2. Structure of Undergraduate programs
The four year B. Tech. programmes will be conducted over eight semesters and comprise of courses
divided in six distinct areas, namely: Departmental Core (DCC), Departmental Elective (DEC), Allied
Engineering (AEC), Applied Sciences and Mathematics (ASC), Humanities, Social Sciences and Management
(HMC)and University Electives (UEC). All the courses offered in First year B. Tech programsare categorized as
‘Common Courses’ for all the academic programs.
Credits assigned to various components of the B. Tech curriculum are given in Table-2. Credit and
curricular components for common courses and University Elective courses are given in the Table-3 and
Table-4 respectively.
Common Courses
The courses offered to the First Year B. Tech. programs are grouped under this category. All the
students need to complete these common courses in First year. These courses have been divided into two
groupsnamely Group A and GroupB. These courses are planned to give the students a firm base in the areas
of Applied Science, Mathematics, Humanities and Allied Engineering disciplines. These courses are presented
in Table-3.
University Elective Courses
The University Electives are the courses offered by different academic Departments to the students
of other disciplines. These courses are offered in either V or VI semester. A student must opt for a University
elective course which is offered by any academic department other than his own. The University elective
courses will be notified later.
Departmental Core Courses (DCC)
The departmental core courses consists of (15-16 numbers) courses considered essential for a
chosen engineering / science discipline including, engineering design, seminar, industrial training and
projects.
Departmental Elective Courses (DEC)
The students are required to complete a number of Departmental Elective courses (7-8 numbers)
offered by his / her parent Department. Every Department offers a wide variety of elective courses under
this category.
Humanities, Social Sciences and Management Courses (HSC)
The Humanities, Social Sciences and Management Courses consists of a 5 courses considered
essential for a B. Tech. program to inculcate the essence of technical report writing, communication skills,
engineering economics, management and professional ethics & human values.
Applied Sciences and Mathematics Courses (ASC)
The Applied Sciences and Mathematics Courses consists of a 5 courses considered essential for a B.
Tech. program to build the background for learning of engineering core courses.
Allied Engineering Courses (AEC)
The students are required to complete at least 7-8 number of Allied engineering courses (majority of
them taughtas commoncourses)offered by engineering departments. Thesecourses introduce to student a
3. wide spectrum of knowledge in allied engineering domain connected to the main engineering stream of the
course of study of the students of concerned departments.
Course Registration
At the end of every semester each department shall declare the courses to be offered in the
following semester. The students are required to register for the courses that they intend to study. But for
first year students, as there is common course for all the students, the courses will be automatically
registered by the University.

Credit System
The University follows a modern methods of continuous evaluation, which is prevalent in most of
the professional institutions nationally and internationally, through a credit system in all its / programs. The
system offers flexibility to progress at a pace commensurate with the capabilities of a student to minimum
credit requirements. The award system follows letter grades on a 10-point scale, where the performance is
measured in terms of weighted grade point averages (SGPA and CGPA). A student has to satisfy minimum
CGPA and earned credit requirements to be eligible for the award of degree (Table-2).
Lectures / Tutorial:One lecture hour per week shall normally be assigned one credit. One hour of tutorial per
week shall be assigned one credit. However, the credits may be adjusted further by taking into consideration
the quantum of work required to be put in by a student for learning the course having two / three hours of
contact every alternate week shall have one credit only.
Prac tic als:One laboratory hour per week shall normally be assigned half a credit. Not more than three credits
may be assigned to a practical course having only laboratory component. The courses having two / three
hours of contact every alternate week shall have one credit only.
A student shall be evaluated for his / her academic performance in a course through tutorials,
practicals, homework assignments, term papers, field work / industrial training, seminars, quizzes as class
work Sessional (CWS) and Practical Sessional (PRS), End Term Examination (ETE) and Practical Examination
(PRE) as applicable according to the guidelines formulated by the Academic Council.
15. G rading Syste m
The academic performance of a student shall be graded on a 10-point scale as per the guidelines given
in Annexure-B. The letter grades and their equivalent grade points are listed in Table-5.The letter Grades
awarded to a student in all the courses shall be converted into a semester and cumulative performance index
called the semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), to be
calculated by the procedures given in Annexure-B of these Regulations.
At the end of the program, a student with CGPA between 5 and 6.75 shall be awarded ‘Second Class’, and
a student with CGPA between 6.75 and 8.5 shall be awarded ‘First Class’and a student with CGPA of 8.5 and
above shall be awarded ‘First Class with Distinction’. Moreover, any student with CGPA of 9.5 and above at the
end of the course shall be deemed to have passed with special exemplary performance.

Explanation:
‘F’ Grade
The ‘F’ grades denote poor performance, i.e. failing course. ‘F’ grade is also awarded in case of poor
attendance (see attendance Rules)
For the other (elective) course in which ‘F’ grade has been awarded, the student may take the same course
or any other course from the same category. Further, ‘F’ grade secured in any course stays permanently on
the grade card. The weight of ‘F’ grade is not countedin the calculation of the CGPA however, it is countedin
the calculation of the SGPA.
In case a student is awarded a failing grade in the major project, he/she shall have to repeat the
course in the form of a new project. Such a student will have to work full time on the project for a minimum
period of four months and maximum ‘B’ grade can be awarded to the student.
‘I’ grade
This refers to an ‘incomplete’ grade which is required to be converted into a regular letter grade as
provided in Annexure-I.

General Guidelines for the Award of Grades
The following are the general guidelines for the award of grades:
(i) All evaluations of different components of a course shall be done in marks for each student.
(ii) The marks of various components shall be reduced to approved weights as indicated in the scheme of
Teaching and Examinationandadded to get total markssecured on a 100-Point scale. The rounding off
shall be done only once and on the higher side.
(iii) The method suggested in Annexure-I shall be used for the award of grades with or without marginal
adjustment for natural cut- offs.
(iv) In case of any difficulty or when the number of students is equal to or less than 30, the method
suggested in Annexure-II can be used.
(v) It is suggested that there will not be more than 10% (rounded off to near integer value) A+ grade.
Unfair Means
In case a student is found adopting or suspected of adopting unfair means before, during or after the
examination, or lifting or copying of work (s) of someone else and inserting it in his class work
submissions, Project, Dissertation etc. without proper acknowledgement, credit and reference, such penal
action shall be taken by the University against the student as may be necessary and adequate to uphold the
sanctity and integrity of the examinationsystem and the credibility of the University.
17. Attendance, Leave, Absence
All the students of UG program are expected to attend every lecture, tutorial, practical or drawing
class scheduled for them. The students of UG must have a minimum attendance of 75% of the total number of
classes including lectures, tutorials and practicals, held in a subject in order to be eligible to appear at the
End Term Examination for that subject. The concerned authority, authorized by the Vice Chancellor for this
purpose may relax the minimum attendanceup to 10% for reasons to be recorded. This relaxation may be
grantedon productionof documents showingthatthe student was either busy in the authorized activities or
suffering from any disease. The student should submit these documents to the course coordinator and
Chairman BoS within seven days of resuming the studies.Under exceptional circumstances, the Vice
Chancellor may further relax the minimumattendance upto5%. Furthermore, if a student has attendance of
60-65% in a particular course, he/she may appear in the End Term Examination with the approval of the Vice
Chancellor with a fine of ₹500/-.
Make up examination on special grounds- Students who have missed any Internal Assessment
Examination for valid reasons maybecome eligible for a make-up examination subject to the permission
given by authority considering the merit of the case. It may be given to the deserving students. The student
should make an application to the authority within ten working days from the date of the examination
missed, explaining the reasons for their absence. Applications received after this period will not be
entertained. Further, there will be no makeup of the makeup examination.
If a student is absent during End Term Examination of a course due to medical reasons or other
special circumstance, make-up-examination will be allowed only if a student has not been disqualified earlier,
due to shortage of attendance.
Rustication/Suspension/Debarment froma Semester/Year
A student rusticated from the University or suspended or debarred the classes due to any reason
whatsoever or having withdrawn from a semester / year on medical grounds, shall have to meet the
requirement of 75% attendance in each course in a semester and shall have to complete the program within
its maximum time limit of seven years for Four Year UG program as specified in Regulations excluding the
period of rustication if any.
Termination of Enrollment
Due to Absencewithout Leave
During 1st
Year
If a student registered in the first year of the program is continuously absent from the classes for
more than four weeks without informing the authority the names of such students shall be removed from
the University rolls and such absence during first year will render the student ineligible for re-admission
under due process.
During 2nd
to 4th
Year
If a studentregistered in the 2nd
year and aboveof the programis continuously absentfromthe class
for more than six weeks without taking leave from the authority, the enrolment of such students shall be
terminated from the University rolls and such students will be ineligible for re-admission under due process.
Due to Misconduct
When astudent is found guilty of serious Acts of misconduct the Vice Chancellor may in the exercise
of his powers, order or direct that any student-
a. be expelled from the University, in which case he shall not be re-admitted to the University;
or
b. be, for a stated period, rusticated in which case he shall notbe admitted to the University till
the expiry of the period of rustication; or
c. be not, for a stated period, admitted to a course or courses of study of the University; or
d. be imposed with the fine of a specified amount of money;
18. e. be debarred from taking a University examination or examinations for one or more years
On Academic Grounds
The student who has earned not more than 10 credits at the end of first semester shall be given a
warning for his / her poorperformance. The enrolment of a studentin a program shall stand terminated if he
/ she fails to earn 18 credits at the end of first year. The communication regarding termination of enrolment
shall be issued within fifteen days from the date of declaration of results.
The duration of the B. Tech. program is 4 years i.e. 8 semesters. The enrolment of a student will stand
cancelled at the end of 7 years from the date of initial registration in the first semester.
A student whose enrolment has been terminated may appeal to the VC for reconsideration within
fifteen days from the date of issuance of the communication of termination and the appeal will be disposed
off within fifteen days. If the appeal is allowed, his / her registration and enrolment shall be restored.
MinimumCredits andMinimum CGPA for the Degree
The credits for the coursesin which a studenthasobtained‘D’ (minimum passing grade for a course)
grade or higher shall be counted as Credit earned by him / her. A student who has a minimum CGPA of 5.0
and earned the required number of credits as specified in the UG curriculum he / she is registered for, is
eligible for the award of the respective degree.
A student who has earned the minimum credits required for a degree but fails to obtain the minimum
specified CGPA for this purpose, shall be allowed to register in course (s) till the minimum CGPA is attained
within the maximum time limit for different programs.
Total Ragging Prohibition:
(1) Ragging in any form shall be strictly prohibited within the premises of the University, a college
or an institution, asthe case may be, or in any part of the University system as well as on public
transport, or at any other place, public or private.

19. Annexure-I:
Statistical Methodfor the Award of Grades (For Courses in which number of students is more than 30)
For the award of grades in a course, all component-wise evaluation shall be done in marks. The
marksof different componentsviz. ContinuousInternalEvaluation(CIE), End Term Examination (ETE), Course
Work Sessionals (CWS) and Practical Sessionals (PRS) would be reduced to relative weights of each
components as approved by the AC and added. Marks so obtained shall be out of 100 and the same would
be converted to grades following the guidelines given below: The statistical method shall invariably be used ,
with marginal adjustment for natural cut-off. The mean and the standard deviation of marks obtained of all
the students in a course shall be calculated and used to convert the marks into normal variate (Z). The
normalized marks (Z) shall be arranged in decreasing order to work out ranges for different letter grades.
Z =
X − X̅
σ
Where X = Actual Marks obtained, X = Mean of marks and σ = Standard deviation.
The grade boundaries are left to the discretion of Moderation Committee. However, a minimum of ‘D’ grade
will be awarded if the student scores more than 35 marks in aggregate in a course. The set of boundaries for
Z variate is mentioned in the Table-5 below:

circumstances, he/she may apply for the award of ‘I’ grade to the Chairman, BoS through the Course
Coordinator, provided that he/she has not been disqualified due to shortage of attendance. The concerned
course coordinator shall have to be convinced about the extraordinary circumstances and shall have to
certify the attendance record before this rarely used option to award ‘I’ grade is recommended. The
Chairman BoS may award ‘I’ grade.
b) The ‘I” grade so awarded shall be notified by the Department to which the student belongs and a copy of
the notification will be endorsed to the COE and to the concerned Course Coordinator (e.g. the notification
for ‘I’ grade of a Mechanical Engineering student will be notified by the Department of Mechanical
Engineering on the recommendation of the concerned Course Coordinator, even if the course pertains to
another Department.
c) The ‘I’ grade shall be converted into a proper letter grade as per the provisions in Ordinance 7(9) after
make-up examination is over and the requirements of the course are completed by the student and shall be
sent to the COE.
d) In extra ordinary circumstances, the period of conversion of ‘I’ grade may be extended to the next
semester, with the approvalof the concerned authority onhis own or on the recommendation of the Course
Coordinator and the Head of the Departments.
e) In extra-ordinary circumstances, on the recommendation of the concerned authority or the Vice-
Chancellor may order the award of ‘I’ grade to a student/class or a batch of students taking a particular
course. The conversion of ‘I’ grade into a regular grade or any other action shall be as per the directive of the
Vice-Chancellor.
