13. PRELIMS

14.  This round consists of set of questions
related to Civil Engineering, GK , DI and
GA which need to be answered in one
word or sentence.
 All the participating teams proceed to the
next round and the marks obtained will be
taken into consideration.
INSIGHT

15. TREASURE HUNT

16.  In this round mainly we are focusing on
utilizing all the entities of our department.
 Hints or clues will be provided to the
participants to guide them to a particular
entity and there they need to choose a
subject, where subsequent clues will be
provided.
 Depending upon time consumed and
questions correctly answered, they will be
awarded the marks.
INSIGHT

17. The entity in this case will be the labs the Civil
Department is equipped with.

18. STRIDE MEASURE PLAN

19.  Participant will be shown a specific existing
structure or path.
 The job of participant is to walk around the
structure, take some approximate
measurements of the structure and draft it in
Auto CAD software.
 None of the measuring instruments will be
allowed during the competition.
 Judgment is done by comparing drafted plan
with original plan and the one which nears the
accuracy will be awarded.
