Laboratories for Practical

Lab for Material Testing

For high-quality buildings, testing and inspection of construction materials are essential. Students can examine a variety of building materials' qualities in the Material Testing Laboratory, including fresh and hardened concrete, cement, aggregates, bricks, and AAC blocks.

Laboratory for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

The Laboratory is outfitted to carry out the important characterisation of rocks and soils, as well as a number of cutting-edge testing facilities. The goal of this section is to use cutting-edge expertise to address issues pertaining to the subsurface. It consists of the following:

-Soil mechanics, which is necessary to recognise, define, and research the mechanics of soil and rock.

-Applied soil mechanics is a field that puts behavioural science into practice.

Laboratory for Earthquake Engineering

Earthquake engineering is a branch of science that focuses on reducing seismic risk to levels that are socioeconomically acceptable in order to protect society, the natural environment, and the built environment from earthquakes. It has historically been restricted to the study of how structures and geo-structures respond to seismic loading and is therefore regarded as a subfield of both structural and geotechnical engineering.

Computational Laboratory

Multi-physics challenges, which are often the simultaneous combinations of various physical phenomena, are a common occurrence in engineering domains like Civil Engineering. The Department is outfitted with a computational laboratory with a capacity of around 60 seats and systems updated with software such as AutoCAD, Staad Pro V8i, Revit, and MS Projects to handle such issues.

Workshops, Skill development programmes

In Present world, learning provides constant challenges but is essential to expanding one's knowledge base and developing new skills. Knowledge and skill must be balanced to meet industrial standards. For interaction sessions pertaining to respective fields, workshops and expert lectures are held with expert speakers from Companies & Research Institutes as well as in-house specialists. To inform the students of the current employment prospects in many domains of information, technology, and research, such workshops are often organized. In order to help students be ready for their future employment, mock test series that aim to enhance students' aptitude and reasoning abilities and familiarize them with the format of various placement and other competitive exams are frequently organized.

Structural engineers shape our society, influencing how we live, work and engage with our surroundings. Our program focuses on equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to analyze, design, construct, and maintain essential infrastructure. From bridges to buildings, roads to dams, our curriculum covers a wide range of topics including structural analysis, construction materials, and geotechnical engineering. With experienced faculty members and state-of-the-art facilities, students receive hands-on training and real-world experience to prepare them for successful careers in the field. Civil engineers ensure the safety and sustainability of these constructions, while Structural engineers focus on designing the load-bearing components that uphold them. Working collaboratively, they devise solutions that endure over time and contribute to progress.

Placement Cell at Indus

Indus University has an autonomous vertical - Training & Placement Department (T & P Dept.) - that connects two vital ends: education and the industry. It exemplifies a link between schools and university constituent associations (entry-level input) and the sector (output-end at the finishing level).

The Training and Placement Department was established in 2006. It was previously affiliated with the Indus Institute of Technology & Engineering until becoming a part of the Indus University in 2012.

The Training and Placement Department is the hub for career assistance for students from all programmes and streams at the university. It provides students with overall career solutions by encouraging them to choose and pursue their ideal vocations.
