The Diploma in Civil Engineering at Nepal Technical Institute (NTI), Janakpurdham, follows the CTEVT curriculum and assessment rules. The program prepares learners for site supervision, quantity work, surveying, drafting, and basic project coordination. Teaching takes place through classroom sessions, drawing practice, labs, and field exposure.
NTI aligns scheduling, internal evaluation, and practical work with CTEVT’s directives and examination calendar.
The course typically spans three academic years under CTEVT. Entry is based on the CTEVT entrance process and published merit lists. Applicants must meet the academic criteria set by CTEVT for diploma-level engineering programs and complete counseling and verification within the stated deadlines.
The curriculum covers:
Engineering drawing, building materials, concrete technology
Surveying (chain, compass, level, theodolite, total station basics)
Hydraulics and water supply basics, sanitation
Soil mechanics fundamentals and estimation
Transportation basics and construction management fundamentals
Communication, applied mathematics, and engineering science
Practice includes drawing board sessions, surveying camps, material testing, estimation exercises, and mini projects. NTI provides labs and workshops for materials testing and surveying instruments. Field visits in and around Janakpurdham help students relate classroom learning to road works, water structures, and local construction sites. Safety, documentation, and standard measurement methods receive constant attention.
Internal assessments, practical exams, project work, and CTEVT board examinations determine final outcomes. Attendance, lab records, and timely submission of tasks are part of routine checks. On successful completion, CTEVT awards the diploma certificate.
Graduates may work as junior supervisors, quantity assistants, lab assistants (materials), drafting assistants, and surveying assistants in contractors’ offices, consulting units, and municipal projects. Many opt for further study in bachelor-level civil or related programs (subject to university rules). The institute encourages students to maintain portfolios of drawings, survey records, and site notes for placement use.
Discipline-specific drawing and surveying practice
