NICMAR, India’s premier and dedicated institution for Construction,Real Estate, Infrastructure and Project Management education (CRIP), has announced its third round of applications for its 2026 academic year will close soon, for Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR Campuses – MBA, M.Tech, & PGDM Programs.
With India’s infrastructure sector entering a phase of accelerated expansion, spanning highways, urban transformation, energy transition and industrial corridors, there is a visible demand from the industry and its allied sectors for young engineering graduates with specialised, sector-aligned management education.
Founded in 1983, NICMAR is an autonomous, non-governmental, not-for-profit education institution with campuses across Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR and Mumbai. Furthermore, the institute is backed by India’s top construction houses such as HCC, Shapoorji Pallonji etc., which has evolved the institution into a specialised, multi-campus institution shaping leadership talent for India’s rapidly expanding infrastructure economy.
Highlighting the industry demand, talent gap and encouraging potential students to apply soon, Dr.Tapash Kumar Ganguli, Director General, NICMAR said, “With India’s infrastructure growing at scale, creating new opportunities, the industry seeks a new-generation of professionals who can integrate engineering expertise with project leadership and execution excellence. As career preferences evolve, students are increasingly opting for domain-specific education that offers clarity of career trajectory, particularly in sectors that are central to India’s long-term growth.At NICMAR, our focus has always been to bridge this gap through specialised, industry-aligned programmes built on over four decades of domain experience.”
With over 32,000+ alumni across 34 countries, 200+ recruiters, and an average CTC of Rs 9.25 lakh per annum, highest at Rs 30 lakh, NICMAR remains one of India’s most trusted institutions for sector-aligned postgraduate& undergraduate education. Additionally, as the infrastructure sector continues to evolve, the demand is shifting from purely technical roles to professionals who can translate engineering knowledge into execution, coordination and leadership on complex projects.
NICMAR’s programmes are designed with this requirement at its core, enabling engineering graduates to transition into roles that influence project timelines, cost efficiency, sustainability and on-ground delivery, through a combination of industry-integrated curriculum, applied learning and field exposure, equipping students to operate in real-world project environments from early in their academic journey.
At the Union Budget 2025, the government allocated Rs 11.11 lakh crore to drive India’s infrastructure sector and national programmes such as the Gati Shakti Master Plan, Smart Cities Mission, green warehousing and sustainable building.
NICMAR offers engineering graduates a clear pathway to transition into high-growth techno-managerial roles. By blending their technical foundation with specialised management education, NICMAR prepares students for leadership opportunities across the CRIP sector. This integrated approach – merging engineering expertise with industry-focused managerial skills – has become a key differentiator for NICMAR graduates.
