How can one afford to study at NICMAR being from a middle class family?
You may be able to take out an education loan to afford the fee structure at NICMAR. Few banks, in my opinion, will issue you a loan right away, but with persistent follow-ups, providing them with the genuine certificate from the college and the other required documents, you can receive one. Try to obtain it from SBI since their interest rate is considerably lower than that of the other banks.
Scholarships are also available to merit-based students. While they won't pay your entire tuition, you can use the money to cover your living expenses for the two years you'll be studying there.
What are the options for students who don't have placement in NICMAR?
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.
- 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%.
- Although it is ineffective, try to push your CV through senior Nicmarians to receive an interview call. Challenging but just 2% likely.
- 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.
What do we actually study in the CPM (Construction Planning &Management) Master's degree course of NICMAR?

What is best after getting a B.Tech in civil engineering: taking a GRE and going abroad, or pursuing a degree from NICMAR?
Your goals, interests, professional aspirations, and other restraints will determine whether you take the GRE and study abroad or attend NICMAR.

Just like any other B School, the dress code for classes is FORMALS.
For the classes, casual formals are acceptable. Semi-formal trousers and shirts will also do. It also depends a lot on the professors. There are some professors who are very particular with the dress code while for others it may not matter.
But for your own good and preparing yourself for the industry, you should try and adapt to wearing formal every day for classes.
To add to the point above, during the placement process, a strict formal - White Shirt and Black Trouser with a Tie are mandatory.
Moreover, it sounds very difficult but with time you will get adjusted and it won't be a problem anymore. And while on campus you will have bigger problems at hand than just thinking about wearing formal for classes!

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.
