The Pre-Diploma in Civil Engineering at Central Engineering College, Janakpurdham, is a CTEVT-affiliated technical program for civil sub-overseer-level study. The course runs for 15 months and has 40 seats.
The program focuses on basic civil engineering work connected with building construction, water supply, irrigation, roads, trail bridges, surveying, and technical drawing. Its training is intended to develop the knowledge, practical skills, and working attitude required for basic-level civil engineering responsibilities.

Seats: 40
Pre-Diploma in Civil Engineering is centered on practical civil construction and infrastructure-related skills. Its stated aim is to prepare civil sub-overseers in construction technology, water supply, roads and trail bridges, and irrigation.
Rather than covering civil engineering only at a theoretical level, the program is directed toward basic technical tasks that arise in small-scale construction and infrastructure work.
Key areas identified for the course include:
Building construction
Water supply
Irrigation
Roads and trail bridges
Civil surveying
Technical drawing
Construction supervision
Surveying forms an important part of the program's intended technical preparation. Students are expected to develop skills for carrying out detailed surveying work related to small-scale rural water supply and hill irrigation schemes.
The course also includes drawing-related competence. Its objectives cover preparing drawings for small-scale rural water supply schemes, small irrigation structures, and minor residential buildings.
These areas connect field measurement with the preparation and interpretation of basic civil engineering drawings.
The program places particular attention on civil construction work. Its scope includes building construction, water supply systems, irrigation works, roads, and trail bridges.
One of the stated objectives is to prepare graduates to supervise civil construction activities at the basic technical level.
This makes the course distinct from the three-year Diploma in Civil Engineering offered at the same institution. Pre-Diploma in Civil Engineering follows a shorter 15-month route and is focused on civil sub-overseer preparation.
The course objectives indicate training in several practical areas:
Basic civil engineering technical work
Surveying for small-scale infrastructure schemes
Preparation of basic engineering drawings
Building construction work
Water supply-related construction
Irrigation-related work
Road and trail bridge construction
Basic supervision of civil construction activities
The curriculum orientation is therefore closely tied to field-level construction and infrastructure tasks rather than advanced engineering design.
Central Engineering College is located at Ramanand Chowk, Janakpurdham-8, Dhanusa, Madhesh Province. The college has laboratory facilities, classrooms, and library services. Its broader academic activities include seminars, workshops, guest lectures, excursions, tours, and field visits.
The institution offers technical education at different levels, including pre-diploma and diploma programs under CTEVT as well as bachelor-level engineering programs under Purbanchal University.
The training is oriented toward basic technical and supervisory functions in civil construction and infrastructure work. The areas identified for this preparation include construction companies and consulting-related work, government institutions, non-governmental organizations, and self-employment activities connected with civil construction skills.
Actual employment depends on the requirements of individual employers, organizations, projects, and recruitment processes.
It is a CTEVT-affiliated technical program focused on preparing civil sub-overseer-level personnel in areas such as construction technology, water supply, irrigation, roads, trail bridges, surveying, and drawing.
The Pre-Diploma in Civil Engineering program runs for 15 months.
