Yes, NICMAR provides international internships to its students. The institute has collaborations with international universities and organizations, which offer opportunities for its students to gain international exposure and work experience.
NICMAR's international internship program aims to provide students with a global perspective and enhance their skills and knowledge in the field of construction management and research. Students who participate in these programs get the opportunity to work with reputed organizations and learn about the latest trends and best practices in the industry. The institute also provides support in terms of visas, travel, and accommodation arrangements for students who opt for international internships.
It is a bit easy to get into NICMAR but this doesn't mean that you will take the entrance exam very casually. I have seen various people who have tried more than three times to get enrolled in NICMAR Pune.
You have to be sincere with the preparation and work hard. Prepare from RS Aggarwal for the Aptitude section because it is more than enough. Don't spend much time on the Quant because it is going to be a lengthy process. Rather you can solve questions on topics you are already confident enough as it would be helpful.
For the interview process, dress up properly and be confident. Don't be nervous because the interviewers observe your body language.
Moreover, NICMAR offers sponsored seats with 5% seats reserved for the management quota. If you are unable to crack the entrance exam, you can get a seat through this quota. The only condition will to be pay 1.5 times more fee than a regular student.
NICMAR provides its candidates with a good range of job opportunities. They provide plenty of opportunities for one to land a high-profile career in the construction industry.
At the final placement and for the summer internships, the world’s leading companies visit NICMAR. The course and curriculum at NICMAR are designed and updated as per the industry requirements. During the course, you will be trained in many latest project management software, which will eventually help you in career excellence.
So joining NICMAR will pave the way to get good career opportunities. But you will also need to put genuine effort to secure good job opportunities.
At NICMAR, there is no such thing as the best course. All courses are at par in terms of job profiles, packages, recruiters, and others. However, PGP ACM is the flagship program by the institute.
PGP REUIM course recorded stellar placements in the past year with the top recruiters like KPMG, L&T Realty, Oberoi, PwC, Samsung, and CBRE. Recently, even PGP IFDM students had performed exceptionally well.
In the end, it depends upon your knowledge and skills. Decide based on the course curriculum rather than peeping into the placement statistics, as it is subject to the caliber of the batch each year.
NICMAR has existed for more than 30 years and is a pioneer institute in construction management. The curriculum has been specifically designed to cater to the future requirements of construction managers.
The faculty members are exceptionally great in terms of industrial experience. A few subjects might seem easy but they will add great value to your career. However, NICMAR is not under any university but is well-known in India and Middle-Eastern regions. The only advantage is that it is practical-oriented to the students.
If you wish to join any construction management institute, it will be recommended to have atleast 2 years of industrial experience. You will be able to grasp the concepts easily.
Yes, you can take a loan and study at NICMAR as it is worth the risk. But it is entirely your decision. People who come to the university and work hard do receive decent opportunities.
One of my friends joined the institute a few years back. He took a 10.5 lakh education loan from CREDILA. He was also uncertain about his decision. But after completing his course he is certain, he made the right choice. He made the most of his time at the institute and scored 6.92 CPI. Which provided him with a lot of decent opportunities.
My friend had joined the Advanced Construction Management (ACM )branch in NICMAR, I'd suggest that you join it as well.
In his ACM class, there were 6 architects and in total there were 60–100 architects in NICMAR. Architects are required in abundance too. They have a good scope in the future and many well-known companies need architects for their multi-role profiles. Many interior design companies require specialized designers for interiors.
Also, there are only a few architects in the college so chances of getting a placement are higher. So definitely go join and fulfill your goals.
Post Graduate Program in Advanced Construction Management (PGP-ACM) is the best course offered at NIMCAR.
The Pune campus is the best among all as the placements are great there. However, the Hyderabad campus is also not bad if not better than the Pune campus. The faculty is top-notch as well.
It is highly unlikely to get a shift from Hyderabad to Pune. You may like the Pune campus but the Hyderabad campus is also really good and you should not worry much about which campus you are getting.
I know people who did their Construction Management from NICMAR as well as other countries. Doing your Construction Management course has its advantages as you will learn about things related to construction in India. However, if you pursue your course from Canada, you will get more exposure, new concepts, techniques.

These are the things that you should consider before deciding where you want to pursue your degree from.
There is a clear demarcation between the both. Project management is basically preparing a student for the project industry whereas advanced construction management is related to construction projects.
Lastly, we can say that there is a clear difference between the two courses, so search for the same before taking admission in any of the fields.
