Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineers design, build, supervise, operate, and maintain construction projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Many civil engineers work in design, construction, research, and education. Civil Engineering is an age old profession and with Government of India's focus is on infrastructure building , scope and opportunities for Civil Engineer will be very high for next few years.

Civil Engineering in VIT is good. Faculties are decent and the opportunities of projects are also as per standards of good engineering colleges. However problem with Civil Engineering is that it is literally a dying field. Don't ever anticipate that after 3-4 years, there will be any progress in this field. Because no matter how many infrastructural projects come up the intake of civil engineers in core jobs will be same. I don't know why it's that way. Talking about placements in the Civil dept of VIT, it's downright poor. About 30-40%. The best company that recruits from VIT is L&T construction. However you'll have to be in the top 40s for it. Godrej Properties gives good package, however their intake is less that 5. Tata housing, saint gobain are other 2 core firms that recruited last year but they too have a meagre intake and pay package. If you want to go for higher studies then you might take up civil in VIT.

Hi Shaik, If you have scored minimum 50% aggregate marks in PCM in 10+2 and have a valid JEE score card then you're eligible for Civil Engineering in many universities across India.
You can apply for B.Tech Civil Engg. at University Of Technology and Management, Shillong.
UTM is committed to ensuring that its civil engineering graduates lead the way in technical expertise, strategic thinking, innovation and communication. Students gain the expertise of the course and as they specialize in later years the course provides a strong technical background in the key subjects of structural, geotechnical, infrastructure and hydraulic engineering and management studies while placing a particular emphasis on innovative engineering.

hello anuj
As a civil engineer, you will have to plan out, design and supervise the construction of different types of buildings. You need to posses good knowledge of mathematics and Science. Also, you must also have good supervisory and administrative skills.
Furthermore, you must be ready to sweat it out at construction sites and even work under stressful and hostile conditions. And if you think you fit the bill then civil engineering is the right profession for you.
There is huge demand for civil engineers in India and it is also expected to get a boost as the country gets ready to upgrade its infrastructure with growing economic and political clout in the world. The career opens a lot of opportunities in numerous government departments. Civil engineers are employed in all major construction projects carried out by central and state government agencies.
