Questions Asked On NICMAR Hyderabad, Hyderabad

No, that option is not accessible. You can refer to CAT and XAT exam papers. The pattern will be the same. The NICMAR Entrance Exam will be a stroll in the park. So don't be too concerned about it.

There are three rounds in total.

In writing: It's the same as any other admission exam that tests aptitude and grammar.

Discussion in groups: The majority of GD comes from current events or any construction or project instance.

For GD, you should begin reading the newspaper extensively for the past few months prior to your exam. The topics will be broad, with no discernible trend, although they will mostly be current.

Personal Interview: They will ask you HR, technical, and other questions.

So, you require a paper only for the written round, but if you prepare a little bit of aptitude and grammar from RS Sharma, you will not need any previous paper.

Usually, 70% of the students are placed in the first 3 days at NICMAR Pune for ACM (Advance Construction Management) and PEM (Project Engineering Management) programs. The rest of the branch also get job offers eventually but the package depends on the level of expertise and skills you have.

Other campuses at NICMAR are a bit new and they are not as famous as the Pune branch. They don't get that much attention from companies as reputed and well-recognized branches like ACM and PEM at Pune receive.

For the 2020 batch, NICMAR observed an average salary package of 6.75 Lakhs. A total of 99.2% of students got placed with reputed companies including ITC, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, etc.

NICMAR is a well-reputed college offering various full-time as well as distance learning courses to its students. 

Although the course curriculum and faculty members of this college are quite good, choosing a Distance Learning Education Program depends not only on what the college has to offer you but also on what career stage you currently belong to.

• For Fresher students, choosing a distance learning course might not be such a good call as they will not be able to relate to many concepts being taught.
• But on the other hand for candidates with prior work experience, a distance learning course from NICMAR may give their career a much-needed push in the right direction along with an option to change the current job profile. Also, it will open up the door for promotion opportunities in your current profiles.

In case you are a fresher then you opt for a full-time course. And if you are a person with prior work experience then you can choose distance learning programs at NICMAR, as the students with prior work experience will be able to relate to the concepts easily.

The placements for the QSCM course at NICMAR are quite less. As of 2019, a total of 24 companies visited and out of 225 students only 40 students were placed. There was a criterion that is set by nearly all the companies that the students need to have at least 60 percent marks in class 10th, 12th, and engineering. 

Also, it has been seen that due to the high intake of students, the package is reduced too much lower than before. In the 2021 placement drive, the average CTC offered was 6.75 LPA. 

Overall, the placements for QSCM at NICMAR are not so impressive.

NICMAR is a good and reputed college with a stellar placement record. The 2018-2020 batch had over 90% placement percentage with more than 120 companies visiting the NICMAR (Pune) Campus for recruitment. 

Mostly, the companies tend to offer similar packages for ACM as well as PEM. However, what does make a difference to it is the prior work experience of the candidates. So, it has got more to do with the individual capability than the branch, where higher salary placements are concerned.

Placement Opportunities:

• Placement opportunities in NICMAR for ACM are a little more as compared to those of PEM. 
• In the 2020 placements of the institute, 571 students from Advanced Construction Management got successfully placed whereas Project Engineering and Management saw 239 student placement.
• Some of the frequent companies visiting the campus are Tata Consulting Engineering, Wipro Water, Reliance Industries, OYO Rooms, etc.

Do consider all your options before making a final choice. However, on the feedback received from some of the alumni of the institute, I would recommend you for Advanced Construction Management rather than Project Engineering and Management.

The PGP HSEM (Health, Safety & Environment Management) course is a one-year full-time residential program. The curriculum is centered around the industry's needs. But Indian companies do not adhere to the standards and need to be updated. This course will cater the benefits in future when a company is restructuring.

Most of the reputed companies have started embracing safety measures in their operations. So, the placement statistics are approximately 80% for HSEM. The companies like Tata Projects, L&T, and more. Overall, there are ample opportunities.

According to the reviews online, basically, the facilities that the hostel of NICMAR provides are innumerable. 

• The size of the hostel is appropriate.
• The hostel warden and other staff listen to every issue and try to resolve them as soon as possible, which include plumbing, electricity connections, and many others. 
• The housekeeping and maintenance of the hostel are excellent due to which regular checks are done. 
• Everything is maintained accordingly and thereby keeping a record of everything, and providing the necessary things to students when they require. 
• But there are of course some strict rules that are told in the orientation itself. 
• All the students should abide by some certain set of rules like no smoking inside the hostel or campus area, no one is allowed to go out after the decided time by the authorities, there should not be any loud music played inside the hostel so that others should not get disturbed, and many more that are necessary.

Last but not least we can conclude that NICMAR provides all the facilities in the hostel that are needed to live there easily and try to make the hostel the second home of the students so that they can make their college as well as hostel life memorable.

NICMAR, keep in mind that you have never been known to add a lot of value to students interested in core construction. My brother is a NICMAR graduate, and yes, it helps because there is no other institute from which the construction industry can recruit students.

NICMARians can work in non-core construction jobs, but never in Core Construction. Furthermore, they have a serious attitude problem because construction does not always go as planned.

Spending Rs 13 Lakhs in this market is not a good investment. As the average CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA, according to the recent placement highlights. 

In terms of student content, NICMAR has never had a lot of credibility. Yes, it is a good filtering process, and thus companies use NICMAR because it allows them to choose from a pre-filtered lot.

If you really want to pursue a career in the Technical field then it will be suggested to go with M.Tech as you might get ended up in some renowned structural engineer. You can also pursue any other subject as well if you are interested. 

This will open an opportunity in doing a lectureship in college. By doing so, you can further pursue Ph.D.

It would be highly suggested to go with GATE only if you are getting into top IITs and NITs as it will make an impact on future references.

Apart from this, if your interest area is in Civil engineering but in a different domain, then go for NICMAR as it will open the option for accounting, marketing, business development, contracts, planning, valuation, execution, etc. By doing so, you might as well end up as a successful corporate or entrepreneur.
