The Department of Civil Engineering was established in the year 1985. In the ever changing scenario of modern day industry, the civil engineers are the ones who are bridging the gap between the normal civil engineers and the need of the modernization.

The Civil Department has a highly qualified faculty. The department has developed an excellence in various fields especially in the area of Transportation Engineering. Presently the Transportation Engineering Section is carrying out two AICTE, New Delhi sponsored Projects under the major scheme (Nationally coordinated Projects) in the area of "Urban Transport Environment Interaction" & "Road Traffic Safety" jointly with IIT Roorkee and University of Bangalore respectively. Earlier in the year 1990 AICTE had sanctioned Rs.17.5 Lacs for modernization of Traffic and Transportation Engineering Laboratory, & it is the only Laboratory in the UP Government State Colleges which has got Central assistance for the modernization. Dept. Headed by Dr. S. P. Sharma.

The Traffic and Transportation Engineering Lab is having latest equipments for research and development activities and this is the only State Government Engineering College which has got faculty members with specialization in Transportation Engineering at Master's level and the Transportation Engineering Section is the best amongst all the UP State Government Engineering Colleges.

The Department of Civil Engineering is approved as STATE TECHNICAL AGENCY for Pradhan Mantri Gramian Sadak Yojana, by the Central Government and UP Government as well . Prof. J.B. Srivastava is the Coordinator & Er. A.K. Shukla is the Deputy Coordinator of the PMGSY Scheme.
