About Department

The Department of Civil Engineering at KMCT polytechnic college kuttipuram started in the year 2014 with an intake of 60 students. Modern construction field need experts in civil engineering, keeping this in mind KMCT has started the course Civil Engineering. A Diploma in Civil Engineering is a technical program that teaches students the skills and knowledge needed to work in the field of civil engineering. The course covers the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure like buildings, roads, bridges, dams, and water supply systems. Furthermore, the program trains them to meet the technological challenges and diverse needs of the industry and society in various areas of Civil engineering and equips them to excel in a truly competitive industry. On the other hand, after a diploma in civil engineering, individuals are eligible for higher education options as well. Depending on the previous degree, one can either choose a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in the same concentration.

Message From HOD

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Civil Engineering at KMCT ITM. As the Head of the Department, I am honored to lead a team of dedicated professionals committed to providing quality education, research, and practical experience in the ever-evolving field of civil engineering. Civil engineering is the backbone of our infrastructure and plays a crucial role in shaping the modern world. The role of a civil engineer extends beyond just constructing buildings and roads; it involves designing sustainable, safe, and resilient systems that improve the quality of life for communities across the globe. In our department, we strive to develop not just technically competent engineers, but also responsible professionals who can contribute meaningfully to society.

Department Opportunities and Support

1. Civil Engineer

Job Description: Most students wonder what to do after a Diploma in Civil Engineering, and their first choice is usually to pursue a career in civil engineering. Civil Engineers are responsible for large-scale infrastructure projects such as building roads, railways, airports, bridges, and water systems. These projects are available in both the private and public sectors.

Skills Required: Knowledge of CAD or a similar engineering software.

​2.Structural Engineer

Job Description: Structural Engineers specialise in the sub-discipline of Civil Engineering, focusing on the construction of the essential framework of buildings, often referred to as the “bones” of structures. They are responsible for designing and creating the internal support systems that ensure the stability and rigidity of buildings, making them resilient to environmental challenges and disasters.

Skills Required: In-depth knowledge of various construction materials and techniques. Collaborating with construction teams, as well as public and private agencies, is a key aspect of their role.

​3. Transportation Engineer

Job Description: Transportation Engineers specialise in the subfield of Civil Engineering that focuses on transportation systems, crucial arteries that sustain the functionality of cities. Their primary goal is to ensure the smooth operation of railways, metro lines, highways, oil pipelines, space transportation, and traffic control systems. Transportation Engineers work collaboratively in a team to design and construct transportation infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of a city.

Skills Required: Expertise in designing and constructing transportation systems.

​4. Construction Engineer

Job Description:
Construction Engineers orchestrate complex construction projects, developing building plans, overseeing development, managing inventory, ensuring safety compliance, and recording construction progress. They lead regular meetings with upper management to ensure project alignment.

Skills Required:
Strong leadership, time management, and clear communication skills are essential for Construction Engineers.

​5. Environmental Engineer

Job Description: Environmental Engineers focus on projects with environmental impact, such as water treatment plants, air pollution control facilities, waste disposal, and public health initiatives. Their goal is to reduce pollution and prevent the spread of harmful substances. They handle planning, construction, and maintenance within their projects, ensuring compliance with national and state regulations.

Skills Required: Environmental Engineers typically require a diploma in the field, along with expertise in project planning, construction, and adherence to environmental laws.
