Civil Engineering: What is it About?
Civil
engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines in the world. Civil

Indian students, but lately has been sidelined due to the software and IT boom.
However with the increasing need to develop and maintain India’s
infrastructure, which is lagging in all aspects, this field is bouncing back
strongly.
