Duration of Civil Engineering Course ?

All engineering branch is of duration 4 years and after completing diploma it is duration of 3 years. If you are interested in the Civil engineering course then you can take admission in this course after completing 12th class. For admission in the engineering course you need to appear in the entrance exam which is conducted by the college/University. After completing B.Tech course in civil engineering you can get a good job in a big company.

Some famous entrance exam is IIT JEE, AIEEE, Wbjee, ORJEE, KIITEE, VITEEE ...and many other. After completing 12th class you can appear in the above entrance examination. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is consider as the best institute of India for the engineering and Technology course. To appear in the IIT JEE you need 60% marks in the 12th class. Every year a large number of aspirant appear in this exam to test their fate but seat is limited so competition becomes really hard.

For the diploma holder candidates the b.Tech course is of duration 3 years. The diploma holder candidates can take admission in the direct 2nd year of B.Tech course through lateral entry examination.

So, don't confuse the Civil engineering course is duration of 4 years.

Well all engineering degree courses have a duration of 4 years and diploma courses have a duration of 3 years .For diploma courses you can apply after 10th exam but for the degree courses you can apply only after passing your class 12th with physics ,maths and chemistry as a compulsory subjects.So if you want to join the the degree civil engineering course then you should take exams like AIEEE,IIT JEE and other state entrance exams and college specific exams .

If you joins Btech after doing the poly technique then the duration of the course is 3 years as you will directly get admission in the second year .You do not need to study the first year of engineering .You can join college through lateral entry .

To appear for IIT JEE you should have 60% makrs in class 12th where as for AIEEE there is no such criteria.You can take IIT JEE 2 times only and that too consecutively once when you are in 12th class and 2nd after passing 12th class.For AIEEE you can take exams in similar manner but three times only.

IIT JEE and AIEEE are the exams which held in the national level to select students for best institutes in the nation including IIT's and NIT's respectively

friend the actual duration of civil engg. course if u pursue it right after +2 is 4 yrs. but if u are a diploma holder in civil engg. and have apply via lateral entry then the duration will be of 3 yrs since u will directly enter at the 2nd year. on the other hand a post graduation in civil engg. is of 2 yrs duration.

If you just passed 12th then it will be a 4yrs course for graduation and if you want do your masters then further 2yrs for that oterwise the diploma holders can take a direct admission in the 2nd year so reducing the course duration to 3yrs but for masters it will be further 2yrs as it is.

After passing 12th class the Duration is 2 years for civil or any other engineering course.
But a diploma is of 3 years.So better to get a degree instead of diploma as after getting that you can pursue your masters in the particular field which is offcourse a 2 year course.

But if you had already done Diploma, then you can take directly admission in II year of this UG Course and in this way your 1 year is saved. That's why it becomes 3 year course.

For getting admission in good colleges like IITs, NITs, you will have to crack exams like IIT-JEE, AIEEE with good ranks. Then only, you will be able to take admission for Civil Engineering in these colleges.

All engineering branch is of duration 4 years and after completing diploma it is duration of 3 years. If you are interested in the Civil engineering course then you can take admission in this course after completing 12th class. For admission in the engineering course you need to appear in the entrance exam which is conducted by the college/University. After completing B.Tech course in civil engineering you can get a good job in a big company.

Some famous entrance exam is IIT JEE, AIEEE, Wbjee, ORJEE, KIITEE, VITEEE ...and many other. After completing 12th class you can appear in the above entrance examination. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is consider as the best institute of India for the engineering and Technology course. To appear in the IIT JEE you need 60% marks in the 12th class. Every year a large number of aspirant appear in this exam to test their fate but seat is limited so competition becomes really hard.

For the diploma holder candidates the b.Tech course is of duration 3 years. The diploma holder candidates can take admission in the direct 2nd year of B.Tech course through lateral entry examination.

hiii...!!!

-->you can join any course but you should be +2 passed with NON-MEDICAL (PCM) subjects.

-->duration of civil engineering under B.tech is 4 years.

-->but if you have done diploma then you can take admission directly in 2nd year through LEET.

-->Then the course will be of 3 years for you.

-->for getting admission in good colleges like IIT's,NIT's you have to crack exams like IIT-JEE,AIEEE with good marks.

all the best....go ahead...
