Welcome message from HOD

Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering at VR Siddhartha. We embarked on our journey in 1977 and over the last four decades, we have grown our expertise and competence in the core curriculum of Civil Engineering and research.
We have a robust undergraduate program in Civil Engineering and allow our students to do Minor degree in Computer Science Engineering or Information Technology or Electronics and Communication Engineering. At the postgraduate level, we offer M. Tech. degree in Structural Engineering. The number of sanctioned students for B. Tech., and M. Tech. SE. are 120, and 18, respectively, per year. Currently, the department has 16 Ph.D. scholars.
Our department provides a science-based engineering curriculum, with a primary focus on imparting technical know-how to students, promoting problem-solving skills, and innovating new technologies. We offer a large number of optional courses to provide a wide spectrum of options to students to pursue their interests. The course contents are periodically updated to introduce new scientific and technological developments. Undergraduate students are encouraged to undertake various research projects.
Our department maintains active research groups for carrying out collaborative and interdisciplinary research. We have state-of-the-art research facilities to support our academic programs and research. Funding for research (approximately 1.25 crores during the last three years) helps us to maintain and modernize our research infrastructure. The department was awarded the Best Industry-Linked Technical Institute in Civil Engineering and Allied for 2019-20 by AICTE-CII. Additionally, our material testing laboratory was accredited by NABL.
Our department has a distinguished record in both teaching and research. Faculty members have excellent academic credentials and are highly regarded, with many prestigious awards at national and state levels. Several faculty members review technical articles for journals regularly, and organize international and national workshops, seminars, and conferences.
This website provides an overview of our academic programs, research activities, research facilities, faculty profiles, and details of student activities.

Alok Bowmick are Adjunct Professors from Industry.

Research

The department of Civil Engineering is very active in research. The number and quality of research publications in the department has been increasing year on year. Research papers are published in highly cited science citation indexed and Scopus indexed journals. Three sponsored research projects form national funding agencies including DST, RPS and MODROBS are presently on going in the department. Sponsored research projects from private agencies including RVNL, BPCL, APSWHC etc. are also undertaken by the department and successfully completed.

Consultancy

Civil Engineering Consultancy Cell furnishes the Institute interface with industry. The consultancy cell is very active in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The Department offers consultancy services in the fields of Material Testing, Structural Designs, Soil Testing, Water Testing, Pavement Material Testing and Surveying. Experienced faculty and qualified technicians help in the services rendered by the consultancy. The Civil Engineering Consultancy generates revenue of around 250Lakhs annually. Apart from revenue generation, the consultancy also increases industry exposure to both faculty and students.

Placements

The Civil Engineering department is collaborating with different industries and organizations in order to enhance the recruitment of students and campus placements. Every academic year, a minimum of seventy percent of eligible students are placed successfully in different organizations and institutions.
