Introduction:
This will be a competition to test the fervor & passion about civil
engineering in the candidates. Be it structures, hydraulics, environment or geotechnical
the quiz will test the understanding of the basic principles of civil
engineering & their application to practical life engineering problems. So
be prepared with all your nerves…………..
Rules
& Regulations:
Ø There will be five teams competing the contest.
Ø The teams will be selected on the basis of their
performance in the pre-quiz written test.
Ø The pre-quiz written test will comprise of 50 questions
based on civil engineering problems.
Ø In case of tie between two teams in pre-quiz contest
selection will be made on the basis of points scored in structures followed by
geotechnical followed by hydraulics, water resource engineering followed by
transportation & environmental engineering.
Ø In the final contest there will be three rounds:
ü General Knowledge Round
ü Civil Problem Round
ü Quick Fire
ü Visual Round
Ø The general knowledge round would test the knowledge of
the contestants about current engineering projects,
Ø Latest technologies used therein & so on. Five
questions will be asked to each team
Ø For every correct answer a score of 10 points will be
awarded & for every wrong answer. A score of 5 will be deducted. Questions
will not pass in this round, but will pass onto audience.
Ø Civil problem round would test the knowledge of
contestants related to various field of civil engineering. A total of 15
questions will be asked from each of the contesting teams. For each correct
answer a score of 20 will be awarded & for each wrong answer a score of 10
will be deducted. Questions will pass amongst the teams & finally onto
audience.
Ø Quick fire round would test the proficiency & ability
to apply the engineering concepts quickly to common civil engineering problems.
To each team three questions will be asked with four answer options. The team
will have to choose the most economical & most suitable solution to the
given engineering problem. A score of 10 will be awarded for each correct round
& a score of 10 will be deducted for each wrong answer. Questions will pass
amongst teams & finally onto audience.
Ø Visual round will test the civil engineering awareness
among contestants. A series of visuals will be displayed which the contestants
would be required to identify in the given time interval. A score of 10 will be
awarded for each correct answer & a score of 5 will be deducted for each
wrong answer. Questions will pass amongst teams & finally onto audience.
