Basic Survey

This course is the culmination of the experience gained by me while teaching students at various levels diploma, degree and AME

I have always felt that most of the available course on surveying and levelling take up the subject in a round about and confusing way, In this course, I have tried to explain topics in a direct manner, avoiding unnecessary explanations.

The course covers the syllabi of diploma, degree and AME courses and a few topics are also included to aid practicing engineers.
