The average salary of a civil engineer in India is between Rs 308,876 per year as per Payscale. There are higher-paying opportunities depending upon experience and management skills in government sectors. Payscale is expected to increase with years in the field and overall gain in experience.

A total of 31 engineering branches under the B.Tech program in India but civil engineering is one of the best engineering branches with high paying jobs in the current market even after Covid-19.

The civil engineering scope is evolving rapidly every day. The scope of civil engineering is increasing all over the world and government/private organizations in association with design, construction, maintenance of infrastructure, and environmental management industries. There are several career opportunities like development and constructing buildings, roads, highways, bridges, airports, housings, etc.

Here are some reports from InvestIndia and IBEF (Government-authorized websites) that will help you in understanding the importance of this course:

• According to recent IBEF reports, India is expected to be the third-largest construction market in the world by 2025.
• Construction output is estimated to grow on average 7.1% each year by 2025, since.
• By 2020, the construction equipment industry revenue is expected to reach $ 5 billion.
• The construction market holds approximately 9% of India’s GDP.
• According to Invest India, more than 51 million people are employed directly under this industry.
• The Construction industry in value terms is expected to record a CAGR of 15.7% to reach $ 738.5 bn by 2022.
• India needs to spend $ 454.8 bn on infrastructure development and constructions over the span of the last five years (2015-20), with more than 70% of funds required for power, roads and urban infrastructure sectors.

Considering all the statistics mentioned above, you can say that the civil engineering scope is quite high. Students can enjoy good benefits when they are opting for this career.

“Civil engineers are responsible for designing and maintaining buildings, roads, bridges, water, energy, railways and airports, among other public works.” According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the scope of the profession is “roads, bridges, water and energy systems, as well as public facilities.”
