National Institute of Construction Management and Research - [NICMAR], New Delhi - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

NICMAR has campuses in Pune, Hyderabad, Goa, and Delhi NCR. The student strength is maximum at Pune at 607 offering four programs i.e., ACM, PEM, REUIM, and IFDM. Other campuses have fewer seats and it will take a few years for these campuses to come to the same position at which the Pune campus is now present.

It is worth the fee we pay at NICMAR. Students from Civil Engineering get exposed to the management aspect of Engineering and they are offered roles in companies like L&T.

I can answer this honestly, though. The company eventually refused our joining by saying, "Company is in loss, we are sorry we can't take you on board," and I was one of the ten candidates who had received an offer from JSSL.

Following this, we all 10 sat down and contacted each and every HR on the placement committee's contact list. Although there are fewer chances because your friends have recently been hired by those companies, you can still do this.

1. Find contacts in each organization by using any source to identify other businesses and consultants—there are many—who haven't been to the campus. This will increase your chances of landing a job by 80%.
2. Although it is ineffective, try to push your CV through senior Nicmarians to receive an interview call. Challenging but just 2% likely. 
3. Paper ads, job portals, or recommendations from family and friends make up the final source.

Another opportunity exists, but it comes with a risk: travel to the Middle East, remain there for two to three months and apply wherever there are openings. 

Don't anticipate receiving compensation in the same manner as when companies visit campus.

NICMAR has two campuses one is in Pune, and the other is in Hyderabad. The pune campus experienced 95% batch placement with a total of 131 recruiters, and the Hyderabad campus experienced 99% placements. 

The highest package ranges to 16 - 17 LPA, while the lowest package offered to students ranges to 4-5 lac per annum, and the average package offered is 7-8 lac per annum. The institute gets recruiters like Tata Projects, KEC International, L&T Construction, HDFC Bank, Shapoorji, Bechtel, Hillti, and ACC. 

The institute provides you with other opportunities as well, like live projects and case competitions to score a placement from outside.

The number of companies you can sit for depends on the limit set by the placement committee. 

For e.g. You are provided with three chances. Your chance will be wasted only if you reach the final round of a company and fail to convert it. That means you can sit for as many companies as you want if you are failing in the preliminary rounds only.

NICMAR offers a total of 11 courses in MBA, which include construction, entrepreneurship and sustainability. 

The college has a 95% placement success rate and has an average package of 9 LPA and the top package was 24.20 LPA for the class of 2023.
