M.Tech

The average M.Tech Civil Engineering salary for fresh postgraduate students is somewhere between INR 5 LPA and INR 7 LPA. For mid-senior level positions, the salary range is slightly higher on the basis of the experience and technical skills acquired by the individuals over a few years. Their salary would be between INR 7 LPA and INR 10 LPA. In India, the job providers often pay more salary to experienced candidates who could perform the given technical tasks efficiently with minimal supervision. Hence, for senior-level management positions, the salary in the Civil Engineering field is more than INR 10 LPA and can go up to INR 20 LPA as well.

Some of the well-known government M.Tech Civil Engineering colleges in India are the IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and the NITs like NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal. These institutes offer a variety of M.Tech courses for Civil Engineering students that include integrated BTech-MTech courses that are 5 years long as well as M.Tech Civil Engineering courses with specialisation in Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering, etc. Apart from these colleges that are well-known for their NIRF ranking, coursework, and placement opportunities, some other reputed government M.Tech Civil Engineering colleges in India include DTU, Jadavpur University, Jamia Millia Islamia, etc. The average M.Tech Civil Engineering course fee at these colleges is between INR 50,000 and INR 5 lakh. You must look for factors like course fee, curriculum, teaching faculty, infrastructure and placement opportunities before choosing your college for the course.

The important subjects might vary depending on the university as every university follow a certain set of guidelines when it comes to their coursework, but common topics covered in the M.Tech Civil Engineering course usually remain almost the same that include:• Structural Dynamics• Advanced Concrete Technology• Finite Element Analysis• Rock Mechanics and Earth Pressure• Soil Dynamics and Machine FoundationsYou also get to choose from a variety of elective subjects as per your interests and career goals. Further, you can also pursue a major in a particular branch of Civil Engineering like Structural Engineering, Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, etc.

·       Make sure you meet the minimum eligibility requirements set by the academic institutions that usually ask you to have a B.E/BTech degree in Civil Engineering or a related field with a minimum score of 55%.·       You must clear relevant entrance tests conducted every year for admission to M.Tech courses in India.·       Once the exam results are out, you usually have to apply for the counselling process online by filling out your preferred course and college choices.·       You will then be given a seat during the counselling on the basis of your rank in the entrance exams after which you can visit the college to confirm your admission status and book your seat by paying the M.Tech Civil Engineering course fee.

Anybody who has completed a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field with a minimum of 55% marks in graduation from a recognised academic institution can go ahead and apply for the M.Tech Civil Engineering course at several reputed colleges and universities across the country.You will also have to clear entrance tests conducted at the national/state/institutional levels with a good rank to be able to get admission to the best colleges such as, the IITs and the NITs. It is important to note that the minimum eligibility requirement is higher for these institutions, between 60 to 75% marks in graduation as they offer integrated BTech-MTech Civil Engineering courses and a variety of Civil Engineering branch specializations in MTech.

MTech Civil Engineering can open several doors for a successful career where you can enter into various industries and earn handsome salary packages. In today's scenario when the society is rapidly advancing and individuals are constantly making improvements in their standard of living, the demand for construction and building professionals is on the rise.·       As per recent research reports, the annual demand for civil engineers in the country is projected to increase every year at a rate of 9% from 2018 to 2028.·       During a panel discussion hosted by the National Institute of Engineering (NIE) earlier this year, Civil Engineering was seen as a significant career option for the aspiring youth population, because of the entrepreneurship possibilities that it offers.·       About 22,900 vacancies for civil engineers are estimated each year, on average, between 2023 and 2033.Therefore, you can go for an M.Tech degree in Civil Engineering without any second thoughts regarding its value and future scope in India.
