Glimpse of Civil Engineering in India

Civil Engineering is considered to be one of the oldest branches in Engineering, in fact, civil engineering is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering. Tracking back to history the origin of civil engineering may be considered to have started right from the age of Mesopotamian civilization or even earlier where the art of construction was started.

The perspective of civil engineering is never ending, the opportunity of civil engineers is increasing day by day. Looking at the present scenario of developing countries like India, the demand for civil engineers is on its peak actually beyond the expectation. Every city and town in India is in the stage of development, where construction of building, dams, flyover, mall etc has been increasing at a tremendous rate. At the same time, the government has also started many development programs or projects such as smart cities projects, different housing scheme, etc., for successful implementation of such programs we need a huge number of civil engineers. By civil engineers, we mean true professionals, who have experience in the field.


Truly Speaking, in India, the number of true professional civil engineers is very low. According to a research report in India, it was reported that India faces a shortage of over 70,000 civil engineers each year. Ever year India produces more than 10,000 civil engineers. And also looking at a report from Civil Engineering Notes it is said that almost 90 percent of engineering graduates in India are unemployed or unemployable.

The main reason why I am referring to these numbers and figures is that I would like to give awareness to all the Civil engineering students in India that a huge golden opportunity is waiting for them and to grab this opportunity they need to work hard a bit during their B-Tech life. Just four years of hard work in their B-Tech can make them rich.

Following are some tips for engineering students to succeed in their career, right from their first year they should preparing subject-wise taking simple example civil engineering notes, notes for formulae, notes for a list of instruments etc.


You will release the importance of such civil engineering notes when your semester exam comes and even after completing your B-Tech at the time of your professional live as Civil engineer.
