A civil engineer is a person who builds a building .He knows the science to build a building .A civil engineer determines the feasibility of a building .They also take a look at the costs and also the safety concerns of the building. An architect will take the help of a civil engineer to construct a design which will want his help. There are also may sub-disciplines to civil engineering such as geotechnical engineering, Forensic engineering, Coastal engineering etc.Civil engineers mostly spend time out side. They will mostly be near the sites to supervise the construction. They also have equal responsibility to the building materials used in the project .It s their responsibility, the feasibility of the projects.
Civil engineering is a very demanding career as the engineer has to be around the site until the construction of the building is over. A civil engineer will build the bridges, buildings , highways , roadways etc to give it a final finish the engineer must be around the site all the time.
To be a civil engineer one must pass the engineering entrance exam and must also have a minimum pass mark of 60% in your 12th std with subjects Physics and Mathematics.
Step 1 To become a civil engineer after passing the entrance exam you must join a good college for B Tech in Civil Engineering. The course for B tech in Civil Engineering is for 4 yrs .The top colleges in India that offer courses in Civil Engineering are :-
1) Indian Institute of Technology ,Delhi
2) Birla Institute of Technology ,Bihar
3) PSG College of Technology ,Coimbatore
4) Vellore Institute of Technology ,Vellore
5) National Institute of Technology , Kozhikode
A civil engineers duty is to construct a building .A civil engineer gets employed in construction sites as site engineers. They can build small houses to long and heavy suspension bridges. Civil engineers also can start their own construction sites and take up projects.
The starting salary of a civil engineer will be Rs 20,000.Depending on the companies and experience salary can range from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1, 00,00,0.
