The placement record of NICMAR is not 100%, but still impressive at 85%. However, the number of companies visiting the campus has reduced after Demonetization, which is a concern for a candidate’s placement prospects. Having work experience is an advantage, but it is not a deal-breaker as some freshers with ordinary CGPA have also secured good placements.

NICMAR offers various courses related to the construction industry, such as construction management, project management, real estate management, etc. which are unique in the industry but for the degree to be allowed in some foreign country it all depends on that countries rules and weather the country recognize the degrees of India because each country has their own way and system of evaluating foreign educational degrees and they might require some additional certification or qualification. It also depends on the individual company's policies.

Countries recognizing Indian degrees will accept NICMAR degrees, and the companies recognizing Indian degrees will accept them as well. So, yes some countries and companies accept NICMAR degrees.

To gain admission into NICMAR, you should:

• First inquire about the exam dates and application process from the college authority. 
• Then write the written exam and score higher than the cut-off.
• Participate in a group discussion, and attend a personal interview.
• If your performance so far has been acceptable, then you will be able to get into NICMAR. 

Do not choose NICMAR, as the institute has lost its value in the industry due to the current management's focus on business rather than students' placements. 

For example, there was a student pursuing the ACM course in Goa who was not placed during campus placement and was only offered a job off-campus for a package of 3 lakh rupees, which is pretty low. This suggests that the current market scenario in the construction industry is not favorable, and big companies are cutting costs and minimizing resources. Investing in NICMAR might not be financially beneficial. Look into a quantity estimation course in Hyderabad instead.
