Civil Engineering

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 engineers typically do the following:
• Analyze long range plans, survey reports, maps, and other data in order to plan projects
• Consider construction costs, government regulations, potential environmental hazards, and other factors in planning the stages of, and risk analysis for, a project
• Compile and submit permit applications to local, state, and federal agencies, verifying that projects comply with various regulations
• Perform or oversee soil testing to determine the adequacy and strength of foundations
• Test building materials, such as concrete, asphalt, or steel, for use in particular projects
• Provide cost estimates for materials, equipment, or labor to determine a project's economic feasibility
• Use design software to plan and design transportation systems, hydraulic systems, and structures in line with industry and government standards
• Perform or oversee surveying operations in order to establish reference points, grades, and elevations to guide construction
• Present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or descriptions of property
• Manage the repair, maintenance, and replacement of public and private infrastructure
So its challenging, restless but the brightest engineering of all times. Go grab your dream…best wishes.

There are plenty of colleges in India that offer quality education and also good placement opportunities. Every IIT in India offers civil engineering, along with other autonomous colleges of national level and state level, as well as government colleges. The top colleges conduct entrance exams to enroll students for the degree course. Apart from the various IITs, the civil engineering course is offered in several NITs, BITS Pilani, Delhi Technical University, Jadavpur University (Faculty of Engineering & Technology), PEC University of Technology, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, College of Engineering Pune, Thapar University, and many others.
