Civil Engineering -> Overview

The Civil Engineering Department was started in the year 1962 as one of the first branches in P.E.S. College of Engineering, Mandya with an intake of 40. The department has carved a niche for itself by offering the most competent instructional programs to the students. The department is running an undergraduate programme with an intake of 120 and it has started PG in CAD Structures with an intake of 18 in the year 2006. The department has been recognized as research centre under VTU, Belgaum.

The department is accredited by NBA, New Delhi for five years (2004-2009), for three years from (2017-2020) and again accredited for three years from (2020-2023). The department is well equipped with laboratories, computing facilities, independent library and other infrastructure. The department has well qualified and experienced teaching faculties. The department also takes up consultancy work pertaining to planning, structural designs of buildings, testing of materials, soil investigation
