Job Prospects

Civil Engineering students participate in the construction activity of the college by bounding hands with our builders. They are gaining more practical knowledge on the recent trends in construction by visiting research centres in and around Chennai. Internship training is offered at leading manufacturing companies every weekend. Industrial visits are arranged to leading companies.
