Diploma in Civil Engineering
Training Tomorrow's Civil Engineers for India's Infrastructure Development
Program overview
Vikrant University's Diploma in Civil Engineering at Gwalior is a three year Full-Time Technical Program designed to develop professionals in the growing construction and infrastructure industry. The objectives of the program is to give students a strong foundation of Civil Engineering knowledge and practical skills relating to the construction industry (construction methods, surveying, material testing, drawing and drafting, and site supervision).
Civil engineers contribute significantly to a nation’s development through the construction of roads, bridges, buildings, water supply systems, and related public works; the rapid pace of urbanization and large-scale infrastructure projects now occurring in India has created a demand for civil engineers who have been trained in the construction industry.
The Vikrant University Civil Engineering Diploma Program provides students with skills that are relevant to working in the construction industry (skills used in real-world situations) and experience that will allow them to contribute to projects from day one of their career. The diploma program has a structured curriculum that is delivered over a six-semester period and includes both classroom experience and hands-on fieldwork that prepare graduates for jobs as well as to continue on to further studies.
