Civil Engineering


Overview

Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering is an undergraduate Engineering course. Civil engineering is a professional engineering program that deals with the design and making plans, production, supervision, excellent control and upkeep of bodily systems, including homes, roads, bridges, dams, canals, seaports, electricity plants, and airports. Specializations consist of shape, transportation, geotechnical and geo-environmental, and water resources engineering. Employers include Municipal Bodies, The Defence Forces, National Highway Authority of India, government improvement hands like the DDA and Noida Authority, BHEL, Larsen & Toubro, and so forth.

A career as a Civil Engineer opens up a big world of imagination and goals for the incumbent. The field of civil engineering is so enormous that it will restrict oneself to any specific discipline and excel while not having a right expertise in other related fields.

Courses & Eligibility

The eligibility for pursuing B. Tech in Civil Engineering is to pass class 12th with physics, chemistry, and maths as the major subjects and clearing the entrance examination. The AMIE (Associate Memberships of the Institution of Engineers) offers guides, which might be also equal to BE and B.Tech.

Four years course in engineering from an IIT will cost about 2 lakhs. There are a number of scholarships, fees waivers, and loans to be had for folks that are unable to fund the education.  The costs of private colleges start from about 40,000 per year to approximately 70,000 in a year.
