What is the scope of civil engineering?

Civil engineering has quite a beautiful scope in India. But remember, you will have to be patient. And I can explain why.!! Civil engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with people, civilization of a country, their needs and basic facilities. So as long as there are humans and as long as we have natural phenomenon like earthquakes and tornadoes civil engineers will be required. Just take an example of a routine life of Mr. Sharma. He wakes up in the morning brushes his teeth, takes showers, has breakfast, goes to office, works over there, has lunch, again works, comes back to home, has fun with family, has lunch, watches TV and then goes to bed. Now in above example, he wants water for his morning activities, it has been indicated that if people do not get morning water supply their whole day is disturbed. He needs public transportation or roads to travel everyday to anywhere. His kids should have a nearby school. He needs electricity which is generated by hydro-power or nuclear or thermal or solar or wind. To produce that electricity we need some giant or small scale structures, to transmit that electricity we need some poles located at certain distance. He should have food to eat, so we need good farming and irrigation systems. To have better irrigation we should have Canals and good water supply. To dispose of his waste he should have better sewer system. And so on. So as you can see, majority of the task, directly or indirectly, require civil engineering. India is a developing country, there are still many places where people are not getting good quality of water to drink, nor do they have electricity, nor do they have safer houses (Nepal earthquake), people need roads to commute, mega cities need better transportation solutions, people need better standard of living. Now tell me how much more scope are you looking for? What we have to do is get some innovative ideas, once these innovative and cost effective ideas start snowballing, there is no stopping to it. Now why don't anyone in civil engineering get a job easily? How many times did we see layman's interaction with civil engineering. Well every moment. If you just graduated from bachelor's or Masters you are still in a stage of accepting the theories and not the practicality and it's importance of safety.

Amongst all branches of engineering, the range and application of civil engineering is the broadest and the most visible. One has to plan out, design and supervise the construction of different types of buildings and architectures. There is huge demand for civil engineers in India and it is also expected to get a boost as the country gets ready to upgrade its infrastructure with growing economic and political clout in the world. The career opens a lot of opportunities in numerous government department. Civil engineers are employed in all major construction projects carried out by central and state government agencies. The scope of bright career increases with good knowledge of mathematics and science. Also having good supervisory and administrative skills is beneficial.
