Iam studing B-tech 4th yr civil engineering and i got aggregate 73% what kind of government jobsare there?

You can apply for jobs in public sector companies after B.Tech provided you will be able to clear written examination. Opportunities also come about in banks as PO/Specialist officer post. Try for section engineer, divisional engineer post in railways as well. Defense sector job is also a good option for B.Tech holders. UPSC CDS is the exam which you need to qualify as part of selection.

Do civil engineering students with 70% aggregate are selected for good jobs without any campus placements? ?

Basically you will have to either apply for job in Public Sector Undertaking or you have the option to sit for the Indian Engineering Service entrance exam. Both these are the best option for government job.

You should first try your luck in the Indian Engineering Service. IES is conducted for very reputed government jobs in various deparments. These departments have different field of expertise like roads, highways, defence, railways etc.
