Diploma in Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is the best branch of engineering from the growth perspective. The demand for skilled civil engineers will never slow down worldwide as infrastructure projects, construction, and much more structure will keep on increasing and will never be stagnant. Diploma in Civil Engineering is a diploma program which is of a total of 3 years duration, divided into six semesters. The course deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways. Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from Municipal Public Work Departments through to federal government agencies, and in the private sector from locally based firms to global companies.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Civil Engineering is considered as one of the oldest branches of engineering. Civil Engineers happen to be the central figure in building the infrastructure of a nation. The beauty of civil engineering is that it gives you an opportunity to plant wings to your dreams. Each project comes with its own set of challenges which require meticulous planning, creativity, adaptability and problem-solving skills to develop infrastructure. Civil engineers will always remain in demand as development of infrastructure i.e. construction of buildings, skyscrapers, roads, highways, dams, bridges, water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants etc to name a few, rely on their expertise and talent. The versatility of the civil engineering branch exists in the fact that it has ample opportunities for all. Equal numbers of opportunities are available for Civil engineers both in government as well as in the private sector. Various fields in government sector offer jobs for civil engineers: Municipal Corporations, Jal Boards, Delhi Development Authority, New Delhi Municipal Corporation, Metro Rail, National Highway Authority of India, Indian Oil Corporation, Delhi State Industrial Development Corporation, Public Works Department, Central Public Works Department, Border Roads Organization, Military Engineering Services, Airport Authority of India, Indian Air Force, Railways, Irrigation & Flood control department, Public Health Engineering department, National Hydro-electric Power Corporation, National Thermal Power Corporation, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, Defence Research and Development Organisation, RITES, DRDO, Pollution Control Boards, Building and Construction department of organizations and the list is endless. A large number of players are available to hire civil engineers in private sector i.e L&T, Tata Projects Limited, Gammon India, Gammon Infrastructure Projects Limited, Omaxe, Supertech, Shapoorji & Pallonji Group, GMR Group, Infrastructure Lease & Financial Services, Hindustan Construction Company, Afcons Infrastructure Limited, Gammon India Limited, Reliance Infrastructure, Ashoka Buildcon, B L Kashyap & Sons Ltd, Consolidated Construction Consortium Ltd, Essar Group, IRCON International Ltd, Jaypee Group, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd, National Building Construction Corporation Limited, Punj Lloyd etc., to name a few.
