If you’re aiming for a career in surveying, mapping, and GIS in Nepal, this CTEVT Diploma in Geomatics Engineering at Jibraj Ashrit Polytechnic Institute, Isma, Gulmi, gives a clear path.
The program runs for three academic years (six semesters) under the national CTEVT curriculum and addresses field surveying, remote sensing, GIS, cartography, and land administration.
Students follow the official CTEVT three-year semester system. Each academic year has two semesters with a defined weekly workload.
Duration: 3 years, 6 semesters.
Intake: Up to 48 students per batch.
Teaching & assessment: Lectures, labs, fieldwork, industrial practice, continuous assessment, and finals.
Attendance: Minimum 90% per subject to sit finals.
Career level on graduation: Eligible for Non-gazetted 1st class/Level-5 (technical).
Here’s what you’ll study over three years. Core subjects include Survey Instruments & Concepts, Control Survey, Cartography, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Topographical Survey, Cadastral Surveying, Land Administration and Land Laws, Engineering Survey, GIS Applications, CAD, Basic Computer Programming, and a capstone Project Work.
Graduates learn to acquire spatial data, process and present results, interpret aerial/remote-sensing imagery, and continue higher studies.
Work opportunities exist in surveying, mapping, and GIS across government, engineering projects, and private consultancies in Nepal and abroad.
Carry out land, engineering, and topographic surveys with standard instruments.
Prepare maps and spatial datasets using GIS and cartographic principles.
Handle cadastral work and apply land laws in practical settings.
Students build software and field skills through CAD, Basic Computer Programming, GIS Applications, and a supervised Project Work.
Learning combines illustrated lectures, tutorials, group discussion, simulation, guided practice, fieldwork, industrial practice, report writing, and seminars.
