INTRODUCTIONThe Distance Education is a mechanism for doordelivery of quality education, providing opportunitiesof gaining higher qualifications and accessing thelatest developments in the technologies andmethodologies of selected profession. It is a learningsystem that permits study at one’s own pace andplace and is affordable. It is the best option to pursuestudies for those who can’t take up campus studiesfor whatever reason. The Distance Education hasthe following distinct features:

- Cost is much less than the cost of Campus Studies.- Enrol for a programme according to affordability oftime and funds.

- Getting Expert study materials door delivered.- Do self – study at own pace and place.- Network with other professionals at ManagementDevelopment Workshops.

- Individualized instruction. Performance of eachstudent is monitored and guidance given to matchpersonal needs.

- Take examination at pre-set dates. Qualify and earna Post Graduate Programme / Graduate ProgrammeCertificate.

- Get credits for courses already studied whileenrolling for new courses.

RATIONALE

The NICMAR Distance Education Programme catersto the training needs of the working executives andother personnel of the construction industry andinfrastructure development projects.

A large number of engineers are employed on CivilEngineering projects located in the interior and faraway places. They are unable to keep abreast of thelatest developments in technology and managementdue to logistics and communication problems.Likewise, there are many others who cannot affordto leave their jobs to attend full time programme ofstudies due to personal circumstances. Moreover,uneven workflow at the project site and frequenttransfers do not permit construction engineers to plantheir studies at an even pace round the year.

It is, therefore, necessary to develop strategies forhuman resource development that make it possiblefor the working engineers and executives to upgradetheir technical competence and managerialcapabilities as well as to acquire higher professionalqualifications for career improvements.

The Distance Education Programmes bycorrespondence are specially designed to suit theconvenience of engineers and other personnelworking on the construction and infrastructuredevelopment projects. They can select their ownpace and place of studies and improve theircapabilities as well as qualifications.

After registering for a course by paying theprescribed fee the student will receive lesson booksand assignments for each course. The student willwrite assignments and submit to Pune Campus andtake the examinations held at one of the Centres he/she may find convenient. On passing all the courseshe/she is awarded the Certificate.

CHALLENGE OF COMPETITIONWe live and work in an era marked by an ever-changing environment. Converging technologies,increasing symmetry in markets, global competitivepressures, changing life styles and high expectationsare the forces that pose new challenges of changeand competition. Information technology has enteredall the offices and work sites. Knowledge and skillsacquired by managers and engineers becomeredundant rapidly, thus the need for retraining andcontinuous learning. No other sector of the economyfeels the pressure of new challenges as much as theconstruction industry.

A large number of engineers / architects, both degreeand diploma holders are engaged in mammoth taskof nation building by constructing projects of all kindsand sizes. They work with various project authorities,contracting firms, consultancy houses, manufacturingand service enterprises, which includes residential,commercial and industrial structuring, civil and socialinfrastructure, energy, irrigation, transportation,communications etc. Many other are engaged inwork related to management of designs, costestimating and tendering, quality, safety and ecology.Most of the projects are located in the interior andfar away places. They are unable to access the latestdevelopments in the technology and management dueto logistic and communication problems and yet thefate of projects depends on their capabilities.

Construction engineers and managers should be everproficient in the latest techniques of managing theirjobs efficiently, effectively and harmoniously.Learning, unlearning and re-learning – all in shortsspan of time, is fact of managers / engineers in thetechnology driven construction business. This is theway to move up the corporate ladder.

UNBLOCKING CAREER PROMOTIONIt is well known that project engineers and mangersbegin their careers with a limited knowledge ofmanagement skills. They learn personnel and technicalmanagement, financial control of constructionoperations and other management techniques on thejob only. This learning takes very long time and isseldom certificated. Promotion channels get blockedand only horizontal job mobility takes place. Verticalmobility can be achieved by studying for qualificationcourses that are tailor made for higher-level jobs inthe construction industry.

Then, there are thousands of Diploma holder engineersworking in the construction industry whose careersare blocked and promotions withheld because theydon’t possess acceptable formal qualifications forhigher-level jobs. They are neither able to acquirehigher qualifications nor can access information onnew developments in technology and methodologiesin construction. Many can’t afford to leave jobs foron-campus studies; others can’t be spared by theiremployers. Nevertheless, the careers of this largereservoir of technical manpower can be unblockedand skills upgraded through distance education.

NICMAR School Of Distance Education (SODE)NICMAR commenced teaching qualification courses onJuly 9, 1984. In 1985-86, it organised roving workshops

on Construction Project Management at BAI Centresat Baroda, Bangalore, Bombay, Trichi, Delhi andCalcutta where the participants were mostly fromcontracting sector. In the same year, similar workshopswere held for client’s engineers: CPWD, HUDCO, DDAand MHADA. In all these workshops, there was apersistent demand on NICMAR to extend its servicesto persons who desired career improvement but wereunable to do as they were working in the interior / faroff places or project sites or unable to take time offrequired to attend courses in educational institutions.Suggestions also kept coming forth that NICMAR shouldactivate a continuing forum for senior executives todiscuss specific problems common to all in the industry.

Pressed by the persistent demand from constructionprofessionals, BAI, OCCI & others, and impressed bythe operations and delivery methods of the British OpenUniversity, NICMAR has decided to include DistanceEducation in the project proposal that was being draftedfor UNDP Technical Assistance. A year later, the UNDPgranted its approval to finance the project andestablishing a Distance Education programme becamea UNDP programme. Thus, NICMAR, Centre ofDistance Education (CODE) was set up in July 1988 atMumbai and relocated to Pune in 1992.

CODE was re-christened as NICMAR School of DistanceEducation (NICMAR SODE) in 2004. Over the yearsSODE blossomed into multi modules and multi durationbasket of courses which are revised and upgradedregularly for their quality, relevance and value addition.

The distance education courses offered by NICMAR,are qualification Programmes in various branches ofConstruction Management in the infrastructuredevelopment sector, and the construction industry.SODE conducts Regional Contact Classes at everyquarter of the year. It has Centres at Delhi, Hyderabad,Dubai and Bahrain. The main Campus is located at Pune.

QUANTITY SURVEYING (GDQS)

Quantity Surveying as a professional function inconstruction and civil works projects has been slowto receive recognition in India. However, larger sizeof projects, tight work schedules and morecompetitive rates has brought quantity surveying tothe forefront. This is a function that combines withinitself the elements of Civil Engineering, Economics,Finance, Material Sciences, Statistics, Valuation,Management etc. Now, the performance of almostthe entire function has been computerised.Accordingly the GDQS has been designed as an inter-disciplinary Programme that builds upon all theaforesaid disciplines.

OBJECTIVEBeing a job oriented Programme, it equips graduatesto become site engineers and quantity surveyors withgovernment departments, MES, constructioncompanies and consultants.

Graduates of this Programme will have competencyin:- Estimation of quantities, preparation of BOO

and submission of tenders.- Building economics from conceptual stage till

completion.- Post-contract functions, monthly valuations and

project variance reports.- Identification of claims and extra items of work

at sites.
