00:02:09
you better what was your favorite
00:02:11
subject in school or in your previous
00:02:15
course my favorite subject is in my
00:02:19
previous course is Highway engineering
00:02:21
Highway engineering is the branching
00:02:23
from civil engineering that involves
00:02:26
uh um planning
00:02:31
then construction operation maintenance
00:02:33
of
00:02:34
roads brids and tunnels and also
00:02:38
involves the
00:02:40
uh effective and safe transportation
00:02:43
system of uh goods and
00:02:58
people why did you find the subject more
00:03:02
interesting other uh I like the water
00:03:05
Engineering
00:03:14
also why did you find uh these subjects
00:03:17
more
00:03:18
interesting because uh in this water
00:03:22
engineering subject there are many
00:03:24
problem in the current scenario uh in a
00:03:28
cpage and where
00:03:30
building collapse from ground floor so
00:03:33
it's very difficult to it solution it's
00:03:37
very difficult so in this subject I
00:03:40
wanted to study in deeply so I can help
00:03:44
the uh government or any
00:03:55
companies have you studied in the UK
00:03:57
before no I have not studied any
00:04:02
time can you give me a summary of your
00:04:05
previous studies in Home
00:04:08
Country yes of course I have completed
00:04:11
secondary and higher secondary education
00:04:13
from Surat and after after I have
00:04:16
completed my bachelor of civil
00:04:18
engineering from Gujarat Technological
00:04:21
University with 7.65 cgpa in this course
00:04:26
I have studied basics of environment
00:04:29
engineer engering irrigation engineering
00:04:31
Structural Engineering Harbor and
00:04:33
Airport engineering Railway engineering
00:04:35
Structural Engineering um surveying town
00:04:39
planning concrete technology and many
00:04:43
projects and also in last semester we
00:04:47
did complete the uh Village project
00:04:50
under the vishwakarma
00:04:55
yoga when when did you finish your SS
00:04:59
HSC and uh Bachelor of civil engineering
00:05:04
and yeah and how much have you
00:05:06
scored SSC I have completed in
00:05:10
2010 is 83 percentage and HSC is
00:05:15
completed in 2012 is uh 66 percentage
00:05:19
and uh uh 7.65 cgpa in Bachelor of civil
00:05:24
engineering in
00:05:28
2017
00:05:34
what was your last qualification
00:05:37
level my last qualification is a
00:05:39
bachelor of civil
00:05:45
engineering when did you finish your
00:05:46
last
00:05:48
course
00:05:50
2017 what have you been doing since you
00:05:53
finished your last course after Bachelor
00:05:56
of civil engineering I work as a site
00:05:58
engineer
00:06:00
and right now also I work as a site
00:06:01
engineer in J&P
00:06:11
construction why have you decided to
00:06:13
return to full-time studies
00:06:16
now I have decided uh during uh coid
00:06:20
pandemic I lost my job in
00:06:25
2020
00:06:27
so I went to Africa
00:06:30
for 2 years and I returned back to my
00:06:32
home country as my job contract got over
00:06:35
then at that time during my work
00:06:37
experience I realized that um I not able
00:06:41
to uh get further progression in my
00:06:43
career so I should study further so this
00:06:47
will help me to Bo my career so I
00:06:51
thought study further is my for for my
00:06:54
future Prospect very
00:06:58
good
00:07:11
what course have you applied for at
00:07:14
lsbu I have course applied for master of
00:07:18
civil engineering this is this course is
00:07:20
a advanced version of what I studied
00:07:22
earlier master of civil engineering
00:07:25
develops for Civ ambitious civil and
00:07:27
Structural Engineering Developers
00:07:30
and this this course builds the
00:07:34
technical and professional abilities
00:07:36
needed to contribute the civil
00:07:37
engineering the program equips with an
00:07:41
advanc uh Advanced knowledge bases in a
00:07:44
variety of topics ranging
00:07:46
from uh Advanced structure engineering
00:07:49
Advanced structure design uh soil
00:07:51
structure engineering finate element and
00:07:54
soil anal stress analysis Highway
00:07:57
engineering and operation Railway
00:07:59
engineer enging and asset management and
00:08:01
water
00:08:02
engineering according to my site
00:08:04
experience uh Bachelor of civil
00:08:06
engineering knowledge fall short so I uh
00:08:09
thought further study uh after this
00:08:13
study uh I I will have better
00:08:16
opportunity job opportunity in many
00:08:18
fields like uh Consulting civil engineer
00:08:21
site engineer uh geotechnical engineer
00:08:25
construction project manager
00:08:27
construction material engineer so on
00:08:30
could you give me some specific details
00:08:32
about the course that tell us any
00:08:33
specific modules in our course that made
00:08:36
you choose us yes I already tell about
00:08:39
Highway engineering is a branching of
00:08:41
civil engineering is a very famous uh
00:08:46
for our India also in the future because
00:08:50
at the present in India there are many
00:08:52
problem of Highway and water uh in many
00:08:55
places so I wanted to study in this
00:08:59
subject uh and there was only at one LSB
00:09:04
University that could guide me properly
00:09:07
in both this subject uh so I prefer LSB
00:09:11
University IV engineering as I already
00:09:14
tell you is a branching of civil
00:09:16
engineering and uh that involves uh
00:09:18
operation uh planning operation
00:09:21
construction U maintenance of uh uh
00:09:25
Roads bridge and tunnels and also
00:09:28
effective and Safe Transportation of
00:09:30
people and
00:09:34
goods any other
00:09:36
modules that made you choose
00:09:40
us uh no I don't more about any other
00:09:44
modules I uh little bit about Highway
00:09:48
engineering and water
00:09:50
engineering because I want to deeply
00:09:52
study in about this subject
00:09:58
more
00:10:00
did you consider any other universities
00:10:02
in the UK or anywhere
00:10:04
else yes I
00:10:07
have selected LSB University among the
00:10:10
three University these three
00:10:12
universities are LSB University second
00:10:14
her forsh University and uh uh
00:10:17
University of East London LSB university
00:10:21
has third rank in teaching quality in
00:10:23
the UK uh and uh also top 800 one to
00:10:29
1,000 universities globally by Qs world
00:10:32
ranking 2023 and the guardian ranking of
00:10:35
lsbu is a 96 in 2023 and lsbu has has
00:10:42
been awarded silver for its teaching
00:10:45
Excellence under the government of UK
00:10:48
and lsbu has specialism in particular
00:10:52
aspect of civil engineering like
00:10:54
Structural Engineering Highway
00:10:55
engineering Railway and water uh
00:11:00
transport and uh after this course
00:11:04
completion is a very better future for
00:11:06
my and as I already tell about highway
00:11:11
highway engineering and water
00:11:12
Engineering in India's problem so I
00:11:15
choose LSB University that could guide
00:11:17
me properly in both this subject and
00:11:19
other university uh have not that module
00:11:23
so I choose LSB
00:11:27
University
00:11:43
hello why did you choose LSB as compared
00:11:46
to any other
00:11:48
university because in any other
00:11:50
university I tell about what engineering
00:11:53
and Highway engineering these both
00:11:55
subjects not available in is
00:11:59
universities so I choose LSB
00:12:06
University what do you plan to do once
00:12:09
you finish your studies at
00:12:11
lspu after my course completion of a
00:12:14
master of civil engineering my plan and
00:12:16
my intention is return return back to my
00:12:18
country home uh India and uh take up a
00:12:22
position in a engineering
00:12:26
firm and there are many job opportun
00:12:29
opportunities in well reputed companies
00:12:32
of India like J um
00:12:35
lnt Reliance infrastructure Hindustan
00:12:38
construction Reliance infrastructure
00:12:40
Hindustan construction and uh J&P
00:12:53
construction because the cost of
00:12:55
studying this program in the UK is so
00:12:57
high what are the benefits of you
00:12:59
studying this course in relation to your
