Diploma in Civil Engineering is a 3-year technical diploma program that imparts knowledge in planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, canals, and dams. The course combines theoretical subjects with practical fieldwork and lab training in surveying, drafting, material testing, and structural analysis.

Students learn to use modern tools like AutoCAD, STAAD Pro, and Total Station to prepare construction plans and manage site operations. The curriculum is aligned with industry needs, enabling students to take on responsibilities in construction firms, public works departments, and architectural consultancies. The program also includes internship opportunities and industrial visits to provide real-world exposure.

Eligibility Criteria

• Must have passed 10th standard (SSC) from a recognized board.
• A minimum of 35%-50% marks in Science and Mathematics (as per institute norms).
• Students with 12th (Vocational/Science) or ITI background may be eligible for lateral entry into 2nd year.
• No strict age limit in most cases.
• Candidates must be physically fit and interested in fieldwork and construction.

Civil Engineering diploma holders are in demand for both government and private construction projects. Key job roles include:

• Site Supervisor
• Junior Civil Engineer
• Land Surveyor
• Construction Foreman
• CAD Technician (Civil)
• Structural Draughtsman
• Estimator and Quantity Surveyor
• Material Testing Technician
• Highway and Railway Technician
• Junior Engineer in PWD, Railways, CPWD, and PSUs

Graduates can also work with real estate developers, contractors, consultancy firms, and municipal bodies. After the diploma, students can pursue B.Tech in Civil Engineering via lateral entry, which opens pathways into structural design, project management, and government services like SSC JE or State Engineering Services.
