Civil Workshop

The Civil Engineering Lab at our university covers a wide range of cement, rock, soil, marble, tiles, asphalt and other construction materials. The lab is equipped with the latest engineering instruments which are extensively used by students to design, analyse and simulate physical and environmental systems. The laboratory is in Block- C on the ground floor.
