Students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to acquire leadership qualities. The Civil Engineering Association RIT STRUCTA has been functioning for the benefit of the students. It serves as a platform for students to make technical presentations, gain knowledge about recent advancements and bring together novel ideas. This Association aims at bridging the gap between the academic and the industry by inviting renowned industrialists and academicians to interact with students. Guest lectures, industrial visits, site visits, etc., are organized and value added courses are conducted on regular basis to ensure that students are conversant with recent developments in the field of Civil Engineering.

The Department encompasses professional societies such as Indian Concrete Institute (ICI), ISTE chapters, which provides students a platform to acquire knowledge in various technical activities. It offers consultancy services in the fields of Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Surveying and Highway Engineering.
