PREFACE

Sri Siddhartha Institute of Technology, Tumkur (SSIT), is one of the

better performing self financing Institute, offering technical education in the
state of Karnataka. The Institute was started with the objective of Entrancing
Education to reach the unreached. Recognizing our potential to grow into a
Centre of Excellence, World Bank has chosen our Institute under Technical
Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP). Financial assistance
has been granted to the Institute for the advancement in academics,
development of laboratories and other infrastructures required for carrying out
research activities. In this direction the Institute has put-up solid foundation for
education and research with highly qualified faculty with a vision to groom the
leaders of tomorrow.
The Institute offers 09 undergraduate, 07 post graduate and MCA
programmes. The Institute has an annual intake of 670 students for
undergraduate programme, 126 students for Post graduate and 60 students
for MCA.
Considering our academic strength and infrastructure, Govt.Of
Karnataka, through Visvesvaraya Technological University(VTU), has
accorded us AUTONOMY.
Recognized as a better performing Autonomous institute, UGC
conferred us the Deemed-to-be University Status in 2009. We are now a
constituent college of Sri Siddhartha Academy of Higher Education (SSAHE),
Tumkur.
Deemed University system provides flexibility to institutes to have their
own curriculum and syllabus. Taking this opportunity the Institute has designed
curriculum and syllabus in consultation with Industries and premier academic
institutions to ensure that the young Engineers graduating from the Institute are
industry ready.
The academic year is divided into two main semester ( odd semester :
September to December, Even semester : February to May ) and a summer
semester. The students are required to follow certain procedures and meet the
academic requirements of each semester as stipulated from time to time by the
Academic council.
Committees are formed at various levels for monitoring students
performance . The Academic Performance Evaluation Committee (APEC) and
Departmental Performance Evaluation Committee (DPEC), examines the
pace and the Learning capabilities of the students based on their overall
performance & academic record and counsels them.
SSIT, takes atmost care to ensure that students get the best and
become outstanding engineers.
This booklet gives comprehensive information on the suggested
course work for the Second year.

required based on existing and projected population. Preparation of village
map by any suitable method of surveying (like plane tabling), location of sites
for ground level and overhead tanks underground drainage system surveys
for laying the sewers.
4. HIGHWAY PROJECT:
Preliminary and detailed investigations to align a new road (min. 1 to 1.5
km stretch) between two obligatory points. The investigations shall consist
of topographic surveying of strip of land for considering alternate routes
and for final alignment. Report should justify the selected alignment with
details of all geometric designs for traffic and design speed assumed.
Drawing shall include key plan initial alignment, final alignment,
longitudinal section along final alignment, typical cross sections of road.
5. RESTORATION OF OLD TANK: Field work consist of
i) Alignment of center line of the bund, Longitudinal and cross sections of
the center line.
ii) Capacity surveys.
iii) Details at Waste weir and sluice points.
Note : All relevant drawings to be prepared during the regular drawing
class assignment in the time table of even semester.
Scheme of examination:
