B.Tech Civil Engineering

It depends on several things: which category you belong to (General / OBC / SC etc.), whether it's CUET score or rank, and which round of counselling. But I've found some data which gives a rough idea.

From recent years at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), for B.Tech Civil Engineering in the General category:

The closing CUET score was about 86.95 in 2023 for Civil. 

In 2025, the cutoff “marks” range for B.Tech Civil is projected to be between 516–560 in General category. 

Also in Round 1 of 2025, the Civil Engineering cutoff for the General category was 525 marks.

Placements for Civil UG

Core companies like L&T, Tata Projects, Shapoorji Pallonji, Afcons hire civil students. Average package: 4–6 LPA.

But many civil students also get jobs in IT, consultancy, banking, government exams.

Data: About 40–50% get core jobs, others move to IT (Infosys, Wipro, TCS), analytics, MBA, UPSC/Govt jobs.

Fresh BTech Civil Engineering graduates have various higher study options in hand like an MTech in specific Civil Engineering domains like Construction Engineering, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Water Resources Engineering and Transportation Engineering, an MBA degree an MS in Project Management or specialized certifications in Building Information Modelling (BIM) and AI & ML in Civil Engineering. A PhD in Civil Engineering is also a feasible option for those inclined towards research and academia.

Central University of Jharkhand has designed a comprehensive syllabus for the BTech Civil Engineering course. Listed below are some of the subjects included in the curriculum:

• Engineering Physics
• Engineering Chemistry
• Engineering Mathematics
• Fundamentals of Computing
• Engineering Mechanics Lab
• Engineering Physics lab
• Engg. Drawing and Graphics
• Engineering Chemistry lab
• Principles of Energy Conversion 
• Mechanics of Solid Lab

You got 58.24 percentile in JEE Mains under SC category.

With this score, it is hard to get Civil Engineering in top NITs.

But you could get admission in a few low-rank GFTIs or private schools.

If you want a higher college, you must put together again and try to rating better within the next JEE try.

Yes you can get Second year lateral entry via CUET UG .

The minimum requirements are the Diploma (45% or more).

A Bsc Degree with a decent Percentage.

The university that you can consider are :

1. University of Engineering and management.
2. AKTU, Uttar pradesh.
