The Diploma in Geomatics Engineering trains students in land surveying, mapping, and spatial data handling. The program follows the current CTEVT framework with strong attention to field procedures, accuracy checks, and data presentation.
Duration: Three years with studio, lab, and field camps
Seats: 48 (as approved)
Affiliation: CTEVT
Learning mode: Theory, instrument handling, CAD/GIS basics, and project reports
Facilities: Survey instruments, drafting tools, computer lab, and library references
Core domains include:
Surveying I/II/III: chain/tape methods, leveling, traversing, contouring, and error checks
Instruments: auto level, theodolite/total station basics, GNSS awareness as per curriculum
Geodesy basics, coordinate systems, and map projections at introductory depth
Cartography and Drafting: symbols, scales, and layout
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing at entry level
GIS Fundamentals: data models, attribute tables, simple analysis
CAD for plan production
Applied math, physics, and basic engineering concepts
Field books, processing sheets, and final drawings
Build accurate measurement habits and data discipline
Produce clean plans, profiles, and simple thematic maps
Prepare students for municipal works, roads, irrigation, and local planning tasks
Encourage safe field practice and care of instruments
Graduates can work as junior surveyors or assistants in public works, private firms, and development projects. With experience and further study, they can move to advanced roles in surveying and geospatial services.
Set up instruments, run checks, and record data correctly
Compute coordinates, bearings, and elevations with manual and digital steps
Draft neat maps and export files for printing or submission
Use CAD/GIS at a basic level for simple layouts
Follow safety rules during fieldwork and manage teams in small tasks
Level loops, traverse adjustment, and contour plotting
Total station routines and data download (as available)
GNSS logging for point features at introductory level
CAD layer standards and plotting practice
GIS attribute editing and simple queries
Teaching combines lectures, lab demos, and outdoor sessions. Students complete field camps, process data in the computer lab, and present maps with legends, scales, and north arrows. Internal assessments and viva support continuous progress.
SEE or equivalent with subject criteria as per CTEVT notice for Geomatics Engineering
Entrance and ranking per official rules

Scholarship schemes align with CTEVT categories and institutional notices. Applicants must meet eligibility, submit documents, and follow publication updates.
The program teaches reliable field habits and clean drafting. Students handle instruments, process data, and deliver layouts that match work site needs.
The Diploma in Geomatics Engineering offers a clear path into land measurement and mapping services. Graduates leave with practical exposure, basic CAD/GIS capability, and the discipline needed for site-based roles.
