Ques. How is an MTech in civil engineering at IIT, Dhanbad?

● Top Answer By Nilesha Chakraborty on 11 Oct 23

Ans. IIT(ISM) Dhanbad has two branches in the Civil Engineering department namely Structural Engineering and Environmental Science and Engineering. Structural Engineering has learned and experienced faculty but the infrastructure and lab facilities are still lacking. A few core companies like L&T come for recruitment drives. The workload is considered less so you will get ample amount of time for preparation for UPSC. M.Tech in Environmental Science and Engineering is one of the oldest branches which is the Centre of Mining Environment. There are many highly qualified professors in this discipline with well-equipped laboratories certified by ISO. The department has more than 90 Research and Development projects and more than 250 consultancy. Here is the detailed placement scenario of the Civil Engineering Placement Percentage 35% Average CTC INR 10.19 LPA Salary Range INR 7 LPA to INR 18 LPA Number of Companies 65 Hope this helps you!Read more

Ques. How is the M.Tech (civil branch) at NIT Patna if the ESE and GATE preparation is the primary concern?

● Top Answer By Sagar Dikshit on 01 Sept 23

Ans. One of my friends has completed his BTech from NIT Patna. I have an idea about the academic environment and placement opportunities at NIT Patna. MTech program has a relatively light workload giving you enough time for other things. The academic opportunities are limited for MTech students but plenty for BTech students. Faculty comprises friendly and learned professors. However, you will have to resort to self-study at some point. The NIT tag helps you in the initial stages of your career. Overall, completing MTech from NIT Patna might offer excellent opportunities. The government of India also encouraged the researchers by its schemes directly from NITs. You can also opt for academia and become a teacher or start working in a PSU. The institute will provide you with enough time and opportunities for civil services or IES, Read more
