About this course

You will be able to

  • Range and chain lines and take compass bearings with local attraction correction
  • Set up a level and carry out fly levelling, profile levelling and contouring
  • Measure horizontal and vertical angles with a theodolite by repetition and reiteration
  • Find tacheometric constants and distances
  • Run a closed traverse with a total station and compute area and closing error
  • Record field data neatly and present results with plots

Who it is for

  • B.Tech Civil Engineering students of Semester 3 (AKTU)
  • Students of other universities studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching
  • Students who want to revise experiments and viva questions before the practical exam

What you need

  • Surveying and Geomatics theory of the same semester
  • Field book, calculator and safety shoes for field work

Questions

Which syllabus does the Surveying and Geomatics Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Surveying and Geomatics Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the practical exam and viva?

Yes. Each experiment is explained with its aim, procedure, calculations and result, followed by viva questions and a mock practical.

Are instruments provided?

Yes. Level, theodolite and total station demonstrations are done at the centre; students also follow their college lab manual.
