dear aspirant,

Civil Engineering is one of the oldest, traditional branches of Engineering. It is a core branch as well as an evergreen one. Civil engineering has quite a great scope in India

Job opportunities are available for B.E./B.Tech. Civil Engineering graduates in Governmentas well as Private sectors. Talking about Government sector, many enterprises such as ONGC, BHEL, IOC, PWD, Electricity boards, Town Planning department, NHAI, Armed Forces, Indian Railways etc requires qualified Civil Engineers. Salary scale is different in case of Private and Government sectors. But, the average starting salary is generally between 2-5 Lakh Rupees per year.

In  private sector, prime recruiters are Construction firms. One may take up following job posts in such firms-
