5th Semester Is Here — First Understand What Has Changed This Time
The 5th semester is where Civil Engineering stops being general and starts being civil. The first two years gave you materials, surveying, mechanics, concrete and building construction. Now come the subjects that define a civil engineer: Transportation Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Estimating and Costing, and Steel Structures — plus your choice of electives, the Indian Constitution, and a 6-week summer internship assessed in this semester.
One thing to know before you start: the 2026-27 syllabus is the updated NEP-2020 curriculum, approved by the Board of Technical Education, UP in its meeting on 16 July 2026. If you are studying from the old syllabus, stop — subject names, codes and structure have all changed.
5th Semester At A Glance — The Full Picture
A total of 850 marks and 20 credits. The heaviest subjects are Transportation Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering — 200 marks each, theory plus lab. Estimating Costing and Valuation and Design of Steel Structure and Drawing are 100 marks each. You choose one Program Elective-1 (Green Building or Repair and Maintenance of Building, 100 marks) and one Open Elective-01 (Disaster Management or Project Management, 50 marks internal only, not counted in the total). Indian Constitution is a qualifying audit course — 50 marks internal, not counted. Summer Internship-II and SCA add 150 marks.

10. Summer Internship-II & Student Centred Activities (Internship + SCA)
The 5th semester is where classroom learning meets the construction site. Summer Internship-II is 6 weeks of guided professional training in a construction office, government department, construction agency or design consultancy, done during the break after the 4th semester and assessed in the 5th semester for 100 marks (60 internal + 40 external). You keep a daily diary, submit a report, and present a seminar with a viva.
Internship And SCA — These 150 Marks Are Not Free
The 5th semester is where classroom learning meets the construction site. Summer Internship-II is 6 weeks of guided professional training in a construction office, government department, construction agency or design consultancy, done during the break after the 4th semester and assessed in the 5th semester for 100 marks (60 internal + 40 external). You keep a daily diary, submit a report, and present a seminar with a viva.
Alongside it, Student Centred Activities (SCA) carry 50 marks for overall personality development — behaviour and discipline (15), attendance (10) and sports, NCC, NSS, cultural and co-curricular activities (25). Together the internship and SCA are worth 150 marks and 2 credits in the 5th semester.
How To Prepare For The 5th Semester — A Practical Approach
Start with the two 200-mark subjects — Transportation and Geotechnical — because their labs (12 and 15 experiments) take the most time. Estimating is the subject that pays off fastest in a job, so practise taking out quantities from real drawings every week. For the electives, choose by interest and by what your polytechnic actually offers — not every college offers both options. And do not leave the internship diary for the last week: the daily diary becomes your report, and the report plus viva carry 65% of the internship marks.

Summer Internship-II & Student Centred Activities
Summer Internship-II — What It Is
Guided and supervised professional training of a minimum of 6 weeks duration, organised during the semester break after the IVth semester examinations (the 5th-semester scheme row says 4–6 weeks). It gives students an opportunity to experience the environment and culture of corporate construction offices / government construction and design departments / construction agencies / builders' organisations / design consultation units and commercial activities undertaken in field organisations, and to integrate theory with practice. The concerned HOD, along with other teachers, guides students in arranging appropriate training places relevant to their branch. A training schedule is drawn up for each student before starting, in consultation with the training provider, and students are briefed in advance about the organisational setup, working environment, designing and drafting process, and important machines and drafting tools used in the training organisation. A minimum of one visit by the teacher is recommended. Students keep a daily report in a diary during training, which later becomes the final report and its presentation. * Students will submit the certificate. ** Students will present a seminar/viva on their summer internship / Advance Skill Certification along with certificate, project and report.
How Internship-II Is Marked (100 Marks)
Internal assessment 60 marks, external assessment 40 marks (3 hrs). The evaluation components given in the PDF are: punctuality and regularity — 15%; initiative in learning new things / field exposure — 20%; presentation and viva — 40%; industrial training report — 25%. Evaluation of the professional training report through viva-voce/presentation aims at assessing the student's understanding of drafting various working drawings, designing process, practices in offices/field organisations and their ability to engage in activities related to problem solving in a professional setup, as well as understanding of application of knowledge and skills learnt in real life situations. Evaluation is recommended to be carried out by a team comprising the concerned HOD, teachers and a representative from the organisation.
Student Centred Activities (SCA) — 50 Marks
A provision for overall personality development, including co-curricular activities such as extension lectures, games, hobby clubs (for example photography, painting and singing), seminars, declamation contests, educational field visits, NCC, NSS, library work, cultural activities and self-study. Maximum marks for SCA: 50, distributed as: (i) 15 marks for general behaviour and discipline (by HODs in consultation with all the teachers of the department); (ii) 10 marks for attendance — 75–80% = 6 marks, 80–85% = 8 marks, above 85% = 10 marks; (iii) 25 marks maximum for sports / NCC / cultural / co-curricular / NSS activities — 25 for state/national level participation, 20 for participation in two of the above activities, 15 for inter-polytechnic level participation. Note: there should be no marks for attendance in the internal sessional of different subjects.
