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
Placement Percentage |
74.44% |
Median CTC |
INR 12 LPA |
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.
