If not specified by the university, you can write up to 1000 words in your SOP for Civil Engineering draft. Keep in mind that your sample SOP for MS in Civil Engineering does not go over 2 pages in length, yet covers everything from your motivations, background, reasons for applying and future goals.

From what I've observed, Civil Engineering at Chandigarh University gives you a fair chance at placements. The university invites companies like vConstruct, Simplex, McDermott, and Everest Industries, so students don't just depend on a single sector. The placement cell also guides students with mock interviews and workshops so they're ready to face recruiters confidently. A big plus is the exposure students get through activities like Constructionarium, where they go to live sites and actually build models themselves. This kind of practical training makes it easier to impress recruiters. While getting placed also depends on your skills

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.
