 CERTIFICATE FROM THE INSTITUTION

This is to certify that, Shimtihun Thabah, Slaiwodstar Nongbri, Janaiboklang

Marngar, Bantei Borlang Majaw, Banpynsuklang Nongrum and Kitboklang
Khongjee have satisfactorily completed the Minor Project for 7 th Semester of
Bachelor of Technology, Civil Engineering Department, as prescribed by
NEHU, under the supervision of our faculty Mr. Partha Pratim Baruah Assistant
Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Regional Institute of Science and
Technology.

This project is oriented for developing skills in mix designing of concrete and
it helped them to gain practical knowledge regarding the design mixing of
concrete.

We wish them great success ahead in life.
