Undergraduate civil engineering education is a professional education which demands its interaction with industry vis-a-vis the society. The present paper first presents a concise description of the history of development of the higher technical education in India mainly to highlight the different salient features in the context of the objective of the paper. It also gives a presentation of the existing scenario of the effective industry-interface system in the undergraduate civil engineering education in South Africa based on author's direct experience in order to emphasize the need and relevance of such a system in the context of the national development in the field of physical infrastructure etc. Finally, the author, in his concluding remark, proposes an industry-interface scheme for adoption and implementation.
