However, if such conversion is done before spending two semesters after admission, the
minimum and maximum durations shall become as specified for part-time students.
6. Curriculum and Credit System
6.1 Credit System
Each M. Tech. program will have a curriculum in which every course will be assigned certain
credits reflecting its weight and contact periods per week, as given below:
1 Lecture period (L) per week = 1 Credit
1 Practical period (P) per week = 1 Credit
1 General period (G) per week = 1 Credit
In addition to theory and laboratory courses there may be other courses such as seminar,
colloquium, project, dissertation etc., which will be assigned credits as per their contribution
in the program without regard to contact periods. The general period may be used for
lecture, presentation, field work, literature search, discussions, software development, or for
such other purposes as may be decided by the teacher(s) concerned.
6.2 Coordinators and Curriculum Development Committee
There shall be a Chief Coordinator, M. Tech. Programs, to be nominated by the Dean, and a
Coordinator, M. Tech. Program in each department, to be nominated by the Chairman of the
department concerned. Normally the Chief Tabulator will be the Chief Coordinator, M. Tech.
Programs. There shall also be a standing Curriculum Development Committee (CDC), to be
constituted by the Faculty. The Chief Coordinator, M. Tech. Programs will be the Convener
of the CDC.
6.3 The Curriculum Structure
The curriculum for each branch/specialization will contain a listing of all courses, with each
course having a course number, course title, number of contact periods per week, number of
credits assigned, and the marks assigned to various components of evaluation. It will also
have a list of alternative courses in the new curriculum for the old curriculum courses and
filler courses to compensate for the shortfall in credits earned by taking alternative courses in
any category, if needed. It will also specify all other conditions required for the award of
degree.
6.4 Approval of the Curriculum
The curriculum for each branch/specialization of M. Tech. program will be prepared by the
department concerned and will be approved by the Board of Studies of the department. It will
then be vetted by the CDC and will then be placed in the Faculty along with the
recommendations of the CDC for approval. Once approved by the Faculty, the Curriculum
will be implemented. The same procedure shall be used for any modification in the
Curriculum.
7. Registration
(a) Every student is required to register, in each semester, for the courses that he/she wants
to pursue in that semester. The registration schedule will be announced by the
Dean/Chairman for every semester. The registration process involves:

48
 M.Tech. Ordinances

(i) Submitting a registration form in the office of the Chairman and obtaining a
registration card signed by the Chairman;
(ii) Paying the required fees.

(b) A student will normally register for higher semester courses only if he has also registered
for uncleared courses of previous semesters.

(c) A student will have the option to add/delete/alter the courses in his/her registration within
a week of the registration subject to such conditions as may be imposed by the
department concerned from time to time.

(d) A student can drop a course from his/her registration by submitting a request to his/her
department coordinator up to a date specified on his/her registration card. A registered
course will be counted as an attempt even if the student remains absent in the
Examination(s).

(e) A student may be denied registration in a course due to reasons of paucity of staff or
space or other facilities, especially in case the student is registering a course for
improving the grade in a passed course.

(f) If a student fails to register in two consecutive semesters without specific permission
from the Dean, his/her name may be removed from the rolls of the faculty. Such a
student may apply to the Dean for re-admission stating the reasons for not being able to
register for two consecutive semesters and the Dean will take suitable decision on the
merit of the case.

(g) No student will be allowed to register for more than 28 credits in a semester.

8. Attendance (In lieu of Chapter XVII of the Academic Ordinances)

Attendance in each course separately is compulsory at least once. Students who have put in
75% or more attendance in a course in a semester will be eligible to appear in the End-
Semester Examination of that course. Students who have put in 65% or more but less than
75% attendance in a course may be considered for condonation of shortage of attendance in
that course by the condonation committee. Students whose attendance in a course is less
than 65% or whose shortage in attendance has not been condoned will not be eligible to
appear in the End-Semester Examination of that course and will be awarded grade ‘F’ in that
course and all marks obtained in any component of the courseevaluation will stand
cancelled. However, in case a student is repeating a course and the student has already
fulfilled the attendance requirement in that course, he/she will not be detained due to
shortage of attendance in that course during the repeating semester.
9. Examination and Evaluation
9.1 Components of Evaluation
Each course will be evaluated out of 100 marks. The courses will normally have the following
components of evaluation:
(a) Theory courses:
Course work 15 marks
Mid-Semester Examination 25 marks
End-Semester Examination 60 marks
(b) Laboratory courses including Seminar, Colloquium, Project, dissertation etc.
Course work 60 marks
End-Semester Examination 40 marks

49
 M.Tech. Ordinances

However, for special academic reasons, some courses may have different weight for
different components of evaluation from that given above. Such special reasons will be spelt
out clearly in the curriculum.
9.2 Grading System
The combined marks obtained by a student in various components of evaluation of a course
shall be converted into regular letter grades with their equivalent grade points as specified
below:
Grade Grade Points Description
A 10 Outstanding
B 8 Very good
C 6 Good
D 4 Satisfactory (Minimum Pass Grade)
E 2 Unsatisfactory (Fail)
F 0 Detained due to shortage of attendance
I 0 Incomplete/Absent in the End-Semester Examination
Z 0 Cancelled due to other reasons

The following marks ranges may ordinarily be used for the award of grades to the students in
a course.

Range Grade
75 and above A
60 and above but less than 75 B
45 and above but less than 60 C
35 and above but less than 45 D
Less than 35 E

Two grace marks may be awarded by the examiner for passing a course and one grace
mark may be awarded by the examiner to elevate the grade. Any fraction in any component
of evaluation should be rounded off to the next whole number. The examiner(s) may propose
higher or lower grade ranges depending upon the nature of the course and general
performance of the students in the course, but the final decision rests with the Result
Moderation Committee. However, the minimum passing grade `D` should never be awarded
if a student secures below 35 marks (including 2 grace marks) in a course.
9.3 Earned Credits (EC)
If a student passes a course by obtaining grade D or above he/she earns the credits
assigned to that course.
9.4 Performance Indices
At the end of every semester a student’s performance will be indicated by Earned Credits
(EC), a Semester Performance Index (SPI), and a Cumulative Performance Index (CPI). The
SPI is the credit-weighted average of grade points of all courses registered during a
semester and is computed as follows:
SPI = (C1G1 + C2G2 +……) / (C1 + C2 +…….)
Where C1, C2, ….. are the credits assigned to courses and G1, G2, …… are the grade
points earned in those courses.
The CPI is the credit-weighted average of grade points of all courses passed in all the
semesters
since admission.

50
 M.Tech. Ordinances

9.5 Repetition of a Failed Course

If a student fails in a course his/her marks of all components of evaluation in that course will
be cancelled. The student will have to register the course again or its alternative and will be
required to appear in all components of evaluation afresh. No previous marks shall be used
in any case.
9.6 Repetition of a Passed Course
A student may repeat a course to try to improve his/her grade in that course only once,
provided that he/she has passed that course in a single attempt. In such case the student
will have to register the course again and will be required appear in all components of
evaluation afresh. No previous marks shall be used in any case. For the purpose of
calculating the SPI the recently obtained grade will be considered while for CPI the better of
the two grades will be counted.
9.7 Conduct of Examinations
(a) The examiners for the End-Semester Examination of all theory courses will normally
be the teacher(s) associated with the course. The Seminar, Colloquium courses will
be examined by the teacher(s) associated with the course and one or more
examiners from among the teachers of the department to be recommended by the
BOS of the department concerned. The laboratory and project courses will be
examined by the teachers(s) associated with the course and an external examiner
not in the service of the university at the time of examination. In case the external
examiner does not turn up for the examination, the Chairman of the department
concerned, in consultation with the course incharge, shall call another person to act
as the external examiner, even from within the University, if necessary.
(b) The dissertation will be submitted after all other components of the M. Tech. Program
are completed. The dissertation will be examined by the supervisor(s) and an
external examiner not in the service of the university at the time of examination.
9.8 Moderation Committees
(a) Question Paper Moderation Committee: There shall be a Moderation Committee of the
concerned Department consisting of the following members to moderate the Question
Papers of the End-Semester Examination.
(i) Chairman of the Department concerned – (Convener)
(ii) One senior teacher of the Department in each broad area of specialization (to be
appointed by the BOS).

Note: The Paper Setter(s) may be invited, if necessary, to clarify the necessary details of the
question paper.

(b) Result Moderation Committee: There shall be a Result Moderation Committee of the
concerned Department consisting of the following members to moderate course-wise
results of the End-Semester Examinations.
(i) Chairman of the Department concerned - (Convener)
(ii) One senior teacher of the Department in each broad area of specialization (to be
appointed by the BOS).
(iii) Examiner(s) concerned.

The Result Moderation Committee will examine the result of each theory course and in case
of an abnormal situation; it may take suitable corrective measures in consultation with the
examiner(s). The examiner(s) will place the evaluated answer scripts along with the brief
solution and marking scheme before the Committee. In case of difference of opinion among
the members of the Committee, the majority decision will prevail, in which the examiner(s)
will not participate.
