Lifetime Experience at NBCC Ltd.

The last 6 weeks of my internship provided me so much knowledge and experience in field. My Internship was at National Building Construction Corporation Ltd.

There we were provided our Industry guide Mr. Sanjay Pandey.

Sir, helped us a lot in clearing our doubts and even enhances our knowledge a lot. The main agenda was the construction of Solar Energy Centre at the outskirt of the city Gurgaon.

The building is need to made such like that so that after full construction, solar panels could be installed on them and the power backup should be stored in the underground Energy Plant.

Mr. Pandey treat us like their student and guide us everywhere, the only regret I have that there is a lot of difference between what we studied in books and daily life experience and that’s why it is said that as a civil engineer, it’s the experience which is counted. We even got to learn a lot from the skilled labour present there. Though they were not aware of the technical words like Mr. Sanjay knows but they tell us a lot with their years of experience. Some of the random test they did in situation as well as some of the approximation they took.

The construction was on full pace and different areas were running simultaneously, hostel areas and Zone 1 and Zone 2 , We need to report at 10 in the morning but sometimes due to unfavourable reasons we couldn’t make it on time but still Sanjay sir never complain too much. His calm and friendly nature helped us a lot in many of ways; we were free to ask random questions. He even shows us how to calculate area and read plans and how to implement them. He even took us to testing labs where he helped us in performing some tests; some were for strength, quality check, etc.

We even came to know about different software’s which are used in civil engineering to make the task easy, accurate and efficient.

We just need to input some necessary data and everything is in front of us with just one click, Bending Moment, Shear force, at what distance column should be provided and etc. 

We even learn how to done costing, draft letter and other daily documents.

Overall my experience as an intern was very good but as a civil engineer it required lot of physical labour as well as mental stress. We need to stand under sun for hours no matter what but at the end, if u r satisfied with what u did, then it’s worth it.

Management is a big task as a civil engineer, tackling every person and dealing with every type of person whether he is illiterate labour, a contractor or some government officer, is sometimes a tough job. But again I would say, nothing is easy it’s the person who sail through everything and make it to his destiny.

Thank you NBCC Ltd. for providing me such a great experience.
