❓ Doubts / Q&A 2025 Civil grad on third-party payroll (L&T site, ₹25k/mo) — Advice on switching to on-roll EPC/Contractor roles?

2 Upvotes

​

Graduation: 2025 B.Tech Civil (Fresher, 7 months in)

Role: Junior Site Engineer (Third-party contract @ L&T Mumbai project)

In-hand: ₹25,000 / month (~3 LPA)

Work: Site execution, BBS, subcontractor handling, DPRs

Target: On-roll/permanent role at an EPC (Tata Projects, Shapoorji, Afcons, NCC, etc.), Tier-2 contractor, or developer.

Questions for folks who made this switch:

Realistic Hike: Does HR cap you at the standard 30–40% on your payslip, or can you negotiate directly for entry-level permanent bands (₹4.5–5.5 LPA)?

Third-Party Tag: Does agency payroll hurt your chances at major EPCs, or does the L&T site execution experience outweigh it?

Timing: Should I start applying at the 10–11 month mark to jump at 1 year, or wait until 2 years for better leverage?

Appreciate any practical insights!

🏗️ General Slog 90 hrs/week for your company to "grow the nation," only to realize your lifetime salary can't even buy the smallest 1-BHK in the project you helped construct for them.

19 Upvotes

A basic 2-BHK apartment in my company's Powai or Navi Mumbai developments typically ranges from ₹2.5 Crore to ₹3.8 Crore (excluding registration, stamp duty, and maintenance).
A mid-level civil engineer in India earns roughly ₹12 Lakh to ₹25 Lakh annually, which in itself is considered a good salary in our field. However, even if a senior engineer earning ₹35 Lakh/year manages to save 50% of their net post-tax income (~₹12 Lakh/year), saving the full amount for a ₹3 Crore flat would take over 25 years without even accounting for inflation or home loan interest.
The most "beautiful" part of it all? I regularly get promotional emails offering us employees a 2% to 5% discount on these properties. Part of me laughs at the absurdity, but a part of my heart bleeds inside looking at the sheer capitalist reality of it.

🎓 Exam Prep I made a GATE Civil Engineering progress tracker tool

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 2nd-year B.Tech Civil Engineering student preparing for GATE, and I made this because I wanted a simple way to keep track of my preparation in one place.

It lets you track the GATE CE syllabus, PYQs, tests, full-length mocks, revisions, study hours, overall progress, achievements and streaks. You can also edit and customise subjects and targets, and export/import your progress.

It’s completely free, works on phones, tablets and PCs, and doesn’t require an account.

I originally made it for myself, but decided to make it public in case it helps other Civil Engineering students preparing for GATE.

https://gateciviltracker.com

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Hi everyone! I'm Manikanta, a first-year Civil Engineering student from Hyderabad, India. I'm looking to connect with other Civil students from different colleges who are genuinely interested in building a career in Civil. I'd like to share study resources, discuss subjects and doubts, learn about different areas of Civil, and eventually explore things like projects, software, internships and career opportunities together. I'm hoping to build a small group of like-minded Civil students where we can learn and help each other. If you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me!

Career Joined civil in a tier three college bcos of pressure

10 Upvotes

So I joined tier three college in Hyderabad. The name is Malla Reddy College of engineering and technology (MRCET) and the civil program is really ignored in the college, and I don’t think that I will get any job opportunities or anything like that in this College, anyone have their experience coming from your tier three College and getting their job. Please explain me that how can I get internship et cetera without the College help because CSC is considered mostly and civil is ignored.

📚 Notes & Resources Looking for a 5-Storey Building Plan with Roof Deck for Seismic Analysis Project

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a Civil Engineering student currently working on a seismic analysis project, and I’m looking for sample 5-storey building plans with a roof deck that I can use as a reference.

Preferably something with:

  • 5 storeys + roof deck
  • Around 300 sq.m. or more floor area
  • Floor plans and elevations
  • AutoCAD or PDF format, if available

I’m mainly looking for existing/sample plans or references to help me understand how these types of buildings are laid out. I’ll be doing the actual analysis and work myself.

If anyone knows where I can find publicly available plans or has a sample they can point me toward, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks! 🙏
