About the University

“CHRIST (Deemed to be University) was established as ‘Christ College’ in 1969. It undertook path-breaking initiatives in Indian higher education with the introduction of innovative and modern curricula, insistence on academic discipline, imparting of Holistic Education and adoption of global higher education practices with the support of creative and dedicated staff.”

The University Grants Commission (UGC) of India conferred Autonomy to Christ College in 2004 and identified it as an Institution with Potential for Excellence in 2006. In 2008 under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India, declared the institution a Deemed to be University, in the name and style of Christ University. One of the first institutions in India to be accredited in 1998 by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Government of India, and subsequently in 2004, 2016, 2022 CHRIST (Deemed to be University) is currently accredited with ‘A+’ Grade. The University is ranked among top 100 universities in India at 67 in the NIRF India Ranking 2023 of Ministry of Education, Government of India.

The multi-disciplinary University which focuses on teaching, research and service offers Bachelor, Master and Doctoral programmes in humanities, social sciences, sciences, commerce, management, engineering, architecture, education, and law to about 30000 students. The University offers its programmes at four campus locations in Bangalore in Karnataka, at Lavasa in Pune in Maharashtra, and Ghaziabad in Delhi NCR.

The campus is a living example of harmonious multiculturalism with students from all the states and union territories and around 60 different countries. CHRIST (Deemed to be University) publishes six peer-reviewed research journals and has published more than 300 books in Kannada and English. A promoter of sports, music and literary activities, it is a nurturing ground for creative excellence.

About the School

Established in Mysore Road with the finest ambience of greenery and world-class infrastructure, far from the hustle-bustle of the city, the School of Engineering and Technology provides the experience of the traditional world-class campus with department-specific buildings, libraries, research facilities and residences. School of Engineering and Technology brings academia and industry together to develop transformative ideas and pioneering leaders in technologies for this digital era.

About the Department of Civil Engineering

As one of the oldest branches of engineering, civil engineering involves analyzing, designing, and constructing public and private projects by integrating scientific principles with engineering experience. The programmes from the department are offered to facilitate the planning, design, and construction of residential & commercial buildings, railways, airports, dams, environmental pollution control systems, water purification and distribution systems, and urban transportation systems that enhance the quality of life. The curriculum:

is designed to find solutions to the problems faced by society in a fast-changing world, as the students get an opportunity to work as interns in the industry, gaining hands-on experience and making them industry ready.
provides for a choice-based credit system, allowing the student to accelerate the completion of his programme if so wishes to.
includes skill-based and ability-enhancement courses both in undergraduate as well as post-graduate programmes.
also encourages students to pursue a Minor in AI & ML or Data Science or Honors in Construction Practices (in association with L&T Edu Tech) along with their B.Tech in Civil Engineering, which gives them an extra edge compared to their peers elsewhere.
gives students the theoretical background and professional attitude to serve the public.
typically leads to entry-level positions or to pursue post-graduation in technical specialities like environmental, geotechnical, structural, and traffic transportation engineering.

About the Conference

The International Conference on Innovations in Construction Materials and Structural Systems brings together researchers, academicians, industry professionals, practising engineers, architects, and policy makers to discuss emerging trends and recent advances in the field of construction materials and structural engineering. The conference provides an interdisciplinary platform for sharing innovative ideas, research findings, and practical experiences related to sustainable construction, advanced materials, and resilient structural systems.

The conference will focus on contemporary themes such as high-performance concrete, geopolymer and recycled materials, smart and self-healing materials, structural health monitoring, seismic-resistant design, masonry, steel and composite structures, digital construction technologies, and the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in civil engineering. Special emphasis will be placed on sustainable and environmentally responsible construction practices that address the challenges of urbanisation, climate change, and infrastructure resilience.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their work through keynote lectures, technical sessions, workshops, and panel discussions led by distinguished experts from academia and industry. The conference also aims to foster collaboration between universities, research organisations, and industry partners, encouraging the translation of research into practical solutions for the built environment. By sharing knowledge, the conference aims to support safer, smarter, and more sustainable infrastructure. Select high-quality papers will be recommended for publication in Springer Nature in Proceedings in Technology Transfer.
