Programme Highlights

Academic flexibility is inbuilt in the curriculum with a larger chunk of credits reserved for discipline electives, inter-disciplinary electives, and open elective courses, which allow students to make their own learning experience.

Industry preparedness is taken care of through organized industrial training after the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th semesters so that students get practical exposure and real-world experience in different fields of civil engineering.

Practical experience is woven into the curriculum through fundamental laboratory courses and lab-based learning in elective courses, developing practical skills and technical aptitude.

The curriculum provides modern civil engineering software like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, ETABS, MS Project, Primavera, and QGIS, keeping the learning of students at par with industry requirements.

An ongoing "Design Thinking and Innovation" course series from 3rd to 5th semester promotes innovative problem-solving, feasibility estimation of new concepts or start-ups, and outcome documentation in terms of research papers, patents, or products.

Project-based learning is focused with Project Phase I and Phase II in later semesters, with the goal to develop state-of-the-art research and application of engineering concepts in real-world scenarios.

Specialized courses in computing literacy and programming skillfully impart students with key digital competencies required for contemporary civil and infrastructure engineering positions.

Skill development starts right from the first semester through QAPD sessions and gets further boosted by foreign language courses in upper semesters to ensure global preparedness.

To obtain an Honours degree in B.Tech Civil Engineering with specialisation in Smart Infrastructure under lateral entry, students have to take extra credit requirements in the concerned area.

Internship & Placement Opportunities

The students of the B.Tech Civil Engineering course at MRIIRS undergo internships in various semesters, namely the III, V, VII, and a prolonged internship in the VIII semester (22–24 weeks). The internships can be done in any field of civil engineering and are usually software-based internships or internships at construction sites.

Internship opportunities are planned to provide students with practical exposure in the form of industrial training, making them better prepared for actual problems. Through collaboration with esteemed industries and MoUs, students have live projects, site visits, and specialized analytical software tools for structural and site analysis made available to them. This method ensures that students are exposed to technical environments as well as field operations.

Placements for MRIIRS civil engineering students are available through various avenues. Students can be placed directly from their internship work, corporate placement drives on campus by the Corporate Resource Centre, or off-campus placement activities. Larger corporates like TCS, IBM, EY, Tata Steel, and HDFC Bank have taken up graduates, evidencing strong industry connections and placement facilitation. This multi-faceted framework assists students in attaining appropriate placements matching their capabilities and career goals.

Placement Support

Placement assistance is given through the CRC (Corporate Resource Centre) and CDC (Career Development Centre), and frequent in-campus mock interviews are conducted to enhance students' confidence and interviewing skills.

Capstone Project & Research

Students are actively involved in capstone projects and research on new areas of civil engineering including disaster management, green materials and construction methods, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Student Support Services

A vertical and horizontal system of mentor-mentee is established, providing constant assistance for various academic and personal requirements.

Placement Statistics

The placement percentage for the 2024 batch is approximately 90%. Students have landed jobs with top recruiters—latest stats indicate the maximum salary package given was up to Rs. 32 LPA, while the median salary was Rs. 5.75 LPA. More than 500 recruiters including the giants like Accenture, IBM, TCS, HCL, Amazon, and Capgemini take part in campus recruitment. Civil engineering students always get placed with core infrastructure and consulting firms and technology-enabled positions. Complete statistics for previous years are available through the department's official placement portal.

Global Exposure

Global seminars and conferences are organised for students to participate, which helps them to get exposed to international networking and global opportunities in internships, collaborative projects, and higher studies.

Innovation & Startups

Manav Rachna Business Incubator promotes research, innovation, and entrepreneurship among students, alumni, and faculty. Access to world-class design, fabrication, and manufacturing facilities is accompanied by access to capital from a variety of sources. Mentorship, industry guidance, and networking are supplemented with regulatory, finance, and administrative assistance for entrepreneurial startups. Competency-building initiatives prepare students and nascent entrepreneurs with essential entrepreneurial and technical skills.

These dual programs help graduates gain the proficiency to smoothly enter into the civil engineering workforce, both academically and as a workplace familiarization.

Why Pursue ?

Civil engineering is referred to as the "Mother of all Engineering" as it is the basis of infrastructure construction and serves as a supporting base for other engineering branches.

Engineer's Day is commemorated on the birthday of Sir M. Visvesvaraya, a great civil engineer, in order to pay tribute to him for his contributions to the engineering fraternity.

Civil engineering is a developing and rapidly growing field, with immense possibilities for innovation and professional growth.

The discipline is closely in tune with the Honorable Prime Minister's Digital India Mission and Smart Cities Mission, with a thrust on sustainable urban growth and using technology for enhancing quality of life.

These factors render civil engineering a significant and futuristic choice of career.
