ACADEMIC SYSTEM

• The University will follow semester system in all of its PG/ Integrated programmes.

Summer Semester

• The Vice Chancellor may decide to hold a Summer semester on the

recommendation of the Academic Advisory Committee.

• Summer semester is a special privilege to be offered at the discretion of the University,

and the University will not be under any obligation to offer summer semester every

year.

• Summer semester, if offered, may be allowed only for students who are not ondisciplinary probation.

• A list of courses to be offered in the summer semester is brought out during the evensemester before the ESE. Only a few selected courses as decided by the University maybe offered during the summer semester.

• A course may be offered in the Summer semester if there are a minimum of ten studentsregistering for it.

• Unless prescribed otherwise in the Regulations of any specific programme, theSummer semester is a fast-paced semester where all the rules for the normalsemester shall apply but the registration shall be limited to three courses having totalcredits not exceeding 12.

• The Summer semester may be of about seven to eight weeks duration and each coursemay run on about two times the normal load, thus imparting equivalent to about 16weeks of teaching, but at an accelerated pace.

• Whenever possible, the deficient students may be allowed to register for backlogcourses and/ or marginal courses (in which they have obtained D grade) in the Summersemesters on payment of necessary fees per course.

• A student can normally register only for backlog or marginal courses for the Summersemester.

• In view of the short duration of the Summer semester, late registration and adding anddropping of courses are not permitted beyond three days of the start of classes

Academic Counsellor

• Upon joining the University, each student will be assigned an Academic Counsellor.

• The Academic Counsellor will discuss with the student his academic performance in

previous semester(s) and suggest the number and nature of courses the student should

register during the ensuing semester, within the framework of that Programme

curriculum.

• The Academic Counsellor may advice students having many backlog courses to register

for lesser number of credits (subject to the minimum credits specifications) and prepare a

revised plan of study for the student with a slower pace.

Curriculum

Each programme contains a prescribed course structure which is generally calledCurriculum.

These courses will be offered to a student in a pre determined manner in eachsemester.

Students are expected to take course in each semester & clear them to variousconditions prescribed in this regulation.

Syllabus

• A course syllabus is a document that explains what a student is going to study in that

course.

• Each course will have a course code, course title, Lecture- Tutorial- Practical- Credit

(LTPC) distribution indicating the weightage of the course, version of syllabus revision,

course pre-requisites/ anti-requisites/ co-requisites (if any), course objectives, expected

outcome, short and detailed description of the topics, suggested text and reference books,

the mode of evaluation adopted, the effective date of application of the revised version of

the syllabus.

Page 10: Download Detailed Syllabus

Course Plan

• A course plan consists of a list of lectures/ experiments carried out in each instructional

class/ lab by the course teacher during the semester as per the LTPC of the course, with

details like mode of delivery, reference material used, etc.

• One hour of lecture/ tutorial classes or two hours of laboratory work/ seminar/ practical/

group discussion per week constitutes ONE credit for the course. Separate course plans

need to be prepared for the theory and laboratory portions of any course, if the course has

an embedded lab component.

Example:

An LTPC of 2-1-2-4 means 2 hour of class room lecture; one hour of tutorial and

one hour of laboratory, all delivered within a calendar week. This course will have 4

credits.

Credits

Maximum Credit: 92

Maximum Credits: 135

Project/ Thesis/ Dissertation:

• Wherever required in the PG/ Integrated programme, all students of that programmes

should successfully complete Project/ Thesis/ Dissertation work.

• A student has to select a thesis supervisor at the beginning of the last year of the

programme, if not done earlier.

• A student shall not normally have more than two supervisors at any given time.

• Thesis supervisor(s) of a student will normally be appointed from amongst the faculty

members of the University using modalities decided by the departments.

• A student can have a co-supervisor from outside the University on the recommendation

of the Supervisor and with approval of the Director of the Institute.

Page 11: Download Detailed Syllabus

• In case there has been a change/addition in the supervisor(s), the thesis will not be

submitted earlier than three months from the date of such change.

• Normally, a faculty member shall not supervise more than five individual PG candidates.

However the department may evolve a transparent policy for the distribution of PG

students amongst the faculty members in the department.

• In case a faculty member is suspended / debarred for indulging in lowering the prestige of

the University in any manner, he shall cease to be a thesis supervisor.

• If a supervisor resigns/ expires/ leaves the University, alternative/ caretaker supervisor be

appointed by the Departmental Postgraduate Committee (DPGC.)

• Submitting a thesis that was bought (purchased)/ borrowed/ thesis submitted in another

University/ Institution shall be considered as examination malpractice and will be

awarded an ‘F’ grade.

• Students have the responsibility to decide on the specific thesis area and title, and carry

out substantial portion of the literature survey at the beginning of their final year.

• Various time limits specified for monitoring and evaluation of performance of the

student, to be announced by the University in each semester, should be strictly followed.

Industrial/Practical Training

Wherever required in the programme, all the students of that programme should

undergo industrial/ practical training ina reputed industry in, anytime after one year of

study. This is listed in course structure.

Students who have completed their training are required to register for industrial/

practical training in the following semester for award of the grades.

Page 12: Download Detailed Syllabus

Minimum/ Maximum Credit Limits for Course Registration

• The Average Academic Load in a regular semester will be of 23 credits.

• However, a fast pace student can register for a maximum of 28 credits.

• Similarly a slow pace student can register for a minimum of 16 credits in a regular

semester (other than during Summer semester).

• Under no circumstances, a student will be permitted to cross these limits.

• A student carrying out the last registration of his Programme will be permitted to register

less than 16 credits if the minimum credit requirements for the completion of Programme

so require.

• The average number of credits a student can register during a Summer semester shall be

between 6 and 8, or 2 courses.

• However, in special cases, the student may be permitted to register a maximum of 12

credits during a Summer semester.

• There is no minimum number of credits fixed for course registration during Summer

semester.

Course Prerequisites / Anti-requisites/ C-requisites

Some courses may have specific prerequisites to be met before a student can register for the

course in the current semester.

• Students who had received an ‘F’ grade in a prerequisite course are also permitted to

register the next level course by assuming that they had attained the required ‘exposure’

by attending that course.

• This stand is adopted so that the student can make further progress towards earning

credits and his progress need not be pulled down by backlog courses. Thus, concurrent

registration of a prerequisite and next level course becomes a possibility.

• Similarly, a course may have an anti-requisite and/ or co-requisite.

Page 13: Download Detailed Syllabus

• When two courses having almost similar/ same course contents and considered as

equivalent are made available to a student to choose within a group, and to prevent

students crediting both the courses, the anti-requisite option can be used.

• Similarly, an independent laboratory course can be coupled with a theory alone course

through a co-requisite thereby forcing a student to register both the courses together.

PG Teaching Experience

To provide an opportunity to Final year students having current CGPA 8.50 or more,

value-addition schemes are available in the University.

Such students may be awarded tutoring assignments in the lower year courses.

Such contributions will be duly recognized by providing financial support and making a

mention in the Grade sheets.

Vice Chancellor’s List

• Students who maintain a CGPA of 9.50 and above, starting from the beginning of 3rd

semester results and subsequently, having no ‘F’ grade to their credit, having never

debarred for lack of attendance in any ESE or indiscipline, will be placed on Vice

Chancellor’s List for their meritorious performance.

• Their name will be removed from the Vice Chancellor’s List if their CGPA falls

below 9.50 or they receive an ‘F’ grade or are debarred due to lack of attendance in

any ESE or an act of indiscipline subsequently.

• Such students will be accorded benefits/ recognition as per rules.

Conversion Factor for Converting CGPA into Marks Equivalent

If a conversion to marks is required, the following formula may be used to calculate the

same:

The Equivalent Percentage of Marks = CGPA* 9.0 + 5

Page 14: Download Detailed Syllabus

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

• A student must have 75% or more attendance in aggregate of delivered classes, in all

registered courses of theory (lectures plus tutorial) and practicals (including

workshops training, seminar, projects, industrial training etc.) of the concerned

semester.

• Only such students who fulfill the above 75% attendance criteria will be permitted to

appear in End Semester Examination (ESE).

• The cases of students having attendance less than 75% but more than or equal to 60%

shall be reviewed by the University on a case to case basis as per the Ordinance.

• If a student’s attendance falls below 60%, for any reason including medical, he will not be

allowed to appear in the ESE of any course registered in the semester. He will be awarded

‘F’ grades in all the courses of that semester.

• Calculation of attendance for determining the eligibility to appear in ESE will be based

on the date of actual registration of the candidate, if late registration is permitted by the

University.

COMPONENTS OF EVALUATION

• In general, a course will have three components of evaluation viz. Continuous

A ssessment (CA), Mid-Semester Exams (MSE), and End- semester Exam (ESE),

• CA will carry 40 Marks [Tutorials 10 Marks, Quizzes10 Marks, Assignments10 Marks,

and Projects/ Case studies/ Viva voce 10 Marks]

• MSE will carry 20 marks.

• First MSE to be held after completion of 35% - 40% course coverage.

• Second MSE to be held after completion of 70% - 80% course coverage.

• ESE will carry 40 marks.

Page 15: Download Detailed Syllabus

SYSTEM OF EVALUATION BASED ON BROAD BAND GRADES

• The University shall follow the Broad-band Grades systems for various PG

programmes as specified in the respective Programme detail.

• The course credit (C), number of lectures, tutorials, practicals (L), (T), (P) in a course are

related as C = (L + T + 0.5 P)

• The students will be awarded grades using relative grading in a course and result

cards will show individual course grades, the course credits and the overall

weighted performance indices such as SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average).

• The following broadband letter grades will be used to report a student’s performance on

a 10-point scale.

• The letter grades and their numerical equivalents on a 10-point scale (called Grade

Points) are as follows:

Letter

Grade

A AB B BC C D F

Grade

Points

10 9 8 7 6 4 0

• In addition to the above, there are three letter grades viz., I, S, and X which stands for

Incomplete, Satisfactory, and Unsatisfactory, respectively.

• For courses with zero weightage (audit) only satisfactory (S)/ Unsatisfactory (X) grades

are awarded.

• No student shall be awarded ‘A’ grade in any course unless he has secured a minimum

of 80% marks in the total of all components of evaluation in that course.

Page 16: Download Detailed Syllabus

• No students shall be awarded ‘F’ grade in any course if he has secured a

minimum of 40% marks in the total of all components of evaluation in that course.

• In case a student repeats a particular course during summer semester along with his

juniors, he will be awarded only up to a maximum of AB grade based on his current

performance and the grade he obtained earlier.

• The statistical method shall invariably be used with marginal adjustment for the

natural cut off if the number of students appearing in a course is 60 or more. The

mean and standard deviation (σ) of marks obtained of all the students in a course

shall be calculated and the grades shall be awarded to a student depending upon the

marks and the mean and the standard deviation as per Table given below:

Lower Range of Marks Grade Upper Range of Marks

A ≥ Mean + 2.5 σ

Mean + 1.5 σ ≤ AB < Mean + 2.5 σ

Mean + 0.5 σ ≤ B < Mean + 1.5 σ

Mean - 0.5 σ ≤ BC < Mean + 0.5 σ

Mean - 1.5 σ ≤ C < Mean - 0.5 σ

Mean - 2.5 σ ≤ D < Mean - 1.5 σ

F < Mean - 2.5 σ

Page 17: Download Detailed Syllabus

• If the number of students appearing in any course is less than 60, the grades in that

course will be awarded in the following manner :

Marks Obtained in a course out of 100 (M) Letter Grade

85 <= M <= 100 A

75 <= M <= 84 AB

65 <= M <= 74 B

55 <= M <= 64 BC

50 <= M <= 54 C

40 <= M <= 49 D

M <= 39 F

Incomplete I

• A student may be awarded the grade ‘I’ (Incomplete) in a course if he has missed the

ESE for a genuine reason.

• This grade must, however, be converted by the Faculty-In-Charge into an appropriate

letter grade within ten days from the completion of ESE.

• Any ‘I’ grade still outstanding two days after the prescribed last date, shall be

automatically be converted into ‘F’ grade.

• The course(s) in which a student has earned ‘F’ grade will be termed as back-log

course(s), which he has to improve by repeating/ replacing the course(s) as per the

rules.

• ‘F’ grade is also awarded to a student who is not allowed to/ do not appear in ESE in a

particular subject due to shortage of attendance, though he might have undergone

other components such as MSE, assignments, class tests, projects, etc.

Page 18: Download Detailed Syllabus

• Such a student will be required to repeat the course in the Summer semester in which he

has secured ‘F’ grade.

• The Semester Grade Point Average is a weighted average of the grade points earned by

a student in all the courses credited and describes his academic performance in a

Semester. If the grade point associated with the letter grades awarded to a student are

say, g1, g2, g3,………. and the corresponding weightage is (credits) are say, w1, w2,

w3,………. the SGPA is given by:

• The Cumulative Grade Point Average indicates overall academic performance

of a student in all the courses registered up to and including the latest

completed Semester. It is computed in the same manner as SGPA, considering

all the courses (say, n), and is given by:

CGPA=∑ {credit of semester*SGPA of semester}/total credits

• The minimum CGPA requirement for the award of an Post Graduate degree/ diploma/

certificate will be 5.5 subject to getting ‘D’ or above grade in each of the courses

individually.

• A minimum of 4.5 SGPA in a UG programme is required in each semester for moving

to the higher semester.

• A student will not be allowed to move to higher Semester without clearing the

backlog courses so as to obtaining the required minimum SGPA and/ or CGPA.

• A student will be required to get grade ‘D’ or above in a course for passing in the

course.

• A student will be issued a Cumulative Grade Card at the end of each semester

indicating the grades secured for all the registered courses up to and including the

last semester.

EXAMINATION

• The period of Examination(s) (Mid semester and End semester) shall be as specified in

the Academic Calendar.

• All students who have registered for a particular course are eligible to write the ESE of

that course, except if he is declared ineligible due to one or more of reasons listed

below.

1. Shortage of attendance

2. Acts of indiscipline

3. Withdrawal of a course from Registration

• Make-up examinations are special examinations conducted for students who could not

take regularly scheduled examination and have been awarded the ‘I’ grade or

‘Incomplete’ result.

• Make–up examination is a special privilege to be offered at the discretion of the

University and the University will not be under any obligation to allow a student a
