MSBTE Civil Engineering 3rd Semester Syllabus

Hello everyone, Welcome back to the new post of My India Jobs. My name is Tejas, and in this post I am going to share the Civil Engineering 3rd Semester syllabus.

We can say that Civil Engineering is one of the toughest branch compared to the Computer, Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

But don’t worry friends, you just need to focus on study then ultimately everything is easy for you.

My friends in Diploma in Civil Engineering suggest that practice the numerical as much as possible.

Also while drawing any figure in exam assign proper figure name and parts in that figure and draw neat and clean figure.
