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.

The biotechnology course graduates can find jobs in healthcare settings with the right skills, such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical companies, as entry-level medical workers. The biotechnology graduates can also get into research fields or pursue a Master's in biotechnology.
