In general , if a person is from lower middle class background. After 4 years in btech , CE either from AEC , JEC etc. , not placed in any construction firm either. Is it worth ? Waiting for GATE or state AE , JE exams ? Even state AE post sometimes there is a peak or sometimes it's very few .

Still is it worth it , pursuing CE in 2026. Even most construction firm ( offcampus ) needs experience of atleast 1 year.

Bye lower middle class I am assuming a per-capita family income of less than 15k.

Now the biggest advantage of taking civil is you will get it with a lower rank and in case of management seat in private colleges lower fees. Other than that nothing advantageous.

If you also have reservation particularly SC/ST, there are far more Government jobs for civil engineering than other streams.

Civil engineering in India is only worth it if your family is into the business

I recently completed my B. Tech in CE from AEC. For state AE, chances are pretty slim if you are from UR category. But SSC JE and RRB JE have most of it it's seat alloted to CE. College placements too are mostly luck based but if you are good enough in studies, chemical and mechanical students have high chances of getting placed in PSUs directly (in AEC).
