The B.Tech in Civil Engineering is a comprehensive curriculum that familiarises the students with the infrastructural and building design and construction as well as maintenance work. Other areas that are covered in the course include structural mechanics, geotechnics, environmental engineering, transport engineering, construction engineering, management engineering and Engineering project management. To complement the conventional learning, the elements that are adopted include class work, laboratory exercises, field trips and projects. This program develops problem solving skills, innovation and leadership skills among the graduates to fit the job markets in different sub disciplines of civil engineering.

Objectives of Program

  • Educate students so as to enable them to effectively apply the basic principles of civil engineering in practice as well as in theory.
  • Take practical classes in the form of lab work, project work and site visits.
  • Courses prepare students for careers in aspects such as infrastructure development, construction management and environmental engineering.
  • Develop problem-solving skills and project management abilities that will help the students succeed in their respective professions.

Future in Civil Engineering

  • Construction of one hundred smart cities with an investment of USD 31 billion through smart urbanisation and creation of smart structures.
  • Affordable Housing: As a result of this plan Civil engineers will benefit from increment in demand since Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana wants to construct 20 million houses.
  • Civil engineers are also very much required in ongoing projects like Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor.

Eligibility

  • Candidates must have completed their HSC (12th standard) with qualifications from a recognised board.
  • They should have pursued the science stream, including Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as mandatory subjects, achieving a minimum of 45% for open-category students and a minimum of 40% for reserved-category students.
  • They must have qualified for the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHTCET) or Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) with a non-zero positive score.

FAQs

What does the qualification cover?

A B. Tech in Civil Engineering provides a wide range of training areas such as structures, geotechnics, environment, transportation and construction project management etc. It includes theoretical practice as well as the necessary elements of laboratory and project activities in the field.

The average package offered to Civil Engineering graduates the moment they join the job market in India mostly ranges between ₹3-6 lakhs per annum based on the type of job, company and geographical area. It could be paid according to the experience of the individual, it could also be paid according to the field of specialisation done by the individual [high salaries reported in specialisations like structural engineering and project management.]

These are the technical competencies which are necessary to perform the job: structural analysis and design, material, computer aided design and construction, methods, environmental regulation and many more.

To qualify for the program - B.Tech in Civil Engineering, the candidates are commonly required to complete 12th grade with mathematics and science as major subjects. All the students must also clear an entrance examination like JEE Mains, MHT-CET or any other examination as applicable to the concerned institute with a non-zero positive score..

Some job positions are structural engineer, construction manager, environmental engineer, and transportation engineer. Employment opportunities for the graduates can therefore relate to construction and infrastructural development projects as well as cities and towns planning.

The course is normally evaluated by different writing tests, tasks, projects and presentations at the end of each semester. Another important factor that is used in assessment is the continuous assessment via laboratory assignments and field reports.

Some of the ideal certification include; Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified Construction Manager (CCM), Professional Engineer (PE) licence, LEED Accredited Professional for green building.

Specialisations and advanced skills that are known to be paid a lot require skills such as structural design, efficient project management, cutting-edge techniques, and environmentally-sound construction.
