The BTech Civil Engineering syllabus focuses on both theoretical lectures as well as practical work.

With the help of lectures in the curriculum, theoretical concepts are introduced to students, tutorials provide space for solving problems and applications also.

And the labs offer hands-on experience to students who get acquainted with equipment and CAD software. Also, the field projects also allow students to apply their B Tech Civil Engg. skills and knowledge to design and implement communication systems.

• Pharmacy (BPharm & MPharm) – Less stress compared to hospital-based jobs.

• Physiotherapy (BPT & MPT) – Flexible working hours, minimal emergency calls.

• Public Health & Community Medicine – Focus on preventive healthcare rather than emergency treatments.

• Clinical Research & Medical Writing – Research-based work with no direct patient responsibilities.
