Preface by Board of Studies
Dear Students and Teachers,
We, the members of Board of Studies Civil Engineering, are very happy to present the Second Year Civil
Engineering syllabus effective from the Academic Year 2025-26. The present curriculum will be implemented for
the Second Year of Civil Engineering from the Academic Year 2025-26. Subsequently this will be carried forward
for TE and BE in A.Y. 2026-27, 2027-28, respectively.
Civil Engineering is a dynamic discipline that lies at the intersection of engineering, design and environmental
stewardship. It provides the foundation for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructure
systems that support modern society. This curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive
understanding of the fundamental principles, theories and practices of Civil Engineering, while also preparing
them to address the challenges of an ever-evolving built environment and sustainable development.
The revised syllabus falls in line with the objectives of NEP-2020, Savitribai Phule Pune University(SPPU),
AICTE New Delhi, UGC and various accreditation agencies by keeping an eye on the technological
developments, innovations and industry requirements. Learners are now getting sufficient time for self-learning
either through online courses or additional projects for enhancing their knowledge and skill sets. Learners can be
advised to take up online courses, on successful completion they are required to submit certification for the same.
This will definitely help learners to facilitate their enhanced learning based on their interest.
This curriculum is the result of extensive consultation with academic experts, industry professionals and alumni
to ensure relevance and excellence. It is designed not only to meet the current industry standards but also to
prepare students for higher studies and research in the field of Civil Engineering.
We hope that this curriculum will inspire students to become competent professionals, responsible citizens and
contributors to the technological advancement of society.
