You just have to make your knowledge strong. And for more information about this course you can refer to the following link:

Hello,



Career and job perspective



Gathering and researching data from different sources and locations and finding solutions to make structures earthquake resistant is one of the most important responsibilities of anearthquake engineer.



Besides collecting information, Earthquake Engineers have an on-field job as well to collect information from local residents and other sources.



Earthquake Engineers find work opportunities in the Research & Development sector. They work with both government and private companies engaged in the construction of buildings, railways, highways, ports, bridges, and space stations.



Teaching is another career opportunity for earthquake engineers as lecturers, professors and researchers.



Salary Package



In India, the average salary of anEarthquake Engineeringgraduate is INR 518,236. Other incentives are also offered on a monthly or bi-yearly basis.



However, this is not the limit and earning raises twofold based on work experience, qualifications, research papers published and performance on-field.
