The college took a plunge into the immensely refreshing and challenging field of Civil Engineering with the setting up of the department of Civil Engineering, right from the genesis of the college. 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.

A large number of subjects are offered in different areas for the students to study the subject of interest in depth. The subject taught in the course include Surveying, Building Construction, Transport Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Concrete Design, Steel Design, Soil Engineering. Earthquake resistant, structures, Hydrology and dams etc.
