Head of the Department

The Civil Engineering department of PSN College of Engineering and Technology was started in 2009, to cater to the growing needs of builders for our nation and to the world at large. The department has the state of art facilities equipped with latest instruments, equipment, and software for imparting technical knowledge on par with international requirements. Under graduate students from our department of civil engineering are imparted with theoretical and practical knowledge, which enables them to succeed and have an edge in the competitive world. The students here experience an unparalleled education journey, which prepares them to be a global construction business leader. Apart from academic learnings, the students get an opportunity to participate in various activities and events all throughout the academic year, which contributes to their holistic development. All the students undergo a summer internship programme, which gives them a chance to explore and experience the corporate work life. The department of Civil Engineering with its multifaceted faculty members, continues to maintain and cultivate its strong link with the infrastructural industry.

I welcome you to be a part of this journey at PSN College of Engineering and Technology, Tirunelveli.
