What is civil engineering? What are the prospects?
Ans: Civil is everything around you, the buildings, roads, waterways, townplanning etc. In short I think it can be called as Civilisation Engineering, and maybe that’s the reason they are calling it as Civil. This Branch deals with the selection of materials for usage in construction, estimation, planning and execution of big constructions maybe like Tidel Park, Dams Roads etc. Earlier this was the hottest but now in recent years this branch has little takers. The PWD department, which was actively recruiting earlier, has reduced the intake and hence this branch is run for namesake in some colleges. Job Prospects: Government jobs in PWD, highways, CPWD, all Public sectors, Private construction companies like L&T ECC, Abroad chances more in Arab countries and in Singapore Malaysia. Recommended highly for students whose parents or relatives are having some construction business either here or abroad.
