Both RICS and NICMAR are reputed. On an overall scale, NICMAR will be a better option. It has huge contribution in the construction industry of India.
NICMAR Pune placements are pretty good. You will get opportunities to join reputed MNVs, Contractors, Banks, and IT companies. According to the recent placement highlights, the Real Estate Urban Infrastructure Management had an 100% placement rate. Some of the major recruiters that visit the campus placements are ITC, KPMG, Goldman Sachs, etc. The average CTC offered by the institute is INR 6.75 LPA.
In the construction management sector, NICMAR is a well-recognized brand name.
Construction management is offered by IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, and NIT Suratkal. The course name may not be exactly construction management, it is Construction Technology and Management in IIT D and Building Technology and Construction Management in IIT M. You can get into these programs through GATE.
Also, if you are in the final year of B Tech you can get into IIT D, IIT M, NIT Suratkal, and NIT Trichy through the Build India Scholarship of L&T construction.
There are no other prestigious institute that offers construction management courses
Amity University's RICS School of Built Environment (RICS SBE) is an industry led academic college in Noida and Mumbai. NBA-accredited courses are offered at the institute. Diplomas are offered by RICS SBE. Advantages of RICS over NICMAR are as follows :-
Lower fees - You can chose RICS for its lower fees and excellent education. RICS offers a professional MBA with MRICS, but NICMAR charges a lot for a diploma. I believe the fee fluctuates between 2–5 lakhs.
Commendable placement record - Almost all students are placed in prominent corporate and government institutions in India and abroad. Management takes student placements seriously and helps students find the right career. However, with almost no multinational companies coming to school, the average income at NICMAR has dropped, making aspirational earnings dubious.
Faculty- Subject matter experts curate and teach all RICS SBE courses. Industry specialists and academics teach construction, management, and infrastructure. Their hands-on approach helps you develop career-boosting abilities.
Batch size- RICS SBE accepts no more than 300 students per batch since the faculty believes in providing quality education and personal attention to each student. Students are then split into groups for one-on-one instruction.
NICMAR, RICS, SCMHRD, and XIMB all of these are reputed management institutes in India. NICMAR conducts NCAT and SCMHRAD conducts SNAP to take admission. Whereas, XIMB and RICS select students based on their performance in CAT/XAT/GMAT, etc.
