Rationale:
In case of long term planning the prospective cost of the construction project is required for
the planning of the budget.
Estimating and Costing determines the prospective costs of the construction project in
accordance to the plans and specifications for various items of works. Quality of material, type of
labour, equipments, tools, transport cost affects the rates of an item of the work. The rates of
completed item of the work vary from place to place. However, learner will be able to determine
the quantities and cost with reasonable accuracy and in accordance with the standards as per IS:
1200.
The topic on approximate estimate is useful for calculating approximate cost of the building
/ roads etc. which is further useful for the making budget provisions in the planned works.
The information on detailed estimate based on measurements and the rate of completed item
of work is useful in finding comparatively accurate costs of each item of work and total cost of the
buildings / roads / structures etc. which is useful for preparation of tender documents and thereafter
for the execution of the work.
The rate analysis of an item of work shall help in finding out the rate per unit on the basis of
material cost, labour cost, contractors profit and other probable miscellaneous expenditure required
for the completed item of the work for actual execution of the works as per lead and lift.
Thus the subject shall strongly help to build professionalism among the learner by providing
the knowledge and estimating skills at the project sites along with the use of software’s /
programmes of estimating which makes learner a perfect professional civil engineer.

General Objectives:
Student will be able to:
 Understand units and modes of measurements of various items of work.
 Know the method of preparation of approximate estimates of various civil engineering
works.

Rationale:
Agriculture is the main occupation of majority of Indian Population. But Agricultural
productivity is very low because of uncertainty of rainfall. Scientifically planned and developed
Irrigation systems have been ensuring enhanced productivity of agriculture sector due to assured
water supply to crops. There are inherent huge amount water losses in major projects and major
projects are complex from the view point of operation, management and maintenance. Medium,
minor and micro irrigation schemes have proved to be easier to develop and maintain and are
highly efficient also.
The topics on hydrology, rainfall, runoff, yield and maximum flood discharge will be useful
for reservoir planning. Information on duty, delta, base period, crop pattern and command area will
be used for ascertaining crop water requirement. Various topics on data collection for irrigation
project will be useful for irrigation site investigation.
Topics on earthen, gravity dams and spillway will be useful during construction of medium,
minor irrigation schemes. The contents on Bandhra Irrigation, Percolation Tank and micro
irrigation will be useful, for construction, maintenance of minor irrigation scheme. Topics on
Diversion headwork will be useful for efficient and effective planning of barrages and weirs
Topics on canals with their types, canal, CD works and canal maintenance will be guiding
factor for deciding canal alignment, location of various CD works, various maintenance parameters
for a canal including the prevailing field practices.
Thus the diploma engineer is exposed to understand various factors at the planning,
construction, operation, maintenance and repairs of various irrigation schemes. This will further
enable a learner to come up as resourceful professional in the area of irrigation engineering. This

Rational:
Public Health Engineering is an integral part of life. It essentially comprises of our
ambience, which gives us the zest and verve in all our activities. At present man is facing one of the
most horrible ecological crises, the problem of pollution of his environment which sometimes in
past was pure, virgin, undisturbed, uncontaminated and basically quite hospitable for him. To
maintain better public health one must have safe quality of drinking water supply, effective
methods for disposal of domestic and industrial waste and pollution free environment.
The detailed knowledge about various sources of water supply, quality parameters of public
water purification and conveyance of water will be useful in planning suitable water supply scheme
for town/city. Topics on domestic sewage, conveyance of sewage in sewers analysis and treatment
of sewage will be useful for safe disposal of this waste.
Emerging trends in sanitation and water supply will provide latest know to the students.
Thus the subject will be helpful in bringing up general public health to desired safe level in respect
of water supply and disposal of waste.
General Objectives:
The student will able to

Rationale:
Plain or reinforced cement concrete is extensively used as a construction material in almost
all types of Civil engineering structures like buildings, roads flyovers, dams, bridges and water
tanks etc. With advanced construction techniques and use of locally available ingredients of
concrete, concrete has become very popular construction material.
The contents on cement and aggregate will be useful in deciding contents and quality of
concrete during preparation and placing of concrete in position. Topic on quality control of
concrete will be useful in execution of various items of works where concreting is involved. Thus
the total contents of the subject will be useful for ensuring the quality of concrete during design
preparation, transporting and placing in position for various structures. It will also provide
guidelines for effective supervision and quality control of concreting work. With good knowledge
of concrete materials namely cement, aggregates, water and admixtures and concreting operation
namely selection of materials, mixed design, mixing, placing, compacting and finishing, curing,
one can obtain concrete of desired workability and required strength.
The content of this subject will enable a civil Engineering technician to acquire skills of
carrying out various tests on concrete materials and concrete it self along with interpretation of test
result.
General Objectives:
Student will be able to -
1. Ensure the quality of ingredients of concrete.

Rationale:
Due to globalization and competition in the private and service sectors, the employment is
based either on campus interview competitive test. In such process of selection normally the
competencies like general confidence, leadership, and communication and presentation skill,
problem solving techniques are normally ascertained through various tests.
The topic on group discussion will provide an opportunity for development of confidence in
the students and enhance the communication and presentation skills.
Through information the student will be trained in assessing the information from various
means and presenting the information in the specific format.
Various industrial visits will provide an avenue to a student to observe and understand
various construction processes in the construction industry. Visits will expose a student to newer
and latest technology, material and use of various machines in the construction industry. This will
further impose his theoretical knowledge and may encourage him to become versatile in the
profession as a diploma engineer.
