Civil Engineering

Hello candidate.Generally, for Diploma courses, you must have passed class 10,  or its equivalent examination with a minimum of 45 percent marks each in Science and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. You must have also studied English as one of the compulsory subjects. Other than that, you must be passionate enough about the field to do well in the course and possess critical thinking abilities and problem-solving skills that will help you a lot in your career as a Civil Engineering professional.Rest, you may also visit the official website of the institution you are willing to apply for to get a clear picture about their eligibility criteria in particular. Best of luck!

Hi aspirant! The eligibility criteria for admission into Civil Engineering courses in India can be broadly stated as the following:Minimum Qualification: You must have completed your 12th standard (or equivalent) from a recognised school/college.Science Stream: Majority of institutions need you to have completed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics popularly known as PCM stream. Some of the colleges may accept the PCMB (including Biology) as well. However, these options are rare.Minimum Marks: The minimum marks requirement differs from institute to institute and according to the category of the student applying for a reservation. In general, an average of minimum 50 percent marks in PCM subjects is expected (45 percent for SC/ST/OBC categories).Entrance Exams: In order to get admission in top institutes like IITs and NITs, you need to qualify JEE Mains and JEE Advanced for BTech courses and GATE for MTech courses. These are the national level exams for Engineering courses in general. Other than them there many state level and university specific exams also like WBJEE, TS EAMCET, BITSAT and VITEEE.All the best!
