No, that option is not accessible. You can refer to CAT and XAT exam papers. The pattern will be the same. The NICMAR Entrance Exam will be a stroll in the park. So don't be too concerned about it.

For GD, you should begin reading the newspaper extensively for the past few months prior to your exam. The topics will be broad, with no discernible trend, although they will mostly be current.

Personal Interview: They will ask you HR, technical, and other questions.

So, you require a paper only for the written round, but if you prepare a little bit of aptitude and grammar from RS Sharma, you will not need any previous paper.

According to the reviews online, NICMAR is famous for construction management in Hyderabad. It offers one-year programs and two-year full-time programs.

The choice of the course depends on you considering the various factors like course curriculum, risk capacity in terms of return on investment, and fee. The following can be considered.

• One-year courses include PGP HSEM, PGP QSCM, and PGP MFOCB. 
• These are suitable for health and safety profiles or the billing and quality surveyor jobs.
• Two-year courses include PGP ACM, PGP PEM, PGP REUIM, PGP IFDM, and PGP CSCDM. 
• These courses offer different job profiles when compared with the one-year program.

Overall, the institute offers decent placements with a 99.2% placement record in all the programs. Therefore, it is suggested that you choose according to your needs and career goal.

Many top companies visit NICMAR every year for placements. Almost all companies that recruit students from ACM, PEM, or any other two-year equivalent courses also come to recruit the QSCM Candidates. Generally, all these courses have placements on the same day.

Almost all reputed construction companies visit the campus placement of NICMAR. EPC Contractors, a top construction company in India is a frequent recruiter at NICMAR. 

If we analyze the placement scenario at NICMAR, the number of recruiters visiting and recruitments happening is only increasing. Also, the packages offered by these companies are high when compared to the market. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at NICMAR was 6 LPA. 

The new campus of NICMAR Hyderabad is 20 Km away from the city and you hardly find anything around the campus. 

• You need to walk 2 Km from the bus stand to get into the NICMAR campus. 
• There is a small basketball court and cricket ground.
• The gym facilities are good but usually remain overcrowded.
• One small shop is there where you hardly find anything, and the food is of average quality and the menu gets repeated.
• But there is a 24 hours electricity supply and the classrooms are well-equipped with air conditioners.
• Also, a free wifi facility is available but there is a limit, if you use it beyond that then your id is blocked by the officials.

Thus, we can conclude that the facilities provided in the new campus are less when compared to the old one.

NICMAR is a well-reputed college offering various full-time as well as distance learning courses to its students. 

Although the course curriculum and faculty members of this college are quite good, choosing a Distance Learning Education Program depends not only on what the college has to offer you but also on what career stage you currently belong to.

• For Fresher students, choosing a distance learning course might not be such a good call as they will not be able to relate to many concepts being taught.
• But on the other hand for candidates with prior work experience, a distance learning course from NICMAR may give their career a much-needed push in the right direction along with an option to change the current job profile. Also, it will open up the door for promotion opportunities in your current profiles.

In case you are a fresher then you opt for a full-time course. And if you are a person with prior work experience then you can choose distance learning programs at NICMAR, as the students with prior work experience will be able to relate to the concepts easily.

IIT Delhi and IIT Madras offer a Post-Graduation in Construction Technology and Management. To secure a seat at either of the institutes, you must obtain a good rank in the GATE examination.

IIT Delhi gives more weightage to the technical aspects of the course, while NICMAR focuses more on the managerial aspects of Construction. The curriculum of the course is unmatched, yet the placements, at times, can be quite unanticipated. 

Both the courses are quite equivalent to each other on various stages whatsoever. But, when the decision boils down to which among the both is better, then IIT Delhi might win the race.

Now, the Transportation Engineering department from IITs is indeed a great course. The average package some of my seniors from this course secured was about INR 5 LPA. However, by all means, your placement partially also depends upon whether or not you are typically prepared for it. 

NICMAR, keep in mind that you have never been known to add a lot of value to students interested in core construction. My brother is a NICMAR graduate, and yes, it helps because there is no other institute from which the construction industry can recruit students.

NICMARians can work in non-core construction jobs, but never in Core Construction. Furthermore, they have a serious attitude problem because construction does not always go as planned.

Spending Rs 13 Lakhs in this market is not a good investment. As the average CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA, according to the recent placement highlights. 

In terms of student content, NICMAR has never had a lot of credibility. Yes, it is a good filtering process, and thus companies use NICMAR because it allows them to choose from a pre-filtered lot.

Placement for quantitative serving at NICMAR is good. A lot of people get an average package of 6 lakh per annum even though they are fresher. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute was 12 LPA. Hence, it is worth it. So, you can definitely choose the course if you want to do quantity serving for most of your career. 

Considering all the growth in the infrastructure sector of India, there is a good scope for it and it will go on like this for the next 5-6 years.

QS has been a favorite for almost all the fresh graduates. As it has a better ROI as compared to a full-time two-year course. You should not opt for it as a career just because you like the subject in your engineering syllabus. 

It would be better for you to get on a job on-site first. You can work for a year or two and understand the activities that go on around. During this period, you will also understand if you can do a full-time QS job. And then if you are still interested, you can go for it. QS has an unlimited scope with several growing projects in India and abroad so you need not worry about that. 

Quantity Surveying and Contract Management (QSCM) is an excellent course offered by NICMAR Hyderabad. You will be able to study almost all of the important subjects included in the ACM curriculum. Contract management, arbitration and conciliation, rate analysis, and valuations are all considerations.

Project management software like Primavera P6, MSP, Candy CCS, are also included in the Qscm and Acm curricula.

I've been in touch with alumni from the QSCM batch, and they're doing well in the industry. The majority of them work in Gulf countries for some of the best construction firms and Project Management Consultancies, while the rest work as Managers in domestic companies.
