You can still make a good career for yourself even if you do not have the requisite marks in 10th/12th.

But you should know that 5-7% of companies at NICMAR, consider 60% to 75% criteria for filtering out resumes. This helps them to reduce the number of students for interviewing during the placement process.

However, if you have good scores in graduation and MBA and break the stereotype of the average person with your consistency, reliability, communication skills, and intellect, then 8 out of 10 times your 12th percentage % will not matter.

My friend had scored 55% and was placed just after his second interview. He got through a 6-stage-placement-process of CBRE: a Fortune 500 company.

Basically, it has been seen over years that getting a question paper would be difficult as the officials usually take the question paper back once the exam gets over. 

If you have applied for NCAT, you will get a mail from the college regarding the call letter for the entire admission process and in that they attach the link for the sample paper. Otherwise doing R.S. Agarwal is the best option for preparation.

Lastly, we can say that do not rely only on sample paper, start practicing and they attach the link for the sample paper so that you get an idea regarding the same.

Frankly, NICMAR Pune and NICMAR Hyderabad are incomparable, since they are both somewhat in the same range. 

• NICMAR was first established in Pune, following which the Hyderabad campus came into view. 
• NICMAR Hyderabad is only a branch of the main campus situated in Pune. 
• The Pune campus unquestionably is treated as a better choice than Hyderabad. 
• Other than that, the curriculum and pedagogy of both institutes remain almost identical. 
• However, if talking about the campus physically, then NICMAR Hyderabad is several times larger than the former. 
• Shifting the focus to the placement scenario of both the institutes, you must note that companies visit campus in accordance with their regional benefits. 
• Quite clearly, the Hyderabad campus would actually obtain recruiters that are located around the region of the institute, while Pune will receive offers from recruiters around Pune itself. 
• However, the offers from MNCs remain almost in the same range for both institutes.

Therefore, the only visible point of difference is that the local companies visiting each campus vary on a larger scale. Apparently, that is exactly where the count of companies eventually alters. 

After the completion of the first year, you can apply for internships for which you need to appear for an interview session alongside a written exam. It is usually based upon Aptitude and English, apart from subjects taught in NICMAR. During this time, you can practice for the final placements.

1. It is best if you practice the aptitude and reasoning section of RS Agarwal as it is one of the most preferable books.
2. Having a broad knowledge base in the core civil engineering topics is one of the most significant parts of the NICMAR syllabus. 
3. NICMAR interview processes include a group discussion which mandates good communication skills. Even if you are not perfect in communication skills, the institute will help you in improving the same.
4. Keep a good academic track record for a 100% reimbursement.

NICMAR also has a plethora of extracurricular activities to distract one from the flow. It is upon you to manage your time and execute your aim. It is suggested that you prepare thoroughly when you still can. 

NICMAR is a premium institute in the domain of Construction and Project Management education. It has been in business education for the last 30 years.

Not only students but several top construction firms visit the campus for educational and consulting purposes likewise. NICMAR has marked its presence in the industrial arena since a long time ago when similar institutions lacked a specific area of study exactly like it. With the emergence of various similar branches, the alumni network broadly grew across the country, alongside the Middle East as well. 

NICMAR has enjoyed a vast advantage because it stepped onto the market very early. It also offers decent placement offers. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA.

Quite apparently, RICS and other similar institutes such as Symbiosis really have to put up with great competition to sustain their value in the market.

Actually, all of the subjects have something that will be used in the future and that you must prepare for.

Concentrate on your fundamental civil engineering subjects, such as Concrete Technology and building materials. These topics will help you prepare for interviews if you are applying for specific positions in large real estate companies. 

For REUIM, you don't need to focus on any of the civil engineering-specific disciplines, in order to get admission. REUIM provides a better balance of electives, such as corporate real estate management, real estate negotiations, and asset management, among others. The rest of the numerous subjects are shared by all branches.

An experience of 4.5 years is excellent in its own way. Just be sure about your current and expected CTC during the placement process. 

Getting the same CTC even after the post-graduation would be a waste of time. It's a gamble if you're willing to make it. There are students who join just after two years of experience and get better pay, so should you after your 4 years of experience.

If you wish to join to learn, then go ahead, but if the salary is your only concern, then rethink your decision twice.
