Students who have earned a relevant engineering diploma or an equivalent certification can enroll in a 2-year program called the Diploma in Civil Engineering through Lateral Entry. Students who complete the course can start the second year of the regular diploma program in civil engineering. Important subjects like surveying, construction materials, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and structural analysis are covered. The curriculum blends classroom education with hands-on training, such as field trips and lab work. Graduates have the opportunity to work in engineering organizations in the public and private sectors and are equipped for positions in construction, infrastructure development, project management, and maintenance.
