Shiksha All Time Q&A

As the time is passing, the pace of Urbanization is also increasing which in turn demands construction of more buildings for residences, factories, power plants, storage facilities and lot more. So, as the demand for construction increases, demand for civil engineers should increase but the placement reports show something else. Most of the colleges shown lesser placements for civil in comparison to other branches. Even premier institutes like IITs and NITs faced the same situation. Many of the civil students opt for IT or consulting jobs as they don't get placed in core companies. But, only placements don't define scope of any branch. Most of the constructions done are by independent builder or group of builders. So, most of the civil engineers are employed independently outside the placements. So civil has an okayish scope for now and will have the same for coming years.

Doing the last two years, or you might say the most important years of engineering in a foreign-affiliated university might be more advantageous and will give you hand over other students. Also, this will be a very high and a strong point on your resume. Not only for a CV or resume point of view but also give you a wide view of the engineering and the out world and how things work in foreign universities. Believe it or not, but foreign universities have better facilities and better labs than some of the institutes. If the university has the better labs than the ones where you are currently and have a good edge then you should definitely go for it. Also having a certification of the future university is a plus point. Some of the Indian colleges have the curriculum of what they call semester-long internships. In this, the students can go to a foreign university or a company or any other relevant institute of their domain.

Both the colleges have a great mix of domestic and International students with the highest grades and talents, there is boy to girl ratio of 3:1 at both colleges showing that females are given great opportunities and promoted to become future leaders. Females have been assigned community based platforms to upgrade and make them competitive with every other student. Faculty is highly diversified with rich experiences across various sectors and some notable industry lords have been assigned guest lectures to bring in valuable practical inputs where students can apply them in various business cases. The college promotes women cell to make them powerful and competitive in today world. The international immersion programme help students understand various socio cultural factors and learn from diverse background based professors across the globe with great insights.

For NASA, you need to pursue aeronautical engineering, but most importantly, you must have following things:-
- Have skills NASA needs. Computer knowledge helps, but NASA doesn't use all computers and is amazingly computer phobic at various levels
- Join the Indian Space programme. Work on joint projects and in an exchange capacity. The closest NASA Office in Asia is in US Embassy in Tokyo. - Being an aeronautical (vs. an aerospace) engineer is tough. About "90%" of the aeronautical market is the design of transport aircraft of all type, and a lot of people regard that as a "solved" area which had many wind tunnels replaced by computers. You must be able to solve the top 10% problem sets including technical topics to increase fuel economy, etc. - Most importantly, permanent residency and citizenship of US
For ISRO you can join ISRO in both the following ways, the post you will work for initially is scientist "B"
ISRO comes to your college campus for placements. But they go to a very limited number of institutions for direct placements. You can get in ISRO by cracking good rank in GATE exam.

The college has a reputation maintained for excellence in the course offered particularly for undergraduate courses. The placements are higher in almost every branch. For civil engineering branch, one can expect an average placement package of around Rs 4 Lacs considering the placement record in the year 2016. Also, the highest placement package obtained by a student of the batch 2017 in the civil department was Rs 17.5 Lacs by VGN which happened to take only 4 students from the whole batch. The number of core companies coming for placements in the college is less for the civil department. The reason why I would not recommend you to go for admission in the college particularly in the civil branch unless you don't have any other better option to pursue civil engineering.

N first one, at least one good company visits your campus. In this case, you need to make sure you are among the top 3-5 of your batch to get selected by the company. You also need a strong understanding of fundamentals of the subjects and skills related to the field. If no good company comes to your campus then you have to rely on networking. Start forming your network on sites like LinkedIn from start. Try and get internships from well-reputed companies. Perform well at those internships. As I already mentioned, develop your skill set. For example Auto-Cad or Solid-works for mechanical engineers or C+, Python for CSE engineers. Make sure you become better than everyone else in some particular sub field/ sub-branch then you would have better chances of getting placed.

Some of the reputable names are Huawei, Ericsson, IBM, VMware, Cisco with international offers as well. Training and placement cell of the university achieved noticeable success in helping the students to reach their avenues. A total of 506 students have been successfully placed with attractive salary packages in reputed national and international organizations during last academic session. Average Salary is 4 LPA and median is 6 LPA. The highest salary varies every year and hence the below link would give deep drill down insights about how students have received offers from various sectors and bifurcated according to their specialisation.
