Questions
Which syllabus does this Geotechnical Engineering Lab course follow?
It follows the BTEUP diploma syllabus (Civil Engineering - Semester 4). If your polytechnic or university syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus and unit order.
Will this help in the semester exam?
Yes. Each unit is taught with board-pattern questions, numericals where needed, and revision tests before the end-semester exam.
How is the practical work assessed?
The trainer watches each experiment / milestone and marks it on a rubric, followed by viva questions, as in the board practical exam.
