At the onset I would like to admit that it is extremely exciting to write something about your own self. Given this opportunity I would like to share my honest views about joining NICMAR after having worked for a period of three years.
Immediately after completing my graduation from N.I.T Silchar, I started my career as a Graduate Engineer Trainee in Hindustan Construction Company Ltd., being selected through campus placements. After successfully completing the training period of 1 year, I was absorbed as a Site Engineer looking after execution. Subsequently I went on to become a Contracts Engineer at the prestigious Bandra-Worli Sea Link Project in Mumbai. While working at site I observed the application of some management aspects to construction activities in order to improve the productivity. These aspects were not covered in our Undergraduate Programme. Thus I realized the importance of getting myself acquainted with these management aspects in order to keep pace with the ever changing face of Construction Industry.
Keeping this in view, the next thing was to look for an Institute to suit my requirements and the search ended with NICMAR as it offered tailor-made courses for today’s Industry. But the decision to leave the job after a duration of three years wasn’t an easy one. I had to choose between working with the existing profile in a reputed Organization and joining a full time Post Graduate Programme. But with the help and support of family and friends alike I could get over the dilemma.
Now after completing 1 trimester here I strongly believe that I made the right decision. Being in NICMAR I have had the opportunity to interact with students coming from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Their enriching knowledge and experience have helped me to look at situations from a fresher perspective, keeping aside my earlier perceptions.
Further, deeply knowledgeable faculty carrying rich experience from various facets of the industry make NICMAR a befitting place to be in, to gain knowledge about the various aspects of Construction Management. Their valuable inputs and suggestions have helped me analyze and reach suitable inferences about some of the practical problems that I faced during my professional tenure.
NICMAR also provides a tremendous platform for students to bring out their hidden creative talents and try something new which they wouldn’t have done earlier in their careers. NICMAR showcases the true balance between academic and extra-curricular activities with a whole lot of students activity going on the campus throughout the year like the functioning of various clubs such as the Newspaper Club, Movie Club, Adventure Club to name a few.
Also the opportunity given to me by the students to work as one of their Summer Interns
hip coordinators has been an experience worth mentioning. All in all I would say I am privileged to be a part of this illustrious Institute.
