POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN APPLIED CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (PGPACM)
CAREER PROSPECTS
A fresh engineer is prepared to handle responsibilities of Engineer – Execution, Planning, Estimation, and Quality. You can become eligible for Managerial positions within 1 to 3 years of relevant exposure which otherwise takes 12-15 long years.
DURATION
Its a 4+2 months Programme with classes on weekdays. Classes usually will be for 2-4 hours everyday including theory and lab practice.
ELIGIBILITY
1. This is one of the best courses after civil engineering & architectural studies, and hence requires an individual to be BE / BTech Civil Engineering / B.Arch. from AICTE recognized university having min. 50% overall marks. Final year Civil Engineering students can also apply.
2.For architectural candidates, min. 1 yr. of experience is necessary.
HOSTEL & ACCOMMODATION
Edge provides full support in getting a good accommodation in reasonable budget in the area in the close proximity of the institute. We have tie ups with boys and girls hostels which are within 2 Km distance. Most of the students prefer PG (paying guest) accommodation. Institute helps all to get such accommodation as well. Cost of living (food and stay) in Hyderabad will charge approx.. 5000 to 8000/- a month. Ample options are available to get variety of food in nearby hotels and mess.
PLACEMENT
This is one of the most effective certification courses for civil engineers that open up placement opportunities in various areas of Construction Project Management like Billing & Estimation, Planning, Execution or QA-QC. At EDGE, our attempt is to maintain 100% placement record. Students either get placed –in campus or off campus from our side or earn job by themselves. Advance knowledge of Construction Management, Project Management, related software and soft skills help students get easily placed. It’s not only a certification course, but moreover a rigorous professional training to build competencies. Salary packages are completely based on the calibre of students, their attitude and technical knowhow. These are the reasons why EDGE’s PG in construction management is among the top construction management courses in India.
WHY PGPACM AT EDGE?
PGPACM course is a incubator for a graduate to become professional and hence all systems and policies are set accordingly. Students are informed to refer the academic calendar. Entire program consists of around 180 days including coursework & assignment days, national holidays and Sundays. No other holidays are granted to students. Students shall maintain 90 per cent attendance to be eligible to pass each level and to get full benefit of the program and final certificate.
