The construction sector is a key driver of the overall development a country. The sector focuses on power, roads and bridges, dams and urban infrastructure. Government of India policies and plans aimed at improving the infrastructure, with specific focus on urban transformation (Smart City, Housing for all, etc.). This growth of the infrastructure sector offers job opportunities for Civil Engineering (CE) graduates. The construction Industry offers variety of job roles in different sectors. Construction industry requires application of skills and knowledge to perform duties in the planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of building structures, and facilities. Roads, railroads, airports, bridges, harbors, channels, dams, irrigation projects, pipelines, power plants, water and sewage systems, and waste disposal units are specific areas to fit for the jobs. Therefore, students enroll to civil engineering degree for build their career. The present paper focuses on civil engineering students' specific skills and how roles and responsibilities can be allocated to them. This paper also suggests initiatives to improve the skills and knowledge preferred by the Indian construction companies for the jobs.

Survey on requirements prioritization to identify the practices related to requirements prioritization among the software development organizations and to understand association of requirements prioritization' effects on software deliveries and resources is designed and conducted for projects/products in different domains across organizations. The results are analyzed for identifying areas that needed attention in terms of requirements prioritization. The survey and analysis enable understanding the need for requirements prioritization for stable and smooth release cycles. A multi-level framework utilizing the concepts of ABC analysis is suggested as a method for prioritization, for predictable and stable releases.
