The Department of Civil Engineering established in the year 2010 with an approved annual intake of 60, is one of the oldest department in the Institute that offers B. The current approved annual intake of the department is 120 for B. (Structural Engg.) and 60 for Diploma in civil engineering. The department is nurtured in the hands of Prof. Yugandhar Reddy, Dr. I. Srinivasa Reddy (Ph.D, IIT KGP), Prof. Srinivas and Dr. C. Ravi Kumar Reddy (Ph.D, NITW). The department has been offering the finest and unparalleled quality of civil engineering education not only in the Guntur district but also in the entire JNTUK region. The students graduating from the department every year are occupying some of the top positions in the government and private sectors both within and outside the country and are also heading their own enterprises. Emphasis on practical education coupled with a strong concept-oriented teaching-learning process has been the backbone of the department ever since its inception. The excellent infrastructure is further an added advantage. The department has 11 well-established laboratories housed spaciously with excellent natural lighting and ventilation. All the laboratories are well maintained by technically qualified personnel. During the practical classes, every student is trained individually to handle and use the equipment in all the laboratories to get complete hands-on experience. The department also offers course work in GIS and GPS with practical training in the use of relevant software and equipment. The Computer-Aided Analysis and Design (CAAD) laboratory is fully equipped with licensed software for drawing plans, structural analysis and design, structural drawings and quantity estimation. The department has fully equipped laboratories for structural engineering, highway engineering, concrete technology, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering and geology along with the CAAD laboratory. Apart from the regular curriculum, these laboratories are thoroughly utilized by every student for carrying out their final year project works. Some of the student projects are also getting published as research papers in international journals.
