How is the placement of civil engineering at MSU Baroda?
The answer is below average. The placements are not ideal, but this depends on several factors.
The primary thing is you should possess first class (60%) in aggregate (or 60% in each semester for 1-2 companies like tata motors.). As is well known, MSU's results are not as good as those of other universities, with only 50-60% of students receiving first-class honors (60% or higher). In other universities, you can easily get 80-85%.
Everyone says that MSU attracts a large number of MNC companies for recruitment. However, there are only 3-4 nice MNCs that offer nice packages and recruit only 3-5 students. They don't always hire any of the students. The maximum package is approximately 5-5.5 LPA. On average, you can get a package of 3-4 LPA. Then there are some other companies that offer you between 2.5 and 3.5 LPA. There are 2-3 non-core companies that recruit with average packages ranging from 2.5 to 4 LPA. Score high and strive to remain in the top 15-20. Your chances of being placed would improve.
Does NIT Surathkal have a good placement record for civil engineers?
There is very little demand for civil engineers here in the Indian markets. Unfortunately, not many skilled civil engineers are output from any Indian engineering college.
- The curriculum of all engineering colleges hasn’t been updated for over a decade and it is not at all in sync with the current needs and requirements of the civil industry.
- Most of the civil engineers who pass out from the reputed colleges across India are either offered computer programming jobs with a package of 5-10 LPA on an average or become managers in the industry.
- The reality of civil engineering in India is quite a sad sight to look at and the students are paying with their twisted career choices for it.
There is no doubt to the fact that NIT Surathkal is an impressive institute with reputed faculty guiding the students, with an exception for the branch of civil engineering. Either the students are not able to develop sufficient interest in the same or the curriculum is not such that invokes interest or keeps them motivated enough. Moreover, it is also not in accordance with the industrial standards and needs.
If anyone gets selected for civil engineering in CUSAT, does he get to study in SOE or the CUSAT main campus itself?
CUSAT is a university that had colleges under it in the past. Now it only has colleges or schools to be exact. Which are under the main university campus.
Following are the various schools affiliated with CUSAT University.
- SOE: It stands for School of Engineering and deals with UG engineering courses.
- Old SOE: It deals with Grad and Ph.D. courses. It also comprises various departments for MCA.
- SLS: It stands for School of Legal Studies and deals with the law courses.
- SMS: It stands for School of Management Studies and deals with business-related courses.
- Kunjali Marakkar School of Marine Engineering: It deals with marine engineering courses.
The above-mentioned schools constitute the main campus. This is not the entire CUSAT, there is another campus for the university.
Lakeside Campus:
- The Lakeside campus is around 12 km from the main campus. It is set in Cochin city on the estuarine waterfront.
- It consists of the School of Ocean Science and Technology, School of Industrial Fisheries, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Department of Chemical Oceanography, Department of Marine Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry, Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics, and Department of Physical Oceanography.
- The School of Marine Sciences has a library that is regarded as one of the largest marine science libraries in Asia and a research vessel for coastal water studies.
- The school has academic interactions with other universities and research institutes in India and abroad.
Apart from this, there is also CUCEK in Kuttanad, also known as the Pulincunnoo campus. So, if you get selected into civil engineering, then you will be studying in SOE which is inside the main campus.
Which is better, Kanpur civil or IIT BHU electrical?
Both IIT BHU and IIT Kanpur are one of the best and oldest institutes in India. But according to me IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU here are some reasons:
- IIT Kanpur generally ranks higher than IIT BHU in the NIRF rankings. As of the most recent rankings IIT Kanpur is usually within the top 5 engineering institutes in India and IIT BHU typically ranks between 10 to 15.
- Both IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU have excellent placement records. Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU has placement records with an average CTC is 18 lakh whereas Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur also has strong placement statistics with an average CTC is 22 lakh.
- When it comes to research education and course curriculum IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU.
Considering the above points I could say go for IIT Kanpur over IIT BHU. Although, it depends on personal choice.
Is civil engineering in LNCT Bhopal a good choice?
LNCT is one of the best private colleges in Madhya Pradesh yet, pursuing civil engineering is futile. Following are the reasons for the same:
- The placement scenario for core branches is very bad. Hardly, any core company visits for recruitment. Even if they do, only 2-3 students are recruited.
- You have to look for a job on your own. Not many opportunities are provided for civil engineering.
- The department offers less practical knowledge and more theoretical knowledge.
- The faculty members are not good at the college and the labs are not fully equipped.
- LNCT Bhopal has a rule for 75% attendance which will only waste your time. You won't be able to prepare for competitive exams like GATE till the 3rd year.
- Preparing for these exams will be very hectic. Less attendance means fewer sessional marks which will degrade your CGPA.
LNCT Bhopal is not a good option if you are looking for a career in engineering. You will have to manage your studies on your own.
Which should I prefer, civil engineering at IIT Hyderabad or ECE at ISM Dhanbad?
Irrespective of the IIT tag you go for, Civil Engineering always has limited placements. Civil Engineering has become an outdated branch with little or no scope left. Although there are people who go for various options after pursuing civil engineering, which may include UPSC Examinations. What I mean is that Civil Engineering is not the right choice if your goal is placements. In that case consider ECE from ISM Dhanbad. Owing to the increased research in Machine Learning, the ECE branch is expected to grow ten folds in the coming future.
Additionally, ECE in IIT (ISM) has a pretty good coding and robotics culture, so you have both options, going for core jobs or CS jobs.
Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations. All I suggest is that never go for a mediocre rank just because a certain IIT is better than the other. The choice of your branch is equally important as the choice of your institute. Moreover, the Civil engineering scenario is similar in every IITs.
Is civil at IIT Bhubaneswar worth it?
Yes, IIT Bhubaneswar is worth it to pursue civil engineering. Although it is a new name among IITs, it’s doing quite well. According to NIRF Ranking 2019 IIT Bhubaneswar was ranked at 26 among the engineering colleges all over India. It’s a popular belief that there is not much placement opportunity available for civil engineering students in India. And most of the students from this starts to prepare for non-core placements from the very beginning of their courses. But this is not the case for IIT Bhubaneswar. Past placement records suggest that 70% of the civil engineering students got core placements. Placement record for 2019 in IIT Bhubaneswar shows a total of 89% students from civil engineering got placement offers. During placement, the average salary package offered to civil engineering students is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered even went up to 39 LPA over the years.
Students of this IIT have opportunities to do their internships in R & D organizations and in many foreign Universities. For summer internship program, students of IIT Bhubaneswar visited organizations such as ABB Ltd, Amazon, Microsoft, Aditya Birla Group, Airbus Group, India HINDALCO Industry, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Bharat Dynamics Ltd, NTPC, PNB, Metlife, Wipro, BSNL, Jaipur Metro, BHEL, Vizag Steel Plant (RINL), DRDO, Mahindra & Mahindra, Jindal Stainless Steel.
So, yes, civil engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is worth it as it will provide you with good placement and internship opportunities.
What should I do I am getting civil at MNNIT Allahabad in first round? This is my first attempt and I'm interested in ISI, IISc or IISER for research.
ISI, at the undergraduate level, teaches statistics and mathematics and IISER is in charge of General Sciences and MNNIT Allahabad offers engineering programs. Think thoroughly about what you want to pursue because the paradigms are different and the impact on the industry is also different.
If you go for civil engineering at MNNIT Allahabad you will find that the subjects are similar in the first year. You can top your class if you study hard. Only the top 2-3 students get the opportunity for changing their discipline after completing the first year. Changing your discipline will enhance your eligibility to the other institutes you have mentioned in your postgraduate.
ISI gives you five options at the postgraduate level:
- MS in Quantitative Economics
- M.Tech in Computer Science
- M.Tech in Reliability, Quality, and Operations Research
- Post Graduate Diploma in Business Analytics (this is co-hosted with IIT Kharagpur and IIM Kolkata)
- In case you want to pursue mathematics then you can go for M.Math.
IISc offers a number of specializations in engineering and general sciences. The eligibility, however, was restricted to undergraduates and the disciplines related to them. For shifting disciplines, you will have to appear for the GATE exams for the discipline you are converting to.
My friend appeared for his GATE exam in CSE to pursue the same in M.Tech. ISI is unique in this case because there are no restrictions here.
