Which institute is better amongst RICS, CPM and NICMAR for management after graduating in civil?

When I saw your question, I recalled my experience. Two years ago, I decided to pursue an MBA in Construction Project Management. Though I wanted to pursue it from the best institution for my best professional development, and therefore, I started researching about it. The two most prominent names that came in front of me were RICS SBE and NICMAR. It was a huge dilemma for me; hence, I started in-depth research about these two colleges and took consultancy from my friends and teachers. During this research, I came across the most important facts, which helped me in decision making, and I would love to share those with you. So, I got to know that RICS SBE is backed by a professional body, whereas NICMAR has only received a UNDP grant. In detail, RICS maintains the highest standards in the built environment sector by enforcing the rules and policies. It also accredits over 650 courses in reputed universities across the globe. Hence, RICS SBE programs with RICS accreditation also possess the highest quality of education as per the international standards, which are valued immensely worldwide. Thus, as an institution backed by a professional body, RICS SBE focuses on research that contributes to the development of India's built environment sector. RICS SBE also plays a crucial role in the Real Estate Regulation programme (RERA) and got several invitations to participate in programs related to the built environment. Hence, this college, in its best capacity, focuses on the professional development of its students by following the highest academic standards. On the other hand, NICMAR is only allowed to involve in academics from MIT, USA, University of Michigan, IIMA, and other institutes in India. Another reason that attracted me to RICS SBE is its International Mobility. Once the students enroll in one of the RICS SBE programs, they can immediately gain an Associate RICS membership. This will help them to avail themselves of the widespread network of industry professionals. This membership network enables the student to be viewed at a global level and not merely limited to any geography. Therefore, this membership benefits come in handy when you work on international projects. On the other hand, NICMAR has signed an MOU with the American Society of Civil Engineers to promote mutual interest activities, including ASCE/NICMAR seminars. Through this MOU comes with benefits but not as many benefits as RICS SBE possesses. Hence, my go-to choice is only RICS SBE.

Hello Aman, I think NICMAR is the best college for management in civil. Their contribution in civil education is not comparable. I would suggest you to choose NICMAR amongst them.

Both are excellent institutions. NICMAR has contributed a lot to the construction industry in India and RICS is a global institution, the world's leading professional qualification and standard setting body for the real estate and construction sector with 185,000 members in 146 countries around the world. So around the world, you will find RICS qualified members working in top positions in top companies around the world. So, what Chartered accountants are to the accounting profession, RICS is to the world of real estate and construction and is the leading chartered professional qualification globally and a passport for a global career. To become a Member of the RICS, the first step in your journey that you need is an RICS accredited degree and the RICS School of Built environment, Amity University are RICS accredited courses(these are the only RICS accredited courses in India) where RICS itself is providing its expertise in helping the university deliver these programs. Now coming to RICS SBE, not only do we have excellent faculty, but we being a global institution, we have linkages to all the top real estate and construction companies in India and around the world and have our members working in all these companies. So, we have the ability to provide exceptional placements to our students. In addition to this, we also have exchange programs with various universities around the world including the University of Salford, Ulster University etc which enables our students to do exchange programs with these universities and go and study a semester with that university and also get a certificate from them. Coming specifically to our placements, all major developers, contractors, banks, housing finance institutions are committed to hiring from RICS SBE(not just in India but also internationally) and have hired from us. Look at all the top professionals in India of top firms like JLL, CBRE, C& W, Knight Frank, Arcadis, Turner Townsend, Currie & Brown, DLF, Tata Housing, Godrej Properties, Sobha, Prestige, L& T, Shapoorji, Leighton etc and look at their leaders and you will see that they all have our designation. Hopefully the above answers your queries. Should you have any further queries, please feel free to revert back us at ricssbe@rics.org.
