Placement Opportunities (Scope)

Civil Engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. B.Tech. graduates in Civil Engineering conceive, design, build, supervise, maintain infrastructure projects such as roads, buildings, airports, ports, dams, bridges and many more. Civil Engineering as a course has always been in great demand as the need for skilled civil engineers never slows down. All countries across the globe are heading towards the path of industrialisation. So, there is a need for the building of infrastructure projects and structures to meet the needs of these countries. And with these, the demand for civil engineers has seen an upward trend.

Civil Engineers are hired in several sectors like construction firms, development boards, oil and energy companies, petroleum to chemical and power facilities and so on.

Listed below are certain job profiles for civil engineers:
