About the Department

CIVIL ENGINEERING is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is the second-oldest engineering discipline after MILITARY ENGINEERING, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering.

Message

The Department of Civil Engineering at CT Institute of Technology, Jalandhar was established in August 2009. The Department offers a four-year course leading to the Bachelors Degree in Civil. Since its inception the Department has been imparting high quality education at Under graduate level . In total there are 60 students pursuing Bachelors degree in the department. The faculty of the department continues to strive loftier by exploring new frontiers of knowledge, imparting the latest technical knowledge to the students and conducting high quality of research. The faculty also renders technical advice on live engineering problems to various Government and Private Sector companies throughout the country. The academic activities of the Department emphasizes deep understanding of fundamental principles, development of creative ability to handle the challenges of Civil Engineering, and the analytical ability to solve problems which are interdisciplinary in nature. The Department also encourages its students to engage in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, essential for development, nurturing of team spirit, and developing organizational skills. There is a lot of scope and opportunities for civil engineering students in the present and future as India is opening its purse strings for several infrastructural works more liberally than ever before. To be a part of making of new and developed India, we here at CTIT, Jalandhar, have taken every care and effort to impart quality education to our students by setting up ultra-modern laboratories, providing them latest software’s in civil engineering and best Teaching so that they remain at par. I extend my warm wishes to Civil Engineering students of the institute.
