All You Need to Know About Civil Engineering

Ever get this feeling to build something?

Want to make this world a better place to live in?

Well then guess what you can be a Civil Engineer.

You can literally make a change by being a Civil Engineer, it is a branch of the big tree "Engineering". A Civil Engineer basically creates new things, improve the existing things and protect our environment by using eco-friendly ways.

They work on the following aspects of railways, bridges, roads, buildings, dams, airports and a lot more.

Oversee construction and maintenance
Design
Plan

Fun fact- Civil engineering was sort of invented by ancient Egyptians *no surprise there* and Mesopotamians. Civil engineering includes following aspects of engineering:

Structural Engineering
Architectural Engineering
Geotechnical Engineering
Offshore Engineering
Transportation Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Control Engineering
Construction Surveying
Construction Engineering
Earthquake Engineering
Municipal or Urban Engineering
Materials Engineering
Forensic Engineering
Water Resources Engineering
Wastewater Engineering
Facade Engineering
Coastal Engineering

Qualification Required:

A Civil engineer is required to have a bachelor's or better a masters degree in the particular field.

To pursue civil engineering at UG level, one has to have minimum 60 percent in their 12th standard. One can also write JEE to get into the top colleges of engineering in India.
To pursue civil engineering at PG level, one should have a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and can give following exams:

IIT's through GATE
All India Combined Entrance exam conducted by JNU

Is the Future Bright for a Civil Engineer:

Engineers are usually required in every field and every department and following are some of them:

Government Departments
Local Authorities
Civil Engineering Contractors
Gas Companies
Electricity Companies
Railways Companies
Water Companies
Civil Engineering Consultants

One of the popular fields for civil engineers is armed forces, you get to serve your country and to be actually really helpful in the country’s development.

A civil engineer earns pretty well, on an average they earn Rs. 2,50,000-4,30,000 per annum. Other aspects that influence the salary scale are

Experience
Location
Company
Project

Entrepreneurship is also a good option and one can set up their consultancy firms but to be successful in that one needs several years of experience.

Dear Student,

A PCB student can pursue BCA admission at Ambalika Institute of Management and Technology (AIMT), Lucknow, if they have passed Class 12 from a recognized board with at least 45-50% aggregate marks (with possible relaxation for reserved categories) and crucially studied Mathematics as a subject in 10+2, as pure PCB without Maths typically disqualifies candidates for this computer applications program. The process is merit-based, involving online application via the AIMT website, document submission (Class 10/12 marksheets, ID proofs, photos), possible entrance test or interview, fee payment, and final verification. Candidates should verify current-year details directly from the official …

Dear Student,

Ambalika Institute of Management and Technology (AIMT), often referred to as Ambalika University in Lucknow context, does not offer a BTech in Biomedical Engineering; instead, it provides BTech in Biotechnology (Biological Engineering) and related specializations like BTech Biotech, which typically require PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) in Class 12 with a minimum 45-50% aggregate for eligibility via JEE Main/UPTAC counseling. PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) students generally do not qualify for standard BTech engineering programs at AIMT, as explicit criteria mandate Mathematics alongside Physics and Chemistry, though some biomedical programs elsewhere accept PCB. Ambalika's biotech course follows PCM norms without …
