I recently got selected into the NICMAR Pune ACM branch. Is it really worth it?
I also got into the ACM program at NICMAR Pune. Let's connect and chat about it. You can find me on Facebook under the name Sunand Mahajan. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
I am currently in the final year and I am confused, but now I feel like doing project management. Is NICMAR better? Or can I go for NITIE and RICS SBE also?
If you’re confused about whether to choose NICMAR, NITIE, or RICS SBE, I’d say it depends on your specific goals. At NICMAR, the MBA in Project Management has a great placement record with a 97% student placement rate. The faculty are approachable and provide good insights, but the fees are on the higher side. If you're primarily focused on project management, NICMAR is definitely worth considering, but do weigh it against what NITIE and RICS SBE offer as well.
I got selected to MTech in Construction Technology and Management in NICMAR Pune which got started as of this year 2024. Is it a better option to join there when it comes to future prospects?
If you've just finished your B.E., now is a great time to start your MTech. In my opinion, pursuing MTech in Construction Technology is a smarter choice than going for a management course at NICMAR. You can always pick up management skills with on-site experience, but getting an MTech later on might leave you with some knowledge gaps. It's better to first deepen your expertise in structural engineering and then move to practical work.
Plus, if you're aiming to be a Project Manager, having a master's degree is often necessary. NICMAR can keep you up-to-date with the latest trends in civil engineering and offers good job prospects. However, with an MTech, you might have to work a bit harder to find those high-paying opportunities.
