A thought of construction strikes our mind when we talk about civil engineering. The need for Civil engineering is from time immemorial. It is the foremost profession emerged in the field of engineering. Civil engineers not only pay attention to the construction of buildings, bridges, homes, etc but also transform lives via there dedicated and passionate work.

Civil engineering is associated with the Planning, designing, supervision, estimation of materials, maintenance, and execution of structures like bridges, buildings, roads, etc.

CIVIL ENGINEERING COURSE

A student can opt for civil engineering course after 12 or even after 10th. There are diploma courses available which you can do after 10. The best part of doing any diploma course is that you do not have to go for 11th and 12th standard anymore and after two years a student can get the lateral entry into B.Tech civil engineering.

After the 12^th  standard,  the 4-year B.Tech degree course into civil engineering can also be chosen by a student. Although the time period for both route ( via diploma and direct engineering after school ) include the same no. of year’s investment.

Eligibility to enter the B.tech course for any government institution like IITs, NITs is based upon the all India level Joint Entrance Exams (JEE). One has to qualify JEE Mains after 12th boards to get enroll for the particular institution. Many private institutions also take students on the basis of the JEE Mains score and some institutes organized their own examination.

There are integrated B.Tech degree options are also available in the course that includes B.tech and M.tech degree in one go. Opting for this saves your one year from separately going for BTech and MTech courses.
