TOP SKILLS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING GRADUATES/STUDENTS
(BOTH FRESHER AND EXPERIENCED)
CIVIL ENGINEERING
One of the oldest and broadest engineering courses in the world. For civil engineers, there are opportunities in both private and public organizations. They can rule in any country. They tend to serve the state and central government jobs.
“THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION “
WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING?
Civil engineering is the mother of all branches. Civil engineers plan, design and construct it means the theory of structural analysis, the strength of materials, drawing, mathematics, surveying, mechanics, concrete technology, analysis and design of RC elements etc..,
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CIVIL DEGREE?
This branch mainly focuses on construction. It includes facilities essentials to modern life like buildings, airports, schools, hospitals, tunnels, bridges, sewage systems, pipelines, canals, dams, canals, etc. The history of civil engineering is connected to the knowledge of structures, materials, science, geography, soils, hydrology, and other fields, etc.
CAREER PROSPECTS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING GRADUATES/STUDENTS
Civil engineering graduates have a good career in areas like construction, estimation and preparation of drawing. The major construction projects took by the state government, central government, railways, military, engineering services etc..,. They have another chance like Higher Studies, MBA, Entrepreneurship and GATE. By getting a good score in gate exam you will be placed in any state or central government company and public service undertakings (PSU’s). To be placed in any organization you have to specialize in any one of the streams like consulting civil engineer, structural engineer, site engineer, construction manager, quantity surveyor, contracting civil engineer, CAD technician etc.
