Course Overview

Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory certification is a one-month online course in the category of civil engineering. This online certification course is available on Swayam but is the design of two institutions namely NPTEL and IIT Bombay. The end certificate also possesses the logos of the aforesaid institutions for proving its authenticity factor. With this course, participants will be able to focus on learning the different tests used for testing soils.

Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory training is for performing experiments of testing soils that are presented with a small introduction that covers all the important details, and aspects of the conducted experiments. It also showcases the purpose, and theory along with the explanation of what apparatus, specimen calculations, or procedure is required to perform a certain experiment. This course easily allows the applicants to conduct experiments and then compare the results of these. All in all, the course certificate gets accepted in multinational companies like Larsen & Turbo, Simplex Infrastructure, and more.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Only students who have pursued Civil Engineering or Earth Science, and Geology are eligible. Also, these candidates must have information on the concepts of Geotechnical Engineering or Basic Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering.

Certification Qualifying Details

Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory certification by NPTEL and IIT Bombay can be entitled to eligible participants who have cleared off both the assignments and the final offline test. The marks that must be received by the participants is 30/75 in the final test, and also 10/25 in the 4 assignments combine so that the total score comes to 40/75. Not matching up to any score, will not grant completion certificates.
