B.Tech in Civil Engineering
About Program
Imagine shaping the world around you—designing skyscrapers, constructing resilient bridges, and building sustainable urban environments. Civil Engineering is more than just blueprints and concrete—it’s the foundation of modern civilization.
At GRD Uttarakhand University, our program of B.Tech in Civil Engineering in Dehradun empowers students with technical expertise and real-world exposure. From roads, airports, and dams to smart cities and climate-resilient infrastructure, this program equips students to lead in every facet of civil infrastructure.
New Age Engineering with Dual Specialization (Industry 5.0): a four-year, 180-credit B.Tech that joins digital intelligence (programming, AI, data and security) with physical systems (VLSI, embedded systems, machines and drives). Students go deep in two specializations of their choice, which are co-designed, co-delivered and co-certified with industry.
