There is no such thing as placement strategy but talking of placements, very few students of the civil branch are interested in it. 

• Most of the students go for IES or State government jobs. 
• The placement of core companies in campus placement do not prefer girls because of the security issues and therefore girls mostly prefer IT companies during placements. 
• In campus placement companies visit depends upon the concerned branches TPO. Students have to take place in soft companies. Many of them are placed in companies like IBM & TCS.

India is a developing country and there is a huge requirement for Civil Engineers and will be in the coming future for Infrastructure development. So, it would be good, just stay focused on the core subject.
