Bachelors of Civil Engineering

I completed my Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering at Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, where I studied core subjects such as structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, construction management, and materials science. The program had a strong practical focus — I worked on lab-based assessments, conducted field surveys, and participated in frequent site visits to observe construction techniques and quality control in real projects. I also completed internships, where I gained hands‑on experience in site supervision, quantity estimation, and interpreting engineering drawings. This combination of technical learning and practical exposure gave me a solid foundation to apply engineering principles effectively in real‑world projects.
