Syllabus and Evaluation Criteria: CPM and PERT (CE 306)

This 3-page document provides information about the CPM and PERT course for the 3rd year B.Tech program. The course aims to introduce fundamental concepts of project scheduling using CPM and PERT techniques. It will be taught over 36 hours across topics like work breakdown structure, bar charts, network techniques, critical path method, probability concept, and cost-time analysis. Student performance will be evaluated through course work including assignments and tests worth 20% and an end term examination worth 80%. Contact details for the instructor Dr. Jitendra Singh Yadav are also provided.
