Admission Open 2019-20

OVERVIEW

• Civil Engineering department of Manipal University Jaipur was established in 2011. It provides outstanding higher education in structural, geotechnical, transportation, construction engineering and management, environmental and water resource via state-of-the-art infrastructure and devoted faculties. By contributing to exceptional academics, a rich alumni legacy, and fulfilling the fundamental requirements of our society through cutting-edge research activities and people connect, the department has achieved a level of excellence. The department of civil engineering provides a four-year full-time B. Tech. (Hons.) in Civil Engineering with specialization in Geoinformatics which include industry internships, experiential learning, field visits and project work that is spaced out over eight semesters.
• Geoinformatics is an inter-disciplinary programme that teaches students how to use geospatial technology to solve real-world problems in the environmental, earth sciences, social and economic realms. The core strength of the programme lies in its creative curriculum, which introduces current and prospective professionals with existing knowledge on development challenges.  It introduces basics of remote sensing and computerized GIS database management system to civil engineering students, with subsequent strengthening their professional exposure. 

Key Highlights of the programme

The purpose of introducing the program is to develop expertise in the application of geospatial technologies in civil engineering and related domains. It is intended to transform the students into GIS-skilled professional civil engineers, through the teaching and learning processes of remote sensing and GIS. The knowledge of Geospatial Technology promises the employment prospects of students in both government and non-government organisations significantly around the globe. The practical GIS-approach towards understanding the civil engineering-related problems helps students to match-up their skills well with the growing demands in the industry of Geo-Spatial technology. A few highlights of the programme are mentioned below:

• Sir M Visvesvaraya scholarship and TMA Ramdas Pai scholarship for candidates with strong academic background.
• A cutting-edge technology for civil engineers to visualise smart city structures, map generation and analysis.
• A career advantage for higher studies in Geospatial technology with job opportunities in several Global IT firms as GIS-trained civil engineers.
• Introduction of experiential learning as a project-based approach for the first-year students to understand the basics of civil engineering.
• State-of-art infrastructure and labs with advanced analytical instruments.
• Organization of site visits/summer school for practical knowledge and comprehension of ideas related to civil engineering.
• Organization of International/National Conferences, Executive and Faculty Development Programmes (EDP/FDP).
• Conduction of seminars/webinars/expert lecture by academia and industry person for knowledge enhancement.
• Conduction of workshop/training sessions for hands-on practice and skill development.
• Active participation of students in extra-curricular activities and societal connect programmes.
• Flexibility and diversity in departmental/open elective courses.
• Students’ involvement in research projects towards innovation and social benefits.
• MoUs with industries and foreign universities for student internship, placement, and research projects with stipend.
