CRESCITA

To prepare professionally competent and socially responsible Civil Engineers

OUR VISION

Apart from teaching, our faculty members are deeply engaged in research work, as it gets

demonstrated from the awards, recognition, funds for the projects from different science and

technology departments. Students are encouraged to join various technical and non-technical

forums, participate in different technical platforms which in turn give them exposure to their career as

Engineers.

This academic year, we have again started with number of curricular and non-curricular activities.

GATECLUB is one of them; a great effort put by our dedicated faculty members for benefit of the

students. GATECLUB is an initiative to promote our students towards the competitive world by training

them with a systematically structured course and also to make them ready to face the competitive

exams easily after graduation.

I am confident that the students of the present batch would justify the credibility of the department

by showing a high level of professional competence in their respective job areas.

Dr. S. J. Arwikar

From the Desk of HOD The department gives exposure to its students, not only to the

regular Engineering curriculum but also to the aspirations of today’s

corporate world, by inculcating a professional attitude in them. Our short

term training programs and workshops by the resource persons from IITs, NITs,

National research centers, Industries give our students a cutting edge in

technical exploration, enhance their information search, analysis skills and

shape our students for the jobs hereafter.

“It is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination

emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone

or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards

of living and adds to the comforts of life. That is the engineer’s high privilege.”

My College days are unforgettable and in fact those

days are the most happiest & fruitful days in my life. I proudly

feel that I cherished every moments of my college. However

with the guidance from enthusiastic teachers all the efforts

made by me were rewarded at last. I participated in the

grand Alumni Reunion – Milan’19. I enjoyed a lot with my

old friends. We can see the many changes in the college

and our department. Dedicated faculties of Civil
