There are lot of career prospects in civil engineering; jobs ranging from planning, analysis, design, implementation of a wide range of activities. Scope of civil engineer is spread across Indian and across the globe. If we look into the past, great structures such as Great Wall of China, Channel Tunnel in France, CN towers, Delta Works in Netherlands, Panama Canal, Golden Gate Bridge, Petronas Tower, Burj-Al-Arab Hotel, Palm Islands, Great Pyramid of Giza, Aqueduct of Segovia, Brooklyn Bridge, etc. are great FEATS by Civil Engineers.
Upon completion of under graduate course, there are two options for students
Jobs- in core companies, IT, consulting, banking sector etc…
Pursue higher studies – MS, M tech, integrated Ph D, MBA etc.
A student who hunts for a core engineering job has always ended up in a good career. A good resume with excellent CGPA, with good leadership skills and skills for administrative, supervision, who has done impressive projects and internship in B Tech has always found it easier to get jobs in core companies. Extra knowledge in softwares such as AutoCAD. STAAD, Revit, Project Management softwares have made students more employable. Lucrative jobs avenues in both public and private sectors are waiting for students who graduate with Civil Engineering. Also construction sector is experiencing a boom in the country. Many of our students (passed out 2011-2015 batch, 2012-2016 batch) are placed in core company either on campus placements or as off-campus placements and few end up in IT industry.
There are different specializations of Civil Engineering such as Building Technology and Construction Management, Environmental and Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Transportation Engineering.
Structural engineers plan, analyze, design various structural components and structural systems taking into account factors like durability, safety, economic, environmental and aesthetic factors. They are responsible for building structures which are strong and stable enough to resist all loads such as load against gravity, wind, snow, rain, earthquake etc.
Transportation Engineers design new transportation infrastructures which includes highways, airports, railways, bridges, etc. they apply technology and principles to the effective planning, design, operation for any mode of transportation by air, water or road thereby providing safe, efficient, convenient movement of people and goods and improving the overall economy of the country. Many data such as population, land use, traffic volume and flow pattern data, accident, costs, evaluation of present traffic system and exisiting law and order are analyzed and they come out with innovative solutions to all the problems.
Geotechnical Engineers: understands the properties of soil and its adjoining properties like underground water, rocks, ground water table. Planning and design of structures like buildings, roads, embankments. They also deal with geological hazards like landslides, soil erosion etc.
Building Technology engineers – develops the materials needed for construction of bridges, buildings, airports. Construction Engineers deals with the designing, planning, management of infrastructures such as roads, bridges, airports, buildings, etc. dealing practically with projects, adding more value to it and thereby making project more visible
Water Resources Engineers involves the planning and management of water management systems, that addresses supply of water for human use and its circulation in water distribution network or developing methods of avoiding damage from excess water such as floods. Overall it increases effectiveness and efficiency of water treatment system.
Environmental engineers applies scientific and engineering principles to protect human populations from potentially deleterious effects of natural and human activities and finally to improve the environmental quality. It involves air quality management, water quality management, solid waste management, hazardous waste management, land quality management etc.
In any of the above field mentioned, students can pursue higher studies.

A one day workshop on total station was conducted on 5th May, 2016 by the Department of Civil Engineering for officials from Government Sector. The workshop was inaugurated by Adv. Dr. P Krishnadas, Chairman and Managing Trustee, NGI. The participants included, the officials from Public Works Department (PWD), Local Self Government Department (LSGD) and Nirmrithi Kendra. A total of 39 officials registered for the workshop; so the workshop was conducted on two days with 25 participants on day one and 14 on the second.
This training was primarily focused on the use and advantage of Total station to measure horizontal, vertical angles as well as sloping distance of object to the instrument in just one step. The training included demonstration and hands on training as well. The workshop was successful and received excellent feedback from all the participants. A further advanced training has been planned with them on the coming months. Training for students and staffs of ITC has also been planned.
This laboratory is primarily meant to familiarize and give hands-on training to students in the following areas of civil engineering application software in the areas of surveying, structural Engineering, water resources, project management etc. The software packages trained here are AutoCAD, MS-Office, SAP, STAAD, ANSYS, EPA NET, Geo4, ArcGIS, MS-Project.
The list of exercises in this laboratory include determination of solids, turbidity of water and estimation of optimum coagulant dosage by jar test, alkalinity of water, hardness of water by EDTA titrimetric method, chlorides in water, iron and manganese in water, sulphates and sulphides in water, dissolved oxygen in water, available chlorine in bleaching powder and test for residual chlorine, pH of water (by various methods), B.O.D of wastewater sample, C.O.D of wastewater sample and demonstration of MPN.
The list of exercises in this laboratory include specific gravity of coarse and fine grained soils, grain size analysis, Atterberg limits and indices, determination of field density, determination of coefficient of permeability, consolidation test, compaction test, California bearing ratio test, direct shear test, unconfined compressive strength test, triaxial shear test, tests on aggregates (Los Angeles abrasion test, shape test, aggregate Impact value) and bitumen.
