Civil Engineering is both about fieldwork and design/desk jobs, depending on the specific career profile and the career stage that you're at. Some Civil Engineering jobs like Civil Design Engineer are more about office work, where you are involved in CAD software designs and blueprints for construction projects. On the other hand, job roles like Site Engineer or Construction Engineer are field-focused where you need to spend a major chunk of the time on construction sites overseeing progress and quality of work done for the project.

Several factors affect the Civil Engineering course fee structure like the course level; the college where you're planning to take up the course; whether it is a private college or owned by the government; the college ranking and reputation; the college location and other infrastructural and placement facilities. Extra charges like hostel facilities, mess charges, the application fee, and the exam fee further add to the overall Civil Engineering course fees.

The average Civil Engineering course fees at top colleges are somewhere around INR 3 Lacs to INR 15 lakh, which differ based on the course level and the college offering the program. The fees are slightly higher for private Civil Engineering colleges than government colleges with the IITs and NITs being an exception, of course. The fee structure involves various components like the tuition fee, college application fee, hostel charges, semester exam registration fee, lab fee, caution money, and other miscellaneous charges.

The Civil Engineering course duration differs on the basis of the course level at which you're planning to pursue the course. For UG courses like BTech/B.E in Civil Engineering, the general duration is 4 years while for PG courses you need to invest at least 2 years. You can also go for a 3 year Civil Engineering Diploma after Class 10 or short term certifications that last 1 year or less. For students interested in a PhD in Civil Engineering, the time span is 3 to 5 years in general.

After completing your BTech degree you can land some decent paying Civil Engineering jobs across various industries like construction, urban planning, real estate, surveying and land management, equipment manufacturing and power and energy. Some popular career options after BTech Civil Engineering are given below for your reference:

• Consulting Civil Engineer
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Technician
• Contractual Civil Engineer
• Site Engineer
• Water Resources Engineer
• Structural Engineer
• Geotechnical Engineer
• Construction Engineer

An Aeronautical Engineering degree definitely gives you a strong understanding of aircraft systems and aerodynamics but it is not sufficient for you to become a pilot. To qualify for a pilot position you need specialised flight training, a specific number of accumulated flight hours, a pilot license and to meet certain medical fitness standards.

Aeronautical Engineering is a fast growing field with technological advancements taking place every day, where aeronautical engineers need a strong hold over CAD software like CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.; programming proficiency in Python, C+, and MATLAB for aircraft system analysis and development; and other specialised engineering software systems like CAE for system modeling and simulations.

Of course. Aeronautical engineers can easily find high-paying job roles in the defense, space research, and automobile sectors where they can put their skills to use for the research, design, analysis, and maintenance of high-tech systems and high-performance vehicles, including military aircraft, drones, missiles, and satellites.

While not directly, aeronautical engineers can use their engineering skills in the automotive industry as well like for Formula 1 racing looking after its aerodynamics and high-speed vehicle performance.
