BSc in Civil Engineering

This four year full-time undergraduate programme aims at imparting conceptual knowledge of civil engineering to the students and developing in them competencies required for professional Civil Engineers. In addition to the academic studies, the undergraduates are exposed to an industrial environment through project work, industrial training, survey camps and field visits. The wide range of competencies required by the graduates as professional engineers and military officers are developed through inter-disciplinary studies in fields of management, law, languages, information technology etc. Students need to earn 135 GPA Credits and 15 NGPA Credits for graduation. Engineering Officer Cadets require 35 MGPA Credits on top of the above for graduation.
