NICMAR Hyderabad Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Usually, 70% of the students are placed in the first 3 days at NICMAR Pune for ACM (Advance Construction Management) and PEM (Project Engineering Management) programs. The rest of the branch also get job offers eventually but the package depends on the level of expertise and skills you have.

Other campuses at NICMAR are a bit new and they are not as famous as the Pune branch. They don't get that much attention from companies as reputed and well-recognized branches like ACM and PEM at Pune receive.

For the 2020 batch, NICMAR observed an average salary package of 6.75 Lakhs. A total of 99.2% of students got placed with reputed companies including ITC, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, etc.

The placements for the QSCM course at NICMAR are quite less. As of 2019, a total of 24 companies visited and out of 225 students only 40 students were placed. There was a criterion that is set by nearly all the companies that the students need to have at least 60 percent marks in class 10th, 12th, and engineering. 

Also, it has been seen that due to the high intake of students, the package is reduced too much lower than before. In the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered was 6.75 LPA. 

Overall, the placements for QSCM at NICMAR are not so impressive.

The PGP HSEM (Health, Safety & Environment Management) course is a one-year full-time residential program. The curriculum is centered around the industry's needs. But Indian companies do not adhere to the standards and need to be updated. This course will cater the benefits in future when a company is restructuring.

Most of the reputed companies have started embracing safety measures in their operations. So, the placement statistics are approximately 80% for HSEM. The companies like Tata Projects, L&T, and more. Overall, there are ample opportunities.

NICMAR, keep in mind that you have never been known to add a lot of value to students interested in core construction. My brother is a NICMAR graduate, and yes, it helps because there is no other institute from which the construction industry can recruit students.

NICMARians can work in non-core construction jobs, but never in Core Construction. Furthermore, they have a serious attitude problem because construction does not always go as planned.

Spending Rs 13 Lakhs in this market is not a good investment. As the average CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA, according to the recent placement highlights. 

In terms of student content, NICMAR has never had a lot of credibility. Yes, it is a good filtering process, and thus companies use NICMAR because it allows them to choose from a pre-filtered lot.

The placement scenario in NICMAR varies each year. Recently, the intake of candidates is more when compared with the previous batches but the companies visiting are not increasing in the same manner.

For the 2020 batch, NICMAR observed an average salary package of 6.75 Lakhs. A total of 99.2% of students got placed with companies like ITC, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, etc.

Moreover, major companies are recruiting fewer students than from the previous years which is not an expected scenario.

Don't come to NICMAR to enjoy the brand tag and reputation and expecting an overseas job at the end with a 6 or 7 digit salary. Conditions have changed and the scenario is changing too. Take a wise decision carefully before you opt for your PG in any college. 

Placement for quantitative serving at NICMAR is good. A lot of people get an average package of 6 lakh per annum even though they are fresher. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute was 12 LPA. Hence, it is worth it. So, you can definitely choose the course if you want to do quantity serving for most of your career. 

Considering all the growth in the infrastructure sector of India, there is a good scope for it and it will go on like this for the next 5-6 years.

QS has been a favorite for almost all the fresh graduates. As it has a better ROI as compared to a full-time two-year course. You should not opt for it as a career just because you like the subject in your engineering syllabus. 

It would be better for you to get on a job on-site first. You can work for a year or two and understand the activities that go on around. During this period, you will also understand if you can do a full-time QS job. And then if you are still interested, you can go for it. QS has an unlimited scope with several growing projects in India and abroad so you need not worry about that. 

My brother recently graduated from NICMAR Hyderabad and here is his insight regarding this. If you look at the return on investment, QSCM is a better course than the two-year full-time course. Yet, there is no guarantee that you will end up with a job.

And this applies to all of the courses. You need to have a good academic score in your previous certificates, a good NICMAR score, and good communication skills.

The course is well defined and structured as per the industry requirements. The placements depend upon your caliber and you get a ton of opportunities according to that. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 12 LPA. Some of the major recruiting companies at the institute are KPMG, L&T, HDFC, etc.

After the completion of the first year, you can apply for internships for which you need to appear for an interview session alongside a written exam. It is usually based upon Aptitude and English, apart from subjects taught in NICMAR. During this time, you can practice for the final placements.

1. It is best if you practice the aptitude and reasoning section of RS Agarwal as it is one of the most preferable books.
2. Having a broad knowledge base in the core civil engineering topics is one of the most significant parts of the NICMAR syllabus. 
3. NICMAR interview processes include a group discussion which mandates good communication skills. Even if you are not perfect in communication skills, the institute will help you in improving the same.
4. Keep a good academic track record for a 100% reimbursement.

NICMAR also has a plethora of extracurricular activities to distract one from the flow. It is upon you to manage your time and execute your aim. It is suggested that you prepare thoroughly when you still can. 

Quantity Surveying and Contract Management (QSCM) is an excellent course offered by NICMAR Hyderabad. You will be able to study almost all of the important subjects included in the ACM curriculum. Contract management, arbitration and conciliation, rate analysis, and valuations are all considerations.

Project management software like Primavera P6, MSP, Candy CCS, are also included in the Qscm and Acm curricula.

I've been in touch with alumni from the QSCM batch, and they're doing well in the industry. The majority of them work in Gulf countries for some of the best construction firms and Project Management Consultancies, while the rest work as Managers in domestic companies.

My brother completed his PGDCM from NICMAR Pune. The placement in NICMAR Pune is really good. In comparison to other civil engineers, you will be paid slightly more. The only disadvantage is the high fee structure of the institute. 

The current placement stats of NICMAR is as follows. 

I recommend that you acquire a job and take a NICMAR part-time or distance course. You will be given the name NICMAR and will have to spend less money. In addition, you will not lose your two-year income or experience. So, it's best to get a job first and then enroll in NICMAR.
