Which IIT is better for civil, IIT Indore or IIT Patna?
IIT Indore is one of the leading new IITs that has made its name because of its multiple achievements. Here is exactly why you should give more preference to IIT Indore than IIT Patna.
- The faculties are very approachable and cooperative. They guide you to do projects and even motivate you for research work. Additionally, they teach you tactics to clear GRE and GATE for top universities and PSU respectively. Such kind of guidance isn’t available at every institute.
- The faculty-to-student ratio is great around 12 - 13 faculties for 40 students. This helps the students to get individual attention from faculty who track the personal and individual growth of every student.
- IIT Indore has ties with the University of Stuttgart, Germany enabling students to do internships in the second year.
- The students' demands are given due importance and the HODs bring all necessary changes demanded by the students to make things easy.
- IIT Indore being new has top-notch labs with all modern equipment and instruments.
In all, IIT Indore is a great choice for Civil Engineering.
How is NIT Surathkal and Warangal placements for Civil Engineering?
Civil is about learning and getting skills rather than getting placed with good packages. India is in desperate need of qualified civil engineers. Not every Civil Engineering graduate is skilled enough and yet is employed as an engineer leading to failure of structure and accidents. So your primary goal is to be knowledgeable and skilled rather than running after placements. There is also a huge scope of research outside India. Here are the placement statistics of the Civil Engineering branch of NIT Surathkal

Ultimately, bear in mind that you won’t be earning much initially as a civil engineer but with the passage of time you will earn a lot in terms of money and respect both.
Which is the better choice, IIIT Sri City or IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering?
Here IIEST Shibpur will be a better choice for civil engineering as it is one of the oldest civil engineering colleges in our country and has improved a lot since its inception.
Batch Size:
One of my friends goes to IIEST, according to him the Civil Department has more than 100 students in a single batch.
Faculty:
The faculty of the civil engineering department is experienced, knowledgeable, and are highly qualified. They are great at teaching the concepts and are nice and friendly too. However, faculties sometimes tend to use Bangali while teaching, which is difficult to follow for out-of-state students.
Campus Life:
The campus is also very beautiful and the lifestyle at college is very lively. The hostel also provides many services and a student can decide the menu for their lunch and dinner.
Collaborations:
IIEST Shibpur has collaborations with the following institutes.
- University of Queensland
- University of Hiroshima
- Hokkaido University
- University of South Wales
- Zurich University
- California University
- University of Cambridge
So, you can definitely choose IIEST Shibpur for Civil Engineering. But for placements don’t depend entirely on the institute.
How is the placement of the civil engineering and the tech branches at VNIT Nagpur?
I did my M.Tech Civil from VNIT Nagpur. Thus, I can highlight the placement scenario for my specialization (i.e. Transportation Engineering)-
The companies that recruit from VNIT include- AARVEE Associate, LnT ECC, Spectrum Techno Consultants Pvt Ltd, Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation Limited, Onnyx Electronics, JMC Project Ltd, L and T Infra, WSP/Parsons Brinckerhoff, Bajaj Reinforcement LLP, etc.
Apart from this, some educational institutes also visit for recruitments. These are- S R Patel College of Engineering, Sandip University and Sandip Foundation, BASE Educational Services Pvt Ltd, Adyant Education Pvt. Ltd, Franchises of Aakash Educational Services Pvt Ltd, Avanti Fellows, A.R.M.I.E.T. Thane, Ballarpur Institute of Technology (BIT), PT Education, and Sharda Group of Institutions.
Around 80% students are placed, both on campus and off campus. This includes those who crack government exams, or are appointed as assistant professors. Some students opt for higher studies, while some obtain a CGPA< 6.75. Both of those aren’t included in these placement stats.
The placements are decent for M.Tech Civil at VNIT Nagpur. The college workload is quite manageable. This allows students to prepare for and crack government exams.
Which is the best department and subject in IIT Delhi for ESE preparation for civil engineering?
IIT Delhi's Civil Engineering department has a total of 7 branches namely
- Structural Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Water Resources Engineering
- Rock Engineering
- Construction Engineering and Management
The ones that I will recommend you not to join include - Structural, Geotechnical, Transport, and Water Resources. This is because you are planning to prepare for ESE which won’t be possible because of the demanding and rigorous curriculum of these branches.
Construction Engineering and Management is a good choice as the coursework is light in comparison to others. Rock Engineering is another good option but the future scope is limited because it’s not a major branch of Civil Engineering.
The most common choice among aspirants is Environmental Engineering with the least burden and great opportunities.
How is the civil branch at NIT Jalandhar?
To know how the Civil branch at NIT Jalandhar is, we need to consider 3 factors:
-
Academic: The theoretical subjects are well taught by top notch faculty. The labs are however not in very good condition here.
-
Internships: There are not great internship opportunities here. Students themselves are not interested in spending their summers at the site.
-
Placements: L&T is the major recruiter in private companies for civil engineers .For public jobs you need to appear for GATE for PSUs. If you have completed any internship, then placements will be very easy for you.
All in all NIT Jalandhar is a great choice to pursue Civil Engineering.
Is NIT Hamirpur a good college for M.Tech in any specialization of Civil Engineering?
NIT Hamirpur B.Tech Civil Engineering department lacks a research environment and proper lab facilities for both UG and PG programs. As far as academics are concerned, the department is ahead of many NITs. However, the infrastructure and teaching methodology are not in line with new-age requirements. Even the placement scenario for M.Tech Civil at NIT Hamirpur isn't good.
In comparison to other branches, the Department of Environmental Engineering and Energy Resources has better research facilities. For an M.Tech in Civil Engineering, I would like you to try these institutions - IIT Roorkee, BITS, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, NIT Allahabad, and NIT Delhi.
NIT Hamirpur isn’t the best choice for an M.Tech Civil program.
Does Nit Rourkela placement cell allow civil engineering students to sit for computer science engineering placement?
It is not that NIT Rourkela placement cell does not allow Civil Engineering students to sit for CSE placements. The thing is that most software companies that visit the campuses with SDE roles do not allow other branches to sit for their placements. I assume by CSE placements you are referring to IT companies.
Certain top companies like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs and Mathworks allow students from all the branches to sit for their placements. But for most software companies, branch is one of the criteria to filter out those students who can apply. Also, they mostly prefer students from CSE and circuital branches like EI, EC and EE.
The reason being that students from these branches work with codes more often and are well-versed in programming languages. The same is imperative for working in IT companies. However, it is also true that many students in other branches love to code and wish to work in these IT firms.
NIT Rourkela has no control over the criteria set by various IT companies and you will have to check the same before planning to sit for the placement of any IT firm.
