PES University was ranked as the 6th best private university out of 50 universities in India by outlook in 2019. The college is recognized by UGC, AICTE, and AACSB. It is one of the top private universities in Bangalore.

As compared to the previous years, the placements offered at PES University in core companies are fewer in number for the academic year 2019. There were a number of companies that recruited students. But in recent years the placement of the college for the Civil Engineering course has not been up the mark as promised by the college.

Placement Statistics

• In the year 2019, only one core company came to the university for recruiting Civil Engineering students.

• However, the college managed to give around 85% of placements with the highest salary which was offered was Rs 48 LPA and the lowest salary which was offered was Rs 4 LPA.

• The top recruiters that came to college included Deloitte, Amazon, JP Morgan, LinkedIn, Flipkart, Tech Mahindra, Mercedes Benz, Cleartrip, Intel, etc.

Although the core placement is not that impressive for Civil Engineering at PES University, students get decent placement offers from non-core sectors. There are many software companies visiting the campus that recruit Civil Engineering students. The placement packages offered by the non-core companies like IT are generally higher than the average CTC offered by the core companies. The average CTC offered by the IT/Software companies is 10 LPA. Many students also choose to opt for higher education instead of taking any placement offers.

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur (IIEST Shibpur) is the second oldest engineering college in India. It offers 45 courses in Engineering, Management, Science, and Architecture. Admissions are conducted through central exams conducted by UGC like JEE, XAM, etc. IIEST has over 250 faculty members including regular guest faculty. It hosts 4000 students every year for their higher education. Even though the institute is engaged in a number of fields, it is most famous for its B.Tech and M.Tech course of Engineering.

Civil Engineering Department:

The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the oldest departments at IIEST Shibpur. The Civil Engineering course mainly deals with Structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resource engineering, environmental engineering, and transportation engineering.

Mining Engineering Department:

The Department of Mining Engineering at IIEST, Shibpur was the pioneer in imparting Mining Engineering education in the country. Today, it stands as one of the most diverse and vibrant departments encompassing all disciplines within Mining Engineering and associates areas.

Opportunities:

• The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the Government of India recognized Quality Improved Programme Centres associated with research and development activities. The Department undertakes sponsored research from the AICTE, MHRD, UGO, CSIR etc.
• The Department of Mechanical Engineering has regular intense interactions with the industries, which help the students to get abreast of the latest developments.

Courses and Duration:

• The Department of Civil Engineering offers the normal 4-semester daytime course. It also runs a 6-semester self-financed course in Structural, Geotechnical, and Environmental Engineering for those currently working. These courses are conducted in the evening.
• The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a regular 4-semester course. However, there are a number of other courses provided by the college for students who wish to pursue further studies.

Faculty:

• The faculty at the Department of Civil Engineering is exceptional in the terms that they provide students with the knowledge and opportunities required for their career. Many professors have published research papers or are pursuing further research.
• The faculty of Mining Engineering as well is known for its multidisciplinary research skills. They have conducted research in Geometrics, gas extraction, Ergonomics, Remote Sensing, and Mineral Beneficiation. They have also secured research grants over the last few years and look to expand their research by involving students as well.

The table given below gives a brief overview of both the institutes:

Thus it depends entirely upon the student and their interest in Civil or Mechanical Engineering that will help them choose a course. While it is important to mark these differences, any course or college can be the best for the student if he/she knows how to utilize the opportunity completely.

Before looking into civil engineering in specific within these colleges, Amity is definitely much more renowned than Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangalore. Considering the NIRF ranking of Amity over past years, which always managed to stay around 30, it is one of the top private institutes in India. On the other hand, Acharya is known to be a good college in Bangalore city.

Fee Structure:

How good the college might be one will always take the fee amount into consideration before selecting the college.

The average annual fee in Amity is around INR 3.11 Lakhs and that of Acharya is also around INR 3 Lakhs. But the first year fee in Acharya is around 6 lakhs while for the rest of the years being around INR 1.8 Lakhs. The overall amount remains nearly the same, it’s about affordability here.

Placements:

Getting placed in a core company from campus is rare sight unless you’re in the premier institutes. It’s not the case with Amity. There are around 11 companies specifically recruiting civil engineering graduates.

• While there are some civil department-specific placements in AIT, students mostly get placed in IT and Software companies.

• The Average package at AIT is around 7 LPA, it’s around 4.5 LPA at Amity, considering 1700 placed students and 525 recruiters for that year, and those are some good placement stats.

• Few core companies that recruit from Amity are Eleation, ZTE, Gemalto, etc.

Amity also has a Departmental Research cell concentrating on various aspects of civil engineering and its recent advances.

So, if one is choosing between AIT and Amity, it’s a clear choice that going with Amity would result in better opportunities and Core company placements. The presence of a research cell facility is always a welcome addition for students looking for higher studies after B. Tech.

To get into IIT Bhubaneswar civil engineering you need to get through a written exam and an interview. After receiving the call letter from IIT Bhubaneswar, make travel arrangements, and reach there a day before, get settled properly before the written exam/ interview. You should study and prepare only for that subject for which you are being called. Mostly in interviews, they don’t ask Maths and Aptitude so you can skip it, but prepare your core subject properly.
