Sir, I preferred iit delhi civil eng.[B.Tech] over iit roorkee E&C [M.Tech] & CS with M.Tech in IT.Is it a right decision taking into account scope after 4-5 yrs and recession period?

Hi

E&C from IIT R could have been a better choice, coz inspite of recession E&C has been hit the same way as other engineering departments except IT industry. E&C are paid good as compared to civil engineers.  But IIT Delhi civil is good too , scope for civil engg. is tremendous in the coming years. Recession period has to end in a year or two, then it wont be much difficult situation.

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish it from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.

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.
