KIIT Society of Civil Engineers

A student society under KSAC that gives students a platform to think, reflect and engage with civil engineering beyond the syllabus.

About KSCE

Reinforcing classroom knowledge through experience.

The KIIT Society of Civil Engineers (KSCE) is a Student Society under KSAC. The society aims to provide a platform for students to think, reflect and wonder about the phenomena involved in civil engineering, reinforcing the knowledge and excitement they attain in class through interesting, hands-on activities and teamwork.

The society organises many events for the institute, both live and online, and contributes its own ideas to the student community. Unlike other societies, KSCE maintains a separate constitution for its members, establishing standard procedures and a code of conduct that guide the society's functioning from year to year.

There are four technical student chapters under the umbrella of KSCE.
