It totally depends on the kind of profile you have. Your goals and preferences will determine if you should join NICMAR or not. Though NICMAR has been graded as a good college and the faculty is nice. The hands-on experience one gets is exceptional. 

However, if the salary is your concern, you should rethink your decision because the average package offered here is INR 6.75 LPA. You can choose based on what your long-term goal is, what your profile is, and where you want to work. NICMAR has very good faculties and gives you a good workshop experience.

For female Civil Engineering graduates, is it worth studying in NICMAR?

TA

Lives in New Delhi

The placement record of NICMAR is not 100%, but still impressive at 85%. However, the number of companies visiting the campus has reduced after Demonetization, which is a concern for a candidate’s placement prospects. Having work experience is an advantage, but it is not a deal-breaker as some freshers with ordinary CGPA have also secured good placements.

The decision to study at NICMAR should depend on one's confidence in their skills, as it is considered the best techno-management college in the country, with updated courseware that meets industry demands. The campus life is also vibrant, with many activities and clubs.

There is no bias towards female students at NICMAR, and they comprise about 25-30% of the total strength.

NICMAR offers various courses related to the construction industry, such as construction management, project management, real estate management, etc. which are unique in the industry but for the degree to be allowed in some foreign country it all depends on that countries rules and weather the country recognize the degrees of India because each country has their own way and system of evaluating foreign educational degrees and they might require some additional certification or qualification.

How do I get into NICMAR?

SB
Sachin Beriwal Posted On : May 18th, 2023

To gain admission into NICMAR, you should:

  • First inquire about the exam dates and application process from the college authority. 
  • Then write the written exam and score higher than the cut-off.
  • Participate in a group discussion, and attend a personal interview.
  • If your performance so far has been acceptable, then you will be able to get into NICMAR. 

Do not choose NICMAR, as the institute has lost its value in the industry due to the current management's focus on business rather than students' placements. 

For example, there was a student pursuing the ACM course in Goa who was not placed during campus placement and was only offered a job off-campus for a package of 3 lakh rupees, which is pretty low. This suggests that the current market scenario in the construction industry is not favorable, and big companies are cutting costs and minimizing resources. Investing in NICMAR might not be financially beneficial. Look into a quantity estimation course in Hyderabad instead.
