P.G. Diploma in Fire Safety, Lifts and Plumbing Services Entrance Coaching
Preparation for the Faculty of Architecture & Ekistics' weekend PG diploma on fire safety, vertical transport and plumbing in buildings.
About PG Diploma in Fire Safety, Lifts and Plumbing Services
Modern buildings depend on services that must be designed to code: fire detection and fire fighting, safe escape routes, lifts and escalators, and water supply and drainage.
JMI's Faculty of Architecture & Ekistics offers a self-financed P.G. Diploma in Fire Safety, Lifts and Plumbing Services. The 2026–27 prospectus lists 20 seats over two semesters, with classes held from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
The weekend schedule makes it suitable for working architects, civil and mechanical engineers, and building professionals who want a specialised qualification without leaving their jobs.
