The Diploma in Civil Engineering at Rajbiraj Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is a three-year technical program that prepares students with practical and theoretical knowledge in structural development, construction methods, and engineering design. Introduced in partnership with CTEVT, the course is aligned with national education standards and aims to meet growing communities' infrastructure and construction needs.
CTEVT approves the curriculum and includes core subjects such as engineering mathematics, applied mechanics, structural analysis, surveying, hydraulics, building materials, transportation engineering, and construction management.
In addition to classroom instruction, students participate in laboratory sessions, practical fieldwork, and project-based learning that reflect real-world applications in public and private infrastructure.
To provide foundational knowledge in civil engineering principles
To build applied skills in construction planning and supervision
To prepare students for field-based responsibilities in engineering projects
To contribute to local and regional development through technical education
Graduates of this program are equipped to support infrastructure projects in sectors like road construction, irrigation systems, residential and commercial buildings, and public utilities. The diploma is also a gateway to further study in engineering or related disciplines.
Upon completion, students will be able to:
Interpret construction drawings and site plans
Apply surveying techniques and leveling instruments
Manage construction materials and evaluate structural quality
Estimate costs, prepare technical reports, and coordinate fieldwork
The program includes specialized modules in:
AutoCAD and computer-aided design
Surveying and topographical mapping
Soil testing and material analysis
Structural drawing and reinforcement detailing
These modules help students become job-ready with both manual and digital engineering skills.
The course combines classroom lectures, lab practice, group projects, field visits, and internship placements. This blended approach encourages applied learning and professional discipline in civil engineering tasks.
