Principal Secretary, Infrastructure and Investments, L.V. Subramanyam, who was the chief guest, said the IT boom was influencing students to opt out of civil engineering courses.

“Even those who have done civil engineering are hardly seen sticking to the construction industry. There is a severe shortage of skilled manpower and our polytechnic and ITI courses need urgent upgrading, he said.
