Most Diploma in Civil Engineering programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means structural analysis, surveying, geotechnical and transportation engineering, and construction management. Typical first jobs: site, structural or planning engineer, or a government engineering service.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Sai Nath University for the current semester-wise plan.
