The verdict
Worth considering
This is a solid pick if you're fixated on core Civil roles in South India and want early exposure to BIM and structural software. The 60% placement rate and ₹3.2 LPA average mean you'll need to hustle for premium offers, but core infra recruiters like L&T and Afcons do hire here. Skip if you're chasing an IIT/NIT tag or IT-level starting packages.
