This is a group for the staff and students of Civil Engineering students of 2017 at Sharda University. The blog is meant for communication between the students and the faculty. Although it is one way (faculty to students) now, but we may extend the same to two-way communication. For any comments, write to me at satya.prakash@sharda.ac.in

Ref: https://www.quora.com/What-should-all-mechanical-engineers-know/answer/Rohit-Kapoor-49
What should every civil engineer know?
In College
- Half of the college subjects are of no use at site.
- Autocad is very important thing to learn which you try to avoid till last year.
- During placement interview, Practical knowledge is given importance and not grades.
Dilemma Phase - What to do next?
- Even doing MTech don’t assure you job guarantee.
- Nicmar gives you certification and not degree at end of 2 Years construction management course at expense of 10L fees.
- Government job require hardcore preparation for 5–6 months with 10–12 hrs study a day.
JOB
- Starting salary is as low as 15k per month and not more than 25k per month.
- In starting you might have to work even on Sunday and from day to night without any extra pay or incentives.
- Don’t expect life of IT employees for first 3–5 Years.
- Labors might have more knowledge than you.
- You are expected to work at 40 degree and that too in remote/rural locations like Kashmir or some village.
- 50% get into smoking during this phase.
Final Verdict
- It’s far more easy to get into construction business if you have strong determination
- You will be always physically fit.
- As your practical knowledge will increase, you demand and salary will increase.
I would like to add few points here,
While in College
- Alongwith your courses, get some skills. The skills can be AutoCAD, Revit, STADD Pro, GIS, Remote Sensing, Costing estimation, Bar Bending Schedules etc.
- Just learning/ knowing how to operate the software won't help. Do at least one project on the software you have learnt/ been taught
- Get your communications skills (oral and verbal) improved. Read, Write and Speak English.
- Learn how to use Excel and Powerpoint, or rather master it
- Work on projects and take the projects seriously, even if they are of no credits
- Do not ONLY go for certifications, learn the trade. If you have a certificate and you do not know anything, the certificate is of no use
- Do not go for master's unless you are sure of getting into academics
- Government job preparation is not one day affair. It takes years of rigorous preparation (10-12 hrs at least every day for many years!)
- Coaching are of very limited help/ use. For any kind of preparation, you need to have your fundamentals clear, even of 12th standard courses (Phy/ Chem/ Maths).
