Top Civil Engineering Colleges in Pune 2021
COEP Pune - College of Engineering. Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering, Pune. SIT Pune - Symbiosis Institute of Technology. AISSMS College of Engineering, Pune. MIT WPU Faculty of Engineering, Pune. Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune. I had one friend who did Civil engineering from LPU, based on his review I share the followingThe highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: -
1. Most of the faculty staff is from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.
2. The capstone project is an integral part of B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills.
3. There is an internship programme which could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option.
4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepare to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you.
5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and on analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives.
6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few.
7. Career oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. None the less, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is pre requisite for any Civil Engineer.
8. Every theory course is complemented with relevant lab based practical work. Some of the labs are based on field testing where experimental work is to be done, e. g. Soil Lab & Surveying Lab.

First and foremost, you have to understand that there is no point comparing M.Tech and MBA courses. Both are specialised degrees and have value in their respective grounds. Both M.Tech and MBA provide excellent career options and have gained importance over the time. M.Tech or MBA is always an additional advantage to an engineer whether it is in terms of experience, knowledge or seniority. Whether it be an IT, manufacturing, or R&D driven establishment, there would be requirements for both M. Techs and MBAs. The M. Techs would be more of a subject matter specialist, whereas the MBAs would handle product sales and marketing, project management, IT process, human resources, consulting and customer service management etc. Doing M.Tech in a particular field would make you invaluable for a company that has business profile of that field. Being an MBA on other hand will give you a totally different business perspective and is much broader in scope. So just measure your Interest and then make a choice !
Preferably, you should make the choice on the basis of your career goals, capabilities and interests. In case you want to continue your career in technical field, then M.Tech is the right choice for you. After this you can even switch to research or teaching. But if you want to work in the corporate sector, then MBA is the way to go. It is a management course and hence would enhance your managerial, leadership presentation and communication skills etc. I had done my B.Tech. MBA with dual specialisation from globally renowned Lovely Professional University since my career pathway is core Management segment. Because after MBA you get the entry to the field of business and administration where you can go in for options like marketing, sales, human resources and operation management. In this context I found it worth to mention some salient features of Mittal School of Business, LPU, Some of the unique features I just would like to mention regarding MBA programme in LPU,
1. Mittal School of Business, LPU has been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) of USA for its Management, Commerce and Economics programmes.
2. School is ranked No. 2 in India in Outreach and Inclusivity and 38 overall in the prestigious NIRF 2018 ranking released by The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. Hope this helps !

Dear Neelesh, The best courses after B.Tech in Civil are M.Tech and MBA. I have many friends who have done MBA after Civil engineering as per their interest. However, a few did M.Tech who has a keen interest in the construction field. Being alumni of LPU, I recommend LPU for both MBA and M.Tech. The Business School of LPU is accredited by ACBSP, Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry-experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU is ranked No. 2 among Indian B-Schools in 'Outreach and Inclusivity by NIRF ranking released by MHRD, Government of India. A following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: -
1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.
2. The capstone project is an integral part of B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end.

Thanks!

Dear Pooja, First of all, there is no gender discrimination in the field of education and job, in fact, nowadays girls are pursuing Civil and Mechanical engineering. You can choose M.Tech if you want to be a teacher in the future else you can go for a job in the private or public sector. My friend did B.Tech and M.Tech from LPU and now working as an Assistant Professor in a college. The following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: -
1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also.
