Project and Thesis | Department of Civil Engineering

Overview

The students of Civil Engineering are involved in a number of project/research activities along with the faculty members. For graduation from the CE department, submission of a thesis is mandatory for each student of the department. Students are categorized according to their CGPA and field of interests and assigned a supervisor who is expert in that field. Besides, an external expert (a renowned academician or professional working in relevant topics) is included in the Thesis Committee for each student, who must eventually present her/his thesis satisfactorily to the members of the committee.
