Has the scope of Civil Engineering changed with time?

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.

India has been a developing country since many years and hence is still developing at a progressive pace than before. Henceforth, it is apparent that there are more number of developmental programs and spaces are designed and exploited to make use of them for the propelling civil growth. Since civil engineering is a discipline that encompasses the fields of design and construction of physically made built structures such as bridges, roads, dams, canals and huge residential and commercial buildings, it is obliviously possible that there are more such constructions and designs in future leading a way to the rise of civil engineering in India. Also, the propelling growth for civil engineering and other metro and top notch cities are the proving concepts for this argument that there is a robust future for civil engineering in India. With Make in India and digitized projects, the growth phase is expected to be exponentially high, hence would match supply demand gap thereby increasing scope in near future. All the best.

Hi there, Civil engineering is considered to be an evergreen branch of engineering which has immense scope. Civil engineering is a very fast growing branch in India. Till the year 2020, 400,000 professional civil engineers are required for jobs in civil engineering sector, but only 60,000 civil engineers are available. Indian government need civil engineers in a huge amount, but due to lack of the civil engineering professionals, governments are delaying their work. Today were are going to talk about civil engineering as a career in India. For B.Tech graduates, the average salary is INR 15000/- per month in private sector, but the thing is most of the companies offer food and accommodation if you are a site engineer. If you are from Tier-I colleges, prefer to go for a government job or a design company where you may get better salary. Hope this helps. All the best.
