Civil Engineering is the core branch of engineering. Civil engineering is a mixture of engineering of design (CAD drawings) and Art (designing structures). Civil engineers also call upon engineering principles to plan, build and design infrastructures. These include highways, buildings, tunnels, water treatment systems, bridges, airports, rail systems and many more. Here is the list of some of the best colleges for civil engineering in India.
College of Engineering Pune

Bengal Engineering and Science University

Actually it really doesn't matter if it's an IIT or NIT or any other college. It depends on the faculty, the environment in which the department is. The HOD plays a vital role.

You will always find some faculties who simply join for the sake of money while some who are hard working, who are always there for their students.
