Education and Career Forum

Sir please tell me that what will be the scope of B.E. Civil engineering in the coming year 2017? I will be passing out then, so want to know about the scope then.

Civil engineering has nowadays become a boon for the students who want to work in government sector.
In 2016 itself, more than 1000 vacancies of Civil engineers have come till now and many more to come for different posts and designations.

With civil you don't need to worry about jobs.
The only thing you should be emphasizing on is the knowledge that you posses because for every exam you need to give a written test.
And though the competition is not that much huge but then it does not mean that it is negligible.

So, put your heart and soul in your B.E course and complete it with that much sufficient knowledge which is required to clear various exams.

Also, one tip that i would like to give you is that, prepare those subjects more efficiently which usually come in your competitive exams. The best source for this is to check the syllabus of GATE exam for Civil branch because 90% of the various exam's syllabus is more or less inspired from gate. Some parts may differ but you will get an overall idea of the subjects you need to have a strong hold on.
