Respected Experts, Could anyone please enlighten me on the future prospects of civil engineering, i.e. 4-6 years down the line, considering the expected rise in the demand for infrastructure in the coming years? Also, is it true that civil engineers get mainly employed in less paid government jobs?

Hi

Scope of civil engineering in India and abroad: Opportunities exist in the public and private sectors in large numbers in all branches of design, construction and maintenance, infrastructure development in both India and abroad. Right now constructions industry is booming as there is growth in infrastructure requirement throughout the country. This is going to stay for next few decades. Scope of civil engineers lies with many developing countries in middle east, Africa, Asia where infrastructure development is picking up and Indian engineers are in great demand.

in india our IT indrustries is in recession so scope of civil is more in government sector in muncipal co . specially in india our livelihood is moreover basic so for development construction is necessary and in railways salary is more and many company like hindustan const. is in good progess so there is lot of scope in civil.

Civil Engineers can find job in Government departments, private and public sector industries, research and teaching institutions etc. Job opportunities for civil engineers are expected to increase as fast as the average for all jobs, although the construction industry is vulnerable to fluctuations in the economy. Civil engineers will always be needed to maintain and repair existing facilities and structures and to construct new ones. After doing B.Tech, one can look for jobs in road projects, building work, consultancy firms, quality testing laboratories or housing societies. The experts say there is a high demand for experienced civil engineers in developed countries.

Civil engineers are employed in all the major construction projects carried out by the state or central government, the railways, private construction companies, military, engineering services, consultancy services etc. Civil engineering graduates can also go in for research and take up teaching or they can open their own independent consultancy services.

 

Its not always the case, that u are being employed in DLF or L&T for high paid jobs, rather i think average paid govt jobs are better than these highly paid private ones. Private companies demand too much work , moreover govt jobs are secured and reasonable .
