Our department hosted a technical talk on "Opportunities in Quantity Surveying" for the final year students on 7 January 2025. The session was handled by Mr. Jubair K V, Seniro QS at CBG, Qatar and the event was conducted in collaboration with Entry App. 

With his extensive experience and expertise in the field, Mr. Jubair provided the attendees with an in-depth understanding of quantity surveying, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. He provided real-world examples from his professional experience, illustrating the impact of accurate cost estimation and effective contract management on project success. He detailed the key skills required for a successful career in quantity surveying, including analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and proficiency in software tools such as AutoCAD, MS Excel, and specialized estimating software. He also highlighted the importance of continuous learning and professional certifications in advancing one's career in quantity surveying.

Mr. Jubair shared insights on career prospects in various sectors, including infrastructure development, real estate, and consultancy firms. He encouraged students to consider pursuing professional certifications such as RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and CIQS (Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors) to enhance their employability and career growth. In the Q&A session that followed, students sought guidance in career and further growth in the area. The event not only broadened students' understanding of the profession but also inspired them to explore careers in this field.
