Engineering is one of the most important fields in the world today; and civil engineering is the one that is at the foremost and can get you a job easily. It is the oldest branch which is still one of the relevant ones. With new buildings springing up every day, there are scores of jobs for civil engineers- graduates fresh and experienced alike, can easily find a job that is to their liking. Therefore, it is not hard to believe the high demand to join for a civil engineering course today. The job aspects come from small contractors to large ones; government agencies such as PWD, etc; consultancies and what not. The top companies include Shapoorji & Pallonji, Shobha Developers, L&T, DLF; and the list is endless. The fact i understood is that ones profile must be good. Every student undergoes internship during their course and for you to be outstanding and to get an upper hand in placements it is always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course.
Most people consider civil engineering to be about building skyscrapers and bridges. But it is not that alone. It is one of the vastest subjects today and include so may aspects and specializations to it. It is not called the mother of engineering just for the heck of it.
One of the most common aspects would be construction engineering and management; in which everything regarding construction is dealt with. Various management techniques and how it is carried out are addressed. This is the aspect that people are most familiar with. People are used to civil engineers hard in hard hats holding various drawings and leading construction teams.
Structural engineering is the facet of civil engineering that has made the skyscrapers possible. Structural engineers make sure that all the elements of a building, dam, or any such structure, are strong enough to do the designated work. Transportation engineering is the part in which road design and traffic analysis are done. It is where all the basic planning for the country's transport system is done. Geotechnical engineering deals with soil and rock, and how they affect construction, and it also deals with landscaping and ground improvement. Geotechnical engineering also is used to help design and maintain tunnels and underground structures. Water resources engineering is another aspect of civil engineering which is gaining importance. It deals with anything and everything related to water. Environmental engineering has come into huge importance today due to lack of waste management and their affects on the environment.
It is no wonder that the need for civil engineers has grown considerably in the last few years thanks to the growing needs of the present generation. The scope of civil engineering is vast; with so many specializations to choose from and so many jobs to pick from. And the oldest branch is not going to go out of fashion any time soon...
You can also go for higher studies such as M.Tech or MS to make your career firm. But If you are going for M.Tech i highly recommend to do it in IIT's and NIT's. You can also do MS in India and abroad as well. M.Tech mainly consists of engineering while MS consists of engineering and research (a lot). The scope of doing MS abroad is so high (especially in Europe). The facility is great and the research over there is too good. The basic criteria to do MS abroad is writing Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and get a good score. Next is English proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL etc. Get atleast 6.5 out of 9 to get admission in colleges abroad. To do MS is US or Uk is too high and it is not easy to extend your visa after your course. But you can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.
