Hi Shashank,

It is definite that civil engineering students should be fluent in some of the softwares which are frequently asked for in industries and companies. You should have your hands on some of these softwares,

• Autocad,
• Revit
• STAAD Pro
• SAP 2000
• Inventor
• 3d max
• Recon

Software are just to make your task a little bit easy like you can easily render the structure and see what it is capable of. Also simple softwares like Autocad are useful to know the basics of these softwares. You should have perfection in Microsoft word, PowerPoint, Excel etc. These are the most important typo software asked in industries. 

Hope this helps and all the best.

Hello Apoorva, there is no easy way to clear the JEE Mains exams. The easiest way to crack the exam is through continuous hard work. You need to study at the same pace until the date of the examination. You need to do regular revisions at the weekends. Follow the guidelines of your coaching mentors. Keep solving the question banks provided to you. But keep in mind to not study anything new at the last moment and only revise the things you know, so that there is not much pressure at the day of the exam.
