Civil Engineering

If you looking for a book that you will carry in your hand everywhere then kindly, please ignore this answer. If you choose construction, then referring the book A to Z of Practical Building Construction and its Management would forever be helpful to you for life. Not only will it serve you as guide but also teaches you the procedure required to be performed. Both step by step along with formulations and analytical methods are also explained. Perhaps, one could consider this book as Bible for Construction where it covers every nook/corner of entire construction cycle. That is from planning, execution and handing over. In fact, this book has immensely helped me and I say- It is must book for every civil engineers shelf.

Hello Dheena,
It is very heartening to know your desire for doing Diploma in civil engineering. You are working abroad and you are seeking to do Diploma in civil engineering in distance mode from KSOU. Is that right? Now KSOU is an authorised agency or university department and hence any certificate awarded by this institution is valid across India and abroad anywhere for all purposes, but perhaps while doing this you will need to come to India appear for the exam as I think even now the exams are not conducted online. There is one more method by which you can be an engineer, that is by obtaining associateship of the concerned institution like Institution of Engineers or institution of Civil Engineers. You can appear for their exams and that is treated as equivalent to graduation. But in all these cases, presently at least, exam centres are not abroad and you need to come to India to appear for the exam, but perhaps this is a very small price to pay for obtaining degree certificate or Diploma certificate.
Best wishes to your efforts.

At present, CSE is saturated with so many students who pass out every year, and the tech companies don't differentiate between electronics, IT, Computer and electrical. So, there is a competition from other branches as well in CSE. A lot of my friends who were into these streams have ended up doing MBA. (When you eventually wanted to do MBA, why did you join Science stream? Could have taken commerce. So, many students who are ranked low at entrance exams are deprived as these people occupy their seats.
Anyways, civil has tremendous scope in many fields. Be it construction, transport, geotechnical, fluid mechanics, repair and maintenance, seismic retrofitting of structures, testing of materials. So, basically there are endless opportunities than CSE.
