Department Integrated Information Technology Services (HD-IITS).
“If the vehicle has indeed
been seized by the city police
somewhere, the database
will show this immediately.
Currently, a person has to
wait while police agencies go
through the seized vehicles

We have proposed that fuel

of safety. Likewise, as it will

of theft of important parts
from parked vehicles
will also be minimised,” said
the official.

BJP is using government
machinery to influence the
voters in all the six
constituencies. “It is also
evident that there is a

Cept’s brand-new architecture of intellect
Restructuring Plan Envisages Streamlined Courses And Encouragement Of Holistic Learning
Paul John | TNN

Ahmedabad: The main objective of
the restructuring plan of the Cept
University — ratified by the board of
management — is to make Cept a system-driven institution. For the first
time students will be allowed to
choose courses other than the ones
they are enrolled in, as elective subjects.
Special certificate courses will be
offered to students and professionals
during summer and winter vacations. These courses will be open to
students from anywhere in the country
.
A policy document says that the
restructuring plan aims to make the
university self-sufficient, which will
help it maintain its autonomy finan,
cial independence, and traditions.
The plan will also ensure sharing of
utilities among faculties, like labs
and resources. The plan also fixes the
number of teaching hours for fulltime faculty members to ensure that

TOI

Pogrammes streamlined
ll postgraduate programmes
conferring the same degree — for
example MArch — will be run jointly.
As a result, the first semesters of
these programmes will have
common instruction. Students
joining postgraduate programmes
will benefit by learning from
a larger number of teachers. TNN

CEPT: VISION FOR FUTURE

students get the maximum out of the
courses.
“Cept’s tradition has been to build
a cosmopolitan environment and encourage collaborative academic exercises,” says a senior faculty member

of the university “The board’s focus
.
is now is clear on building professionals.”
The policy document states that
all faculties will function independently as they had earlier, but they will

also be handed responsibility of upholding the value of all degrees, diplomas and certificates. For this new administrative offices will be created.
Accordingly separate undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programme offices will be set up. These
offices will be led by faculty members,
and will work with various faculties
to define university policies. These
faculty members will hold these positions for a period of three years.

Calendar reorganized
n the upcoming academic calendar

I year, besides the two semesters,

Cept will have two more four-week
teaching sessions. The sessions will
be a part of the Cept Summer School
and Cept Winter School. Cept intends
to open these programmes not only to
its own students, but also to students
from schools across the country. TNN

For managing consultation works
of faculties for private and government bodies, the university’s special
wing called the ‘Cept University Research and Consulting’ will ensure a
system to decide the agendas for the
consultation jobs. That system will be
put in place by cross-faculty thematic
research committees. These committees will guide strategic alliances and
collaborations of the Cept faculties
with other agencies.

General notes
1. The Contact hr/Credit and Prep hr/Credit ratios for Thesis and Internship is per student, therefore while calculating faulty load, multiply with No. of students.
2. To obtain PH/CH, divide column f by e.
3. TA preparation time is assumed to be 50% of Academic Staff.
4. TA pool is all of CEPT.
5. When designing any of the programmes, one must ensure that during any given semester, mandatory course requirements are approximately 15 credits, however for the programme as a whole, these should be 75% of the required credits for the programme.

Instructor/s: Meghal Arya, Rathin Goghari,
Puneet Mehrotra
As the first introduction to creative
exploration of the built environment, this
studio explores the principles of space
making. The taught skills of the course
include recording the built environment,
model making and sketches as tools of
expression, the idea of the human body and
its measurement, and basic principles of
space making. This is done through a series
of exercises and short design projects.

Instructor/s: Sharad Panchal, Sachin Soni
This workshop emphasizes technical
drawing as a medium of communication for
basic vocabulary in architecture. Students
learn to represent different objects through
2D and 3D geometry thereby developing
visualization skills. Contents include
orthographic
projections,
surface
development,
auxiliary
projections,
axonometric and isometric drawing

Instructor/s: Vishwanath Kashikar, Ayaz
Pathan
This workshop offers an in-depth exploration
of building materials through a hands-on
approach. Various aspects of building
materials like material properties, production
processes, skills and tools required for
construction,
environmental
impact,
economic considerations, and usage in
buildings are explored. The emphasis is on
learning by doing as opposed to mere
theoretical knowledge of material properties.
