Ans- The next step “What you can pursue after your B.Tech?” If you are a Civil engineering graduate, you have many options and only prerequisite to be successful is to ensure thorough understanding of the concepts and application part of all the courses that are taught during your 4 years B.Tech program. Note that “there is no short cut to success”. You can go for higher studies in India or abroad, government sectors jobs like IES / IAS, PSUs, private jobs in major construction companies like L&T, Tata projects, Gammon India, HCC, SPCL, etc. Last but not the least, you can also opt teaching profession and join any academic institution as Lecturer / Assistant Professor after post-graduation (minimum) and then PhD, which is a must degree to survive longer in Academics.

IES / Civil Services Exam by UPSC

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts national level exams like IES (Indian Engineering Services) and Civil Services exams, yearly, and one has to crack these exams to work as civil servants or administrator / officials in various governmental organizations or public sector in the field of railways, roads, defense, manufacturing, inspection, supply, construction, public works, power, telecommunications, etc. For details related to course content, eligibility and selection procedure, and future prospects; please visit the website http://www.upsc.gov.in/. Aspirants for these competitive exams have to start preparing in the early years of their graduation. Apart from maintaining a good CGPA or score during their course work in B.Tech program, it is important to work on your soft skills and personality developments. Most of the good engineering institutions offer these as part of their curriculum design and the NorthCap University takes care of these aspects by introducing courses like Effective Communication, Human values & professional ethics, value addition (VA) courses, General Proficiency (GP) , Campus to Corporate, Foreign Language etc. Student should take courses very seriously and should also try to incorporate those suggested guidelines and practices in their day to day life. This can effectively be done by making a small group of your friends or colleagues who share a common interest of cracking these national level exams.

GATE Exams

Next, important national level competitive exams is GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), which is conducted by any one of the IITs or IISc, on rotation basis. In India, cracking GATE with good score and all India Rank is an essentially required to get entry in various public sector units (PSUs) as well as for perusing higher studies, i.e., M.Tech in various branches of engineering in any of the IITs, IISc or Institute of National importance. MHRD (Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India) recommends monthly scholarship to GATE qualified students perusing higher studies in Government institutions or AICTE approved colleges. Cracking GATE also requires preparation in the early years of graduation and one has to be technically very strong with thorough understanding of the concepts and knowledge of all the theories taught during their course work in their graduation. The NorthCap University has designed their curriculum in such a way that it covers all the relevant and important courses that are also covered in various national level exams. Also, the content of the courses isupdated yearly to meet the changing demand of the society and industry needs. I would like to emphasize here that NCU has made GATE exams compulsory, i.e., it is introduced as a self-study course GATE as an audit course to ensure students take up this exam seriously and work for the betterment of their future.  Some of our students have scored 99.99 percentile in Gate 2018 and 2019.

Pursuing Higher Studies (M.Tech/ MBA)

In case, students, having valid GATE score, wish to pursue higher studies at The NorthCap University, option for availing teaching assistantship (TA) is available. There is a well-defined SOP and a student having qualified for availing TA can get monthly assistantship of 12,400/-. One can contact respective department heads or faculty coordinators who are dealing with the M.Tech admission. For pursuing M. Tech in Civil Engineering with option of specialization in Structural Engineering or Construction Engineering & Managementor Environmental Engineering, at the NorthCap University, please contact Mr. Shubham Bansal (+91-8699898813), Faculty & Coordinator (M.Tech Admissions).

One can also opt for management program like MBA in IIMs after cracking another important national level exam CAT (Combined Aptitude Test) or opt for management courses in construction engineering from reputed institutions like IIMs,NICMAR, Pune, National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) – Mumbai, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi and many more. In any case, qualifying and scoring good rank in one national level exam is must to excel in your professional life. So fasten your belt to fly!!!

Higher Studies Abroad

Through GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, you can also choose going abroad and pursue higher studies abroad in countries like US, UK, Australia etc. The NorthCap University has also collaborated with many technical universities in abroad where students have an opportunity to spend 2 years in the foreign universities after their 3rd year and get MS degree from abroad. For details, visit our website or contact respective departmental heads for further guidance. Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at NCU has an MoU with Michigan Tech University, USA.

Law / Arbitration / Auditing

A qualified civil engineer can also become an independent arbitrator and proceed for the empanelment in various government organizations or associate himself with private organization. This requires degree in construction law as well as full time course on arbitration. Auditing is another field where a civil engineer can try his/her lucks. Now-a-days various civil engineering labs require NABL accreditation as per the government norms. All the contractual documents state that third party testing of building and construction materials should be conducted by NABL accredited lab. This requires auditing of management and technical procedure of the lab under scrutiny. To be a qualified auditor, one has to go through various training programs conducted by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS), NCB-Ballabhgarh or any other organizations as recognized NABL. One can visit the offices of these organizations or explore through the information available on their website. For proper guidance, one has to get in touch with qualified auditors and discuss to explore the various possibilities.

I am happy to inform you that Department of Civil Engineering at the NorthCap University has established an independent material testing center in the name of “The NorthCap University Testing Center (NCUTC)”. NCUTC is involved in the mechanical testing of building and construction materials, such as, cement, concrete, aggregate, bitumen, soil, bricks etc and follows managerial and testing procedures amd guidelines established as per ISO/IEC 17025: 2017. Recently, NCUTC also obtained NABL accreditation of its testing facilities in the field of cement, aggregate and hardened concrete. NCUTC provide professional services to government or private organizations involved in construction industries.
