Will these kind of projects able to address the present Job scenario for young engineering graduates?
Experts says:-  Of-course it does create an enormous number of opportunity for Civil engineers and all other engineering branches and who can be able to reinforce their career. But projects like these demand a skilled and highly management scope as in 
  • Real estate (Renewal and development, Housing , Commercial, Retail, Hospitality, Recreation, Education etc.)
  • Transportation systems (roads, rail transit)
