Hello Naveen,

As an overall, placements in core branches like civil engineering faces the same plight everywhere when compared to other branches like CSE and circuital branches.

IITs are better in this, as many of the professors have tie-ups with the civil engineering firms or with industry giants so placements are guaranteed somehow. And IITB being one of the best institutes in India with highly qualified professors and a really good infrastructure, you needn’t worry about the placements.

According to 2017-18 placement statistics, out of 19 students applying for M.Tech placements, 18 have been placed from the Geoinformatics department of IIT-B.

Also, Geoinformatics being a comparatively new field you can do a lot of research work in this area which is a good point to your advantage and IITB has the best labs and faculties for that.

Under this department also comes the ISRO-IIT(B) Space Technology Cell which performs research in several fields related Space Research Programme of ISRO. Several projects are given to the faculty of IIT, Bombay. The Cell is also supporting Continuing Educational Programme, Seminars, workshops and conferences from which you can learn a lot.

NITs too have tie-ups with industries and consultants to regional companies as well. From all NITs, NIT Trichy has almost 100 % placement for many civil branches following it is NIT Surathkal and then NIT Warrangal and NIT Calicut.

These are some of the placement data of previous years from NIT Calicut in Transportation:

For the year 2017-2018, out of 13 students, 4 students got placed. Overall 30% placement from the specialisation.

For the year 2016-2017, out of 18 students, 7 students got placed. Overall 38% placement from the specialisation.

For the year 2015-2016, out of 17 students, 3 students got placed. Overall 17% placement from the specialisation.

For the year 2014-2015, out of 14 students, 2 students got placed. Overall 14% placement from the specialisation. For the year 2013-2014, out of 14 students, 3 students got placed. Overall 21% placement.

Hope it helps!
