Question

Vinay kr Pandey · Answer

Dear aspirant, Glad to meet you. Yes it is good choice. B.Tech Civil Engineering is a four-year undergraduate course that deals with the study of materials, structural design, construction, technologies, software, and all other fundamentals in civil engineering. Students completing the B.Tech Civil Engineering course can work in the construction industry and top companies in multiple fields. Some of them are site engineers, consulting civil engineers, water engineers, design engineers, aerospace industry, shipping industry, and transport engineer. Career opportunities after B.Tech Degree Civil Engineering are plenty because of the sheer number of available sub-specializations and how demanding these roles are. On successful completion of B.Tech in Civil Engineering, graduates can choose to take up government jobs. Some of them are: Bharat Services Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL) Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) The private sector companies also offer jobs for B.Tech Civil Engineering graduates. These jobs are in the following fields: Housing Complexes Aerospace Infrastructure.

Civil Engineers generally work in a variety of locations and conditions. It is common for them to split their time between working in an office and working outdoors at construction sites so that they can monitor operations or solve problems onsite. Now to work in multilingual environment, there is a high requirement of exposure to both National & International platform at the time of your pursuance of course itself. So in my opinion, it's better to grab the opportunity of International Exposure provided by the University. I am not sure about the offerings of other Universities, but being alumni of Lovely Professional University, I must assure you about such offerings of LPU itself. LPU's International transfer option allows students to pursue the terminal semester/year of their degree and further receive the final Degree Certificate from the foreign partner university only. At the same time student can go for Summer/Winter School, Semester Exchange. Lovely Professional University is the only private university in India that has attained the NABL accreditation in the field of mechanical testing of building and construction materials. School has 1000+ number of students who are involved in different research trials throughout the year. There is Huge diversity of Student Both National & International (FROM 28 STATES & 40+ COUNTRIES). School of Civil Engineering offers Contemporary Curriculum, Professional Enhancement, Industry Immersion, Domestic & International Projects, Regular Industrial Visit, Interdisciplinary Minors, Innovative Pedagogy. LPU is having Tie Ups with Civil Industry which resulted into Content Delivery by Industry Experts, Projects in collaboration with Industry. Last Year's Placement Scenario (Till date in spite of Pandemic situation) : Majority students are on internships subject to PPO (Pre-Placement Offer) in the best brands like Larsen & Tubro Ltd. , Simplex Infrastructure pvt Ltd. , Gammon India, National Highway Authority of India, HCC, Shapoorji & Pallonji, DLF Homes, RITES Ltd. , NCC, SAIL, DMRC BHEL etc. The highest package offered till date - 31 LPA (Code Nation) Hope this helps !

Dear Kunal, Yes, it is a good choice to pursue B.Tech in Civil if you have an interest in the construction field. My sister did B.Tech in Civil from LPU and working as a construction engineer in an MNC. As a Civil Engineer, you can take up career options in the diverse fields such as Building control surveyor, CAD technician, Consulting civil engineer, Contracting civil engineer, Design engineer, Nuclear engineer, Site engineer, Structural engineer, Water engineer, Rural and Urban Transport engineer. The following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: - 1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also. 2. The capstone project is an integral part of B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills. 3. There is an internship programme which could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option. 4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you. 5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives. 6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few. 7. Career oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. None the less, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is prerequisite for any Civil Engineer. I hope this helps Thanks!

Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is considered the second-the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies. The following are popular civil engineering jobs for freshers that are offered by various companies: Civil Engineer Structural Engineer Project Lead Survey Engineer Design Engineer Materials Specialist Project Engineer. If you are looking for best university for CE course, I would say Lovely professional University is best University to pursue this course. Lovely Professional University is one of the best institutes for engineering in the state of Punjab. So if a degree in B.Tech (Civil engineering) is what you seek, I suggest that you do consider LPU. I have sound reasons to actually make this suggestion. Actually I did MBA from Lovely Professional University but I have one friend who has done B.Tech Civil Engineering From LPU. He told me B.Tech in civil engineering course involves so much more than theoretical know-how. In addition to classroom lectures, students here learn via hands-on experiences which include site visits, lab sessions and so on. PPTs, animations and similar technological techniques are a regular part of classroom teaching too.
