conducting M.E (Modular) Programme with an annual intake of nearly 40 students.
