Over the years with the help of dedicated group of people, it expanded to the present level as one of a highly reputed group of Civil Engineering Departments in the country. Presently the Department of Civil Engineering has six well established disciplines - Structures, Water Resources, Soil Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Urban Engineering and Remote Sensing.

The department functions with three divisions

Structural Engineering
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering
Division of Urban Systems and Development
Three advanced centres

Centre for Water Resources
Centre for Environmental Studies
Institute for Remote Sensing
These centres and divisions all have fully developed laboratories with classroom facilities and are renowned for their academic and research achievements at national and international levels. The Department of Civil Engineering has been approved for a very long time as a centre for the Quality Improvement Programme at Masters and Doctoral levels.
