Does everyone get placed in NICMAR or do we need to have job experience?
It’s not mandatory that you have work experience, but it will be good if you have a couple of years of experience at the work front. This will give you a better understanding of the course at NICMAR. It’s also not compulsory to have work experience, in order to get placement. Although a few consulting companies do shortlist students based on their experience for better packages. But major recruiters are open for both. There are even some companies that prefer freshers. L&T is one such company.
However, that does not mean, everyone from NICMAR gets placed. Only the deserving candidates get placed.

Is the entrance test for NICMAR tough?
The NCAT is the entrance exam for NICMAR. According to some of my friends who have taken the exam, it is not that difficult but easy if you prepare well.
- For the written exam, you need to have hands-on practice with the aptitude and reasoning section.
- You need to have good time management skills to ace the exam.
- The next round would be Group Discussion. For this, you have to keep a record of the current affairs of both the World and India along with the domain you are studying, be it Interiors or Civil.
- Have a sound knowledge of the current technologies and reforms made in the particular domain.
- The last would be the personal interview round. It's quite easy if you have a command over your communication skills.
An interview is nothing but an interaction. For the preparation, in the case of a fresher, you can tell your accomplishments during the time of graduation. If you are a working individual, you can share your learning, experiences, and the contribution you have made in the industry while working tenure.
I got admission in nicmar pune in ACM but many present students from nicmar are advising not to join due to less placements is it true?
If you have joined Pune Campus, sit and relax. NICMAR is one of the reputed institutes for Construction Management. You will enjoy an unparalleled level of respect whenever you apply to companies like KPMG, L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji.
However, the university will not provide you with everything. You have to work hard to grasp such reputation and job profiles. If you are scoring only 60% in your PG degree and expecting to secure a job offer on the very 1st day, then you are wrong.
The placement process is very rigorous and you might have to go through at least six stages to secure a job offer. Your profile, personality, caliber, capability, and hard work determine the job role you will get.
ACM has a huge strength of 800+ students and if you don't work hard then the recruiters would not have reasons to select you.

The institute assures 100% placement assistance but the compensation depends on your performance.
Overall the course is good but still, I would suggest you first go for 2 years experience in the field and then go for the course.
What is the salary package after doing ACM from NICMAR Pune having 5 years of experience in the construction field?
One of my friends had recently joined NICMAR and here are some things he suggested that might help you with your question.
- It would be highly recommended to take the Distance Course if the aspiring candidate is very serious about pursuing this course.
- The degree is not much worth the cost that one is paying.
- Most of the prior experienced candidates got job offers with lesser salaries than they were getting before.
- The average CTC offered is around INR 6 LPA wherein you do not have much choice with the company that you can get placed anywhere else.
Thus, it is important to take suggestions from students who have recently passed out or are currently graduating and then make the decision.

Recent NICMAR placements had an average CTC of around INR 6.75 LPA.
