If talking about the prospects, then NICMAR is totally worth enrolling at, mostly over many other institutions sharing the same amount of likelihood. 

• NICMAR has an emergent curriculum basically very well designed, with regular upgradation as per industrial demands. 
• The major upside it boasts is the number of specialists in the market that actually take responsibility for teaching in the institute, leading it to a prosperous site. 
• Being a student of NICMAR, you generally can enjoy the brand value the institute shares.
• The alumni network of the NICMAR is widely distributed over and across the nation, playing a pivotal role in a student’s career motive. 

The major significance every NICMAR student grabs off is that they usually arrive with a topmost priority in the Construction industry, unlike other students from a variety of institutes. 

There is no such thing as lowest CTC in NICMAR. It's very clear that if you don't perform well during the interview you will not receive any job offers. 

Now talking about the salary package, the batch of 2020 received an average package of 6.75 LPA. The placement percentage was recorded to be 99.2%

Coming to the question regarding how much you could expect depends upon various factors like your academic performance, the ongoing market scenarios, and your performance on the day. Additionally, if you have two years of work experience then it will all go well and you can even expect a package above 5 LPA.

It’s not mandatory that you have work experience, but it will be good if you have a couple of years of experience at the work front. This will give you a better understanding of the course at NICMAR. It’s also not compulsory to have work experience, in order to get placement. Although a few consulting companies do shortlist students based on their experience for better packages. But major recruiters are open for both. There are even some companies that prefer freshers. L&T is one such company. 

However, that does not mean, everyone from NICMAR gets placed. Only the deserving candidates get placed. 

Yes, there are a couple of ways you can try to pay your fees and complete your education. Your interest in the course is the only thing necessary. Not everyone on the NICMAR campus is rich or economically stable. To aid a student in terms of fees, there are scholarships available at NICMAR. 

If you score the highest marks in the NICMAR trimester, then you will be offered a 100% scholarship for that particular trimester.

Apart from this, there is an option to avail of an education loan. The banks which provide the education loans are available at the time of admission in the campus itself. 

The loans are to be paid after you get a job and these policies differ according to the bank for which you need to enquire with the respective banks. So, you can choose which suits you best and take it.

The NCAT is the entrance exam for NICMAR. According to some of my friends who have taken the exam, it is not that difficult but easy if you prepare well.

• For the written exam, you need to have hands-on practice with the aptitude and reasoning section. 
• You need to have good time management skills to ace the exam.
• The next round would be Group Discussion. For this, you have to keep a record of the current affairs of both the World and India along with the domain you are studying, be it Interiors or Civil. 
• Have a sound knowledge of the current technologies and reforms made in the particular domain.
• The last would be the personal interview round. It's quite easy if you have a command over your communication skills. 

An interview is nothing but an interaction. For the preparation, in the case of a fresher, you can tell your accomplishments during the time of graduation. If you are a working individual, you can share your learning, experiences, and the contribution you have made in the industry while working tenure. 

If you have joined Pune Campus, sit and relax. NICMAR is one of the reputed institutes for Construction Management. You will enjoy an unparalleled level of respect whenever you apply to companies like KPMG, L&T, Shapoorji Pallonji. 

However, the university will not provide you with everything. You have to work hard to grasp such reputation and job profiles. If you are scoring only 60% in your PG degree and expecting to secure a job offer on the very 1st day, then you are wrong.

The placement process is very rigorous and you might have to go through at least six stages to secure a job offer. Your profile, personality, caliber, capability, and hard work determine the job role you will get.

ACM has a huge strength of 800+ students and if you don't work hard then the recruiters would not have reasons to select you.
