RATIONALE :
Diploma holders are also entrepreneurs in this field. In order to take up student must study basic
importance of subjects like SURVEYING. A systematic study of the core subject along with various
principles completed with knowledge of different instruments will be very useful to diploma holder who is
key man on the field.

OBJECTIVES :
Students should be able to-
1. To acquaint the students with the principles and the methods of different types of surveys.
2. To develop the ability to apply knowledge of survey to solution of day to day problems on
construction sites.
3. To develop the skill of handling various surveying instruments and accessories on the field.
4. To promote ability to evaluate performance of survey and recommend measures for repairs.
5. Use of minor instruments.
