Achievements

Overview of Civil Engineering

The Division of Civil Engineering has been in existence since the inception of Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences in 1986 and has grown into a full-fledged Division with specializations in Structural Engineering, Environment and Water Resources Engineering. The B.Tech Civil Engineering program is accredited by NBA. It has grown steadily with its parent institution and has turned out 31 batches of Civil Engineering Graduates. Many of our alumni hold prestigious positions in leading industries, government and academic institutions world-wide. The Division has well qualified faculty members with different areas of specialization with good academic, field and research background.

Our Vision

To be an eminent Division producing competent civil engineering graduates, developing perceptible research to render quality professional and community service.

Our Mission

To create an ideal ambience for learning by integrating theory with practice.
To provide students with opportunities to pursue research to find solutions to the challenges in civil engineering.
To interact with industries in addressing issues concerning infrastructure, resources utilization and environmental protection.

PO Attainment

Programme Outcomes Attainment

Based on the NBA defined mandatory Graduate Attributes (GAs) and the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) of the programme, the members of the Board of Studies have established the Programme Outcomes (POs). These were then passed on to select alumni and the faculty members of the Division. Based on the inputs received from them, the POs were presented again to the Board of Studies (BOS) for revision and approval. In total, twelve POs were finalized.

Assessment of Programme Outcomes(POs)

Career Prospects

Civil engineering is the oldest and one of the most versatile branches of engineering. Every structure that we see around today is a creation of civil engineering. Civil engineers design, construct, supervise, operate, and maintain large construction projects and systems, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.

Testimonies by our Alumni


Mr.KamalRaj
Xseed Education Chennai
My student life at Karunya is one of the best time in my life. But overall I feel that being at Karunya was a great learning experience every day. I am thankful to faculty that I got dual placement in core companies with package of Rs. 11 Lakhs per Annum.

Mr.Saikiran M
Everest Industries Ltd.Noida
The Civil Division and Placement cell have helped me to focus on field exposure combined with curriculum. This also laid a platform for me to get into Everest Industries Ltd. I’m Thankful for this opportunity for helping me through the process.
Mr. Ashish Mohanan Pillai
MAATASA L.L.C ,Dubai
Karunya university transformed me from an average student to a successful personality. I learnt to lead a better lifestyle with discipline and confidence. I am thankful to the Division of Civil Engineering for making me an engineer to compete in this world filled with challenges.I am proud that I am a karunyan. I am right now working as a Construction manager in a very reputed company in Dubai - emirate with skyscrapers filled skyline With an annual income of 18 Lakhs.

Mr. Alan Mathews Sajan
Barun Corp, USA
When I first started at Karunya I was unsure about my future. But the Division of Civil Engineering gave me support and confidence. During my final year the Division arranged internships in Capital Engineering Consultancy and Sigma Structures for my final year project. Because of this I got a job in a core company called Barun Corp based in the U.S.A With an annual income of 5.5 Lakhs. So I just wanted to take this time to thank you for all the opportunities provided and leading the civil engineering Division.
