Abstract: The present study was conducted to analyze the engineering students' ability to apply project management techniques in the projects planned using the concepts given by Project Management Institute (PMBOK). Selected student projects related to civil and multi-disciplinary nature are verified from project charter preparation. The techniques used are related to scheduling, Milestones, work breakdown structure, cost estimation methods and different management plans. Feedback is taken from the student batches regarding the applicability of techniques, time taken for project plans, charter document, difficulty levels and other aspects of suitability of techniques. Out of 100 projects analysed, 66% of student groups felt easy to apply PMI project management techniques. Bottom up technique is applied by 76%teams for cost estimation and second best technique is top down with 16% applicability. 69% teams used PERT technique for scheduling with second best as CPM for 19% projects
Keywords: Project Management, Network Analysis, Suitability of technique, Project planning techniques.
