Four CEG Guindy PG Civil Engineering Courses Achieve 100 Percent Placement
Four postgraduate civil engineering courses at the College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) achieved 100 percent campus placement during the 2025-26 academic year. Every student who registered for placements in these four specific programs secured job offers, with annual pay packages ranging from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 22 lakh.
The perfect placement record was achieved across four Master of Engineering (ME) programmes: structural engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, and environmental management.
Specifically, all nine students from the ME structural engineering program who sat for campus placements secured jobs. Additionally, eight students each from ME construction engineering and ME environmental engineering, along with six students from ME environmental management, achieved full placement.
Prominent companies participating in the recruitment drive included VA Tech Wabag, Fichtner Consulting Engineers (India) Private Limited, L&T, and Sonne Infrastructure.
Anna University registrar (in-charge) V Kumaresan attributed the success to a rising demand for core engineers and proactive student upskilling. Kumaresan stated that the university has signed MoUs with companies such as Nemetschek and Bentley to offer specialised courses in building information modelling (BIM) and urban flood modelling.
S Kanmani, the head of the civil engineering department at CEG, added that internships have been instrumental in helping both undergraduate and postgraduate students secure job offers.
In the undergraduate division, 136 students graduated from BE civil engineering, BE civil engineering (Tamil medium), and BE geoinformatics. Out of the 67 undergraduate students who opted for campus placements, 54 secured jobs, representing an 81 percent placement rate. Kanmani noted that 40 percent of the undergraduate civil engineering students opted for government jobs, while 5 percent chose higher studies and another 5 percent pursued entrepreneurship.
According to department placement coordinators, heavy national investment in infrastructure modernisation, climate resilience, urban development, transport networks, renewable energy, and smart cities has significantly driven up the demand for civil engineers. This has also created a strong need for professionals skilled in intelligent infrastructure systems, including GIS, IoT, and digital twin platforms.
