Alumni Testimonials

I am thankful to the management of VISTAS and department of civil engineering for providing me an opportunity to study my M.E course in VISTAS. My stay at VISTAS exposed me to the contemporary construction techniques employed in the industry and motivate me to learn more about the construction planning and scheduling tools. The knowledge transferred through faculty teachings, industry interactions and internships was very helpful in carrying out a novel project and instilling the belief that I can be an entrepreneur. I thank the department of civil engineering and faculties of civil engineering for their role in molding me as a confident, goal oriented successful businessman.
