hi,

The placement scenario of NIT Puducherry is approximately moderate. As per the sources, the average package offered was 4.9 LPA. The highest package offered was 15.25 LPA. Some of the top recruiters are Samsung, IBM, Infotech, Tech Mahindra, Larsen & Toubro, Tata ELXSI Limited, etc. however the highest placement offers for cse, ece , It related branch. if you would work hard and bring a good score you will get excellent placement. students of third years got many internship opportunities both in indian sectors and abroad organization.

Not only in NIT Puducherry, but even in Institutes like IIT Bombay and Kharagpur, the Core Placements of Civil are extremely bleak with only a couple of Companies like Tata Projects, L&T, Shapporji Pallonji visiting them. Situation is similar at NIT Puducherry however if you develop interest in Finance/Software/IT/Data Analytics you may have opportunities from the Non Core sector luring you during Campus Placements.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in Civil Engineering, I would advise you to give GATE and try your luck in the PSU Sector. Most of the PSUs be it from Core Infrastructure to Chemical and Refinery always have opening for Civil and Mechanical Engineers. You even have a chance to pursue M.Tech from one of the Top IITs or IISc Bangalore.

You must also appear for the UPSC ESE examination for prestigious Indian Engineering Service Positions.

Another option could be cracking the entrance examination for NICMAR, and pursuing a PGDM in Project Engineering and Management or related Construction and Infrastructural Management disciplines with excellent career scope and placements. NICMAR Pune has almost 100% placements and is one of the higher study destinations for Civil Graduates.
