As an electrical engineer, should I join the NICMAR IFDM course?

RP
Roshni Pradhan Posted On : September 8th, 2021
PGP Advanced Construction Management & Project Management, NICMAR (2018)

NICMAR Pune will not offer you the best education, not only for electrical engineering but for anyone pursuing a specific stream of discipline. It will be best if you avoid joining it.

One of my cousins mentions that he lost two years of his time investing energy in this institute when it allegedly did not quite fill the void for him. This scenario has been for the campus of Hyderabad. In a nutshell, you should research thoroughly about other campuses of the same and decide if it is a fruitful choice nonetheless.

What are the chances of getting an assistant manager/contracts manager job after completing QSCM in NICMAR if we have certification in Primavera?

AR
Arun Raj Posted On : September 17th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Construction Management and Research (2017)

The chances of getting a profile for Assistant Manager after QSCM are pretty high. There are few companies that give such position to freshers. 

  • One such company is JLLwhich is a Project Management Consultancy. 
  • Most contracting firms such as L&T, HCC, Afcons, JMC, Shapoorji prefer giving the position of Post Graduate Management Trainee or Graduate Engineer Trainee to Freshers. 
  • Down the line working after 3–4 years after QSCM, they get the tag of Assistant Manager.
  • In PMC like CBRE, the initial tag of Project Coordinator is given to selected candidates only. 
  • The chances of getting an Assistant Manager or Contracts Manager profile get higher after passing out from ACM/PEM/IFDM/REUIM.

It is always better to pursue a course after at least 1 year of on-site work experience as it helps in understanding the concepts better. This also helps in negotiating for a better package during the placements.

What is the number of architects that do project management at NICMAR Pune compared to civil engineers?

SA
Shatrughan Arora Posted On : September 20th, 2021
PGP Project Engineering Management, National Institute of Construction Management and Research, Pune (2019)

My friend had joined the Advanced Construction Management (ACM )branch in NICMAR, I'd suggest that you join it as well.

In his ACM class, there were 6 architects and in total there were 60–100 architects in NICMAR. Architects are required in abundance too. They have a good scope in the future and many well-known companies need architects for their multi-role profiles. Many interior design companies require specialized designers for interiors.

Also, there are only a few architects in the college so chances of getting a placement are higher. So definitely go join and fulfill your goals.

PGDP Advanced Construction Management ,National Institute of Construction Management and Research (2019)

One of my friends had recently joined NICMAR and here are some things he suggested that might help you with your question. 

  • It would be highly recommended to take the Distance Course if the aspiring candidate is very serious about pursuing this course.
  • The degree is not much worth the cost that one is paying. 
  • Most of the prior experienced candidates got job offers with lesser salaries than they were getting before.
  • The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA wherein you do not have much choice with the company that you can get placed anywhere else.

Thus, it is important to take suggestions from students who have recently passed out or are currently graduating and then make the decision.

When will I come to know my rank or if I have gotten a scholarship in the NCAT (NICMAR) exam?

PR
Pradipta Roy Posted On : October 18th, 2021
PGP-ACM from National Institute of Construction Management and Research (2020)

Regarding the rank and scholarships, it totally depends on the institute. For the 2018-20 batch the results of top rank scholarship holders were sent individually to each of them via mail, soon after the results of the first round were announced.

The results of the scholarship holders of the 2019-21 batch were only disclosed after the students joined the college, towards the close of July.

So, everything is up to the institute. In the case of the scholarship holders, the institute reimburses the fee deposited by each of them during the first trimester, after the declaration of the result.

Would you suggest joining NICMAR right after BE?

AJ
Akhil Juneja Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Studied at the National Institute of Construction Management and Research

If you join NICMAR as a fresher or with experience of 1-2 years, you may get placed with an average package of INR 5 LPA. However, if you have experience of more than 2 years, the average package offered will automatically increase to 6-7 LPA in NICMAR. 

It must be noted that the placement opportunities are also dependent on academic records and fair communication skills. You should be capable in this regard as well. 

You can join NICMAR after BE but as a fresher, you need to work hard to relate the classroom fundas with real-life project conditions and issues.
