Although the campus placement may not give you many core jobs for civil engineering at DCRUST, there are various Govt. jobs that you can prepare for. You can also pursue higher studies. Overall, DCRUST is a decent option for pursuing a Civil Engineering degree.
What should be the preference order in NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy, Civil, production for JoSAA Counseling?
One of my friends chose ProductionCivil and Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur. Honestly, the preference may vary from person to person depending on their career prospects and inclinations. However, I can certainly guide you to decide the right one
- If you are a Physics or Maths guy who wants to study Mechanical or is planning to pursue an MBA later then the right choice for you is Production Engineering
- If you are interested in Chemistry and want to pursue a research-based career in or outside India then go for Metallurgy.
- If you want to land a decent government job or prepare for UPSC, then Civil is the right option for you.
So the preference order in my opinion is Production>Metallurgy>Civil. Ultimately it’s your own preferences that will determine the choice.
