Can you get a bachelor's degree in two years?
Most universities have a maximum number of hours that you can enroll in per term. Usually you can enroll in 18 semester hours without authorization. In four semesters you could earn 72 semester hours. Summer sessions limit students to 6 semester hours per session. Four semesters plus four summer sessions would give you 96 semester hours. Most degrees requires 120 semester hours. One way to get more hours without enrolling is to take College Level Equivalent Program exams. They cost $60 or more per test and there is a minimum acceptable score for each exam for each college or university. Or get authorization to enroll in more than the maximum semester hours! If you enroll in more courses than normal, realize you'll need to keep up with the work and pass the courses for them to count!

What extra things should a civil engineering student do in his B. Tech. to improve his chances at a brilliant career in engineering?
1. Internships, as everyone here mentioned, preferably at site would be ideal. Sweat it out and be sincere. General tendency of students is "yaar hafte mein ek baar chale jaayenge.. sab same hi to ho raha h.. sab samaj aa jaayega (We will go once a week... everything is being repeated.. we will understand it all easily) ". This is the biggest mistake that we do. Stay there and go there daily, because you never know what you may encounter. Sometimes even the most minute things like grouting and filling may be something that the company asks you. You would be surprised to know that I have had people at my sites who were new hires and weren't even aware of curing. And their resumes had big internships on them. So even if you make through it once, you may not last. So try staying at site and see what is happening. See it daily, it helps you memorize and visualize the sequence of activities, which will help you when you become project managers.2. Learn AutoCAD atleast, if you are interested to work as a design engineer. Rest is all taught by the companies. StaadPRO is another higher level software used in structural design.3. Try your hands on MS Project first, and then Primavera if you are interested to join the project planning team.4. Know your SFDs and BMDs well. A majority of companies have these standard questions on SFD and BMD, as they all come for recruiting structural designers.Basically, know your basics well and try to mould your interview in the direction that you are confident about. I twisted my interview by LnT from regular SFDs and BMDs to construction management and concrete technology. And finally got selected amongst the top 4 out of 70. All that a company looks for is a confident candidate, in whatever area you are interested, and be true to them. It is easy to crack an interview if you have been on sites and have experienced the stuff, because then it is crystal clear to you and your explanation will say for itself. All the best!
