1. COURSE INFORMATION

During the two-years’ duration a candidate is trained on subjects viz. Professional Skill,
Professional Knowledge and Employability skills. In addition to this a candidate is entrusted to make/do
project work and Extra Curricular Activities to build up confidence. The practical skills are imparted in
simple to complex manner & simultaneously Professional Knowledge (theory subject) is taught in the
same fashion to apply cognitive knowledge while executing task. The practical part starts with simple
geometrical drawing and finally ends with preparing topographical map, Cadastral/ mouza map,
detailed road project, survey drawing using CAD, application of GIS techniques, Hydrographic survey,
Transmission line site survey, railway line site survey, sanction plan of Residential / Public building, and
detailed estimate. The semester wise course coverage is categorized as below:-

FIRST YEAR: In the beginning of the course the trainees are acquainted with occupational safety &
health, PPE, etc. The practical part starts with basic drawing (consisting of lettering, numbering,
