The placements are majorly in the core construction companies like L&T, HCC, Simplex, NBTC Kuwait, Sobha Dubai, Patel Engineering, CBRE, Asian Paints, ICICI Bank Ltd (Valuation profile) and many more. Placement percentage ranges between 95-100%. Average package is somewhat near 6 lakhs(INR) P.A. The highest package may go as above as 15-20lakhs(INR) P.A. The Alumni network is good enough. There are a lot of groups through which one can interact with them.

Classrooms are well maintained. Labs are well equipped and libraries are also filled with a lot of books.

The admission is based on NICMAR Common Admission Test. The test procedure consists of an Aptitude test followed by the PI on the same day. Eligibility criteria are BE/B.Tech.

The syllabus of NICMAR deals with around 40 subjects including different workshops for software like MSP, Primavera P6, CCS Candy, risk, MS Excel, SPSS, etc. All the subjects are industry oriented and the teaching environment is quite good.

Per year fees are almost around 6.5 lakhs(INR) per year including hostel and mess charges. The one who tops the entire NICMAR gets an Excalibur award and gets the fee refund for a semester. Top 10 students of all campuses get scholarships. NICMAR also sponsors 2 students from each campus to appear for CAPM/PMP certification exam. As there are 4 campuses so 4×10=40 + 1. 41 students get scholarships every semester. Loans are easily available from any bank.

Student Council is there which is responsible for organizing various activities like Janmashtami, Ganesh Pooja, Dipawali, Christmas and all. One main event is Techno-managerial-Cultural fest which is organized on each campus. Sports events are organized a feom time to time.
