The placement statistics of Civil Polytechnique has been going down since the major construction companies are in decline. A lot of professionals have lost their job due to the slowing down of this sector. However, it can not be said how long will it take for the companies to be restored back but in this market, there is not much need for civil engineers. IT firms are, however, blossoming. So, it is upto you because if you want to work abroad, then you have a chance at good placement but in India, you might have to wait for about 4-5 years before getting a decent job.
