Civil Engineering

Designing and executing structural works requires a great amount of analyzing, understanding and planning. A Skilled civil engineer plays a crucial role in infrastructure development. He or She has to be a construction and environment specialist besides being a versatile systems integrator. Modern day hi-tech construction management systems require a thorough knowledge in information technology. Keeping this in mind, IRT Tech imparts training to civil engineering students with the latest curriculum besides offering them an opportunity to gain hands-on experience though visits to industries and project sites. The budding architects of the future also gain from the guest lectures organized by the institutions.

Department Facilities

The department of civil engineering has modern equipped class rooms, faculty rooms and highly established seven laboratories to enhance the understanding of the concepts through practical exposure.


Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)
  • Civil Engineering is one of the oldest Engineering disciplines and refers to the design, construction, and maintenance of structures integral to the public, such as roads, dams, bridges, canals, and buildings.
  • The discipline of Civil Engineering at I.R.T.T., focuses on a multifaceted growth of students and is designed to equip them not only with the core theoretical and practical fundamentals of the discipline, but also evolve them into confident individuals, ready to make an impact on whatsoever profession (industrial work, research, entrepreneurship) they choose to pursue. Currently, the department offers B.E, M.E and Ph.D degrees with specializations in Structural Engineering.
