Project Management with CPM and PERT for Engineering Exams

Succeeding in competitive engineering exams like GATE and ESE requires a rock-solid grasp of construction and project management principles. This written course breaks down complex network analysis techniques into clear, step-by-step written explanations and practical calculation exercises. You will develop a deep theoretical and mathematical understanding of project scheduling. By working through structured explanations and exam-style practice problems, you will learn to construct network diagrams, calculate floats, optimize project duration, and manage uncertainty with precision. What you'll learn: 1. Understand foundational project management terminology, phases, and organizational structures. 2. Construct network diagrams using Activity-on-Arrow (AOA) and Activity-on-Node (AON) conventions. 3. Calculate critical path, float times, and slack using Critical Path Method (CPM) formulas. 4. Apply Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) to manage project uncertainty and probability. 5. Analyze project crashing, time-cost trade-offs, and resource leveling scenarios. 6. Solve exam-style scheduling and optimization problems systematically. The course begins with essential project management definitions and fundamental network rules before advancing to detailed mathematical computations and resource allocation strategies. This logical progression ensures you build the confidence needed to tackle any exam question. This course is designed for engineering students, civil and mechanical engineering graduates, and aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like GATE, ESE, or State PSCs. No prior advanced project management experience is required. Start reading today to master CPM and PERT calculations for your upcoming engineering exams.
