Our department welcomed the 15th B.Tech batch of 122 students on 18th August 2025, marking the beginning of their academic journey. The department organised a four-day Induction Programme from 18th to 21st August to transition them into college life! The programme was thoughtfully designed to introduce the students to the academic environment, the values of the institution, and the exciting prospects awaiting them in the field of Civil Engineering.
The inaugural session commenced with a welcome address by the Head of the Department, who highlighted the vision and mission of the department while encouraging students to make the most of the opportunities ahead. Faculty members introduced themselves and shared their areas of expertise, giving the students a glimpse of the diverse academic and research strengths within the department.
Across the four days, the students were given an introduction to the various professional bodies chapters and their activities, NSS, NCC, placement opportunities and awareness on narcotics and drug abuse.
The highlight of the program was the ice breaking session conducted on the third day, the students competed as groups to build the tallest tower with newspapers. It was interesting to see the students showcase their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving talent.
On the last day, a cultural session was arranged where the students got an opportunity to showcase their talents. It was a fun filled session which helped them to appreciate and socialise with their classmates. Students expressed their excitement and gratitude for the warm welcome and shared their enthusiasm to embark on this new chapter.
The Department looks forward to nurturing this new batch of aspiring civil engineers, guiding them not only in academics but also in developing the skills and values that will make them future-ready professionals.
