Message Of Head

Head, Department of Civil Engineering

Prof. Nazrul Islam

Civil Engineering is far more than the design and construction of physical structures—it is the pursuit of sustainable and innovative solutions that elevate the quality of life and contribute meaningfully to society. In an era marked by rapid technological advancement and escalating environmental challenges, the responsibility entrusted to civil engineers has become more critical than ever. Guided by this ethos, the Department of Civil Engineering has been serving with distinction since 1979, currently offering B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. programs.

Our distinguished faculty members, each holding doctoral degrees from globally renowned institutions such as the University of Edinburgh, IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi, and IIT Kanpur, embody the department’s commitment to academic and research excellence. Admission to the undergraduate program is conducted through the JEE, while entry into postgraduate programs is based on the University Entrance Test. Additionally, all GATE-qualified candidates are awarded AICTE scholarships. The undergraduate program has recently been accredited by the NBA for a three-year cycle (2025–2028).

Our graduates continue to make their mark across government, public, and private sectors, serving the nation in diverse capacities. The department takes pride in its vibrant alumni network, which has a strong global footprint. Many of our alumni are thriving as accomplished professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs across America, Europe, and the Gulf. Furthermore, the department has been a trusted partner to the construction industry for over four decades, delivering impactful consultancy services across the full spectrum of civil engineering domains. These services not only address real-world challenges but also generate significant revenue for the institution.

Looking ahead, my vision is to strengthen the department’s academic and research ecosystem, cultivate robust collaborations with industry, and empower our students with the competencies and exposure required to thrive in a highly competitive global landscape. We are committed to launching specialized postgraduate programs, while simultaneously enriching our existing courses, research initiatives, and consultancy services—ensuring that the department remains at the forefront of innovation and societal contribution.
