Overview
Pre-Diploma in Survey Engineering (AMIN) — Nepal Technical Institute, Janakpurdham
The AMIN program at Nepal Technical Institute, Janakpurdham, follows the CTEVT framework for land measurement and basic mapping tasks. Training covers plane surveying, leveling, field notes, and map preparation needed by local offices and projects.
Eligibility and Duration
The course usually spans about 18 months. Entry is through the CTEVT process with merit listing, counseling, and document checks aligned to TSLC rules.
Curriculum and Practical Learning
Main topics include:
-
Plane table surveying, chain and compass work
-
Leveling, contours, and field note preparation
-
Simple traverse, error checks, and plotting
-
Introduction to basic GIS terms and map reading
-
Communication and applied science related to survey work
Field practice forms a large portion of learning. Students work in small teams to collect data, keep neat field books, and prepare plots with correct symbols and scales.
NTI arranges practice within reachable areas so learners can handle instruments repeatedly and compare results.
Assessment and Certification
Internal tests, practical exams, assignments, and CTEVT finals determine completion. Field books, plotted maps, and error analysis are checked during evaluation. Graduates receive the CTEVT TSLC certificate after passing all components.
Career Pathways
Graduates support land measurement, municipal mapping tasks, and basic records in local offices under supervision. Many later move to diploma-level civil or survey-related programs if eligible.
