Hi
To best answer your question, there are two things to consider. Purely from academic strength - US and UK are good for the program that you are looking for, as most universities in both these countries have strong research in structural engineering and given your percentage, you can make it to good ones.
But, the Civil as a sector is presently down in these countries, which means either your stay back or chances for relevant experience can be quite limited and competitive. From a long term perspective both these countries are best to study as you can use the skills in growing markets such as UAE, where the construction sector is seeing increased activity.
Apart from the above two, you can also look at Universities in Western Australia specifically such as Curtin, University of Western Australia. This part of Australia, presently offers the maximum opportunities in your field.
Alternatively, if it is important for you to gain relevant employment in the short term, then it might be worth looking at studying in the UAE as well. For example, Heriot Watt University in Dubai offers - MSc in Civil and Construction Management with modules in Structures as well - this might be worth exploring.
Hope this helps. If you find the answer useful, please rate it by giving a thumbs up or choosing it as the best answer.

Jeba, it depends on why you want a masters? if you just want a degree then Mtech sounds better. If there is a certain career aim, then pls share since that defines your path. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design and Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching and imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills and imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability.

Hi,
*
After completing diploma in mechanical engineering, you may join lateral B.Tech course in mechanical field instead of civil engineering as it is not a related field. Degree course will open more career opportunities for you.
*
Procedure :
- To take admission, you need to sit for Lateral Entry Entrance Test or LEET which is conducted at state level. Some colleges and Universities too conduct their own lateral entry tests.
- Eligibility for admission to lateral entry course is a minimum aggregate of 60% marks in the Diploma course.
You may directly contact the university officials as lateral entry criteria and admission procedure differs from one college to another.
*
Below is the list of lateral entry colleges :
-Inderprastha Engineering College, Ghaziabad
-Janeta Subash Institute of Technology
-Guru Tegh Bahadur Institute of Technology

Yes this is good course there is many job option are available in this field Civil Engineering is the key to many of the issues affecting our lives today. Civil engineers solve problems, design, build and maintain our living and working spaces. You might design a new stadium, work on a local by-pass or railway line, assess a damaged structure, provide immediate and safe drinking water to a refugee camp, or manage a multi-million pound construction project.
Civil engineering students like all other types of engineering students, study math and science extensively. The vast majority of what civil engineers do is a combination of materials science and physics. A civil engineering student studies to receive their Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree.
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.
