4. Programme Structure

The curriculum will consist of courses of study (Theory, Practical, Contemporary Courses,

Mini Project, Term Papers, Project, Audit Courses, Self-study Courses, MOOCs, Summer

Internship and Full Semester Internship and Courses related Employability Skills) and

syllabi as prescribed by the respective Boards of Studies from time to time. The curriculum is

bifurcated into FSI and Non-FSI modes from 7th semester onwards.

Every student will be required to opt for six elective courses spanned across the semester from

4th to 8th semester from the list of electives as prescribed in the curriculum. Under Choice Based

Credit System (CBCS), the students may take one elective from the list of open electives offered

by other branches of engineering technology in consultation with their respective department.

a. Contemporary Courses: These courses are designed with the help of experts from

industries and driven by experts from industries along with the internal faculty

members on the recent developments in core areas of engineering and technology.

These courses shall be registered as an elective course during their course of study

b. Mini Project: The curriculum offers Mini Projects in two different forms viz: (i) Mini

Project as a mandatory component in all lab courses (ii) 2 credit Mini Project during

5th or 6th semester. With respect to second one (ii) students will take mini project

batch wise and the batches will be divided as similar to lab courses. The report will

be evaluated by a committee as nominated by CoE constituted with internal &

external panels

c. Term Paper: The Term Paper is a self-study report and shall be carried out either

during 5th or 6th semester in choice with Mini Project. Every student will take up

this term paper individually and submit a report. The scope of the term paper could

be an exhaustive literature review choosing any engineering concept with reference

to standard research papers or an extension of the concept of earlier course work in

consultation with the term paper supervisor. The report will be evaluated by a

committee as nominated by HoD with the approval of CoE

d. Project work: The final project work shall be carried out during the 8th semester in

the non- FSI Model. Projects will be taken up batch wise. Internal evaluation will be

done by the Project Review Committee (PRC), comprising of HOD and one senior

faculty member along with the project supervisor. Semester end evaluation will be

done by Project Evaluation Committee (PEC) comprising of three members

including HOD, project guide and an external examiner nominated by the CoE


vi

e. Audit Courses: Audit courses are among the compulsory courses and do not carry

any credits. All the students shall register for one Audit courses in the beginning of

3rdsemester. List of the courses will be notified at the beginning of the third

semester for all students and the student has to choose one audit course under self-

study mode at the beginning of third semester. By the end of sixth semester, all the

students (regular and lateral entry students) shall complete the audit course

The students will have total four chances to clear the audit course beginning from

third semester. Further, the student has an option to change the audit course in case

if s/he is unable to clear the audit course in the first two chances. However, the audit

course should be completed by 6thsemester and its notification will be given in the

6th semester marks memo. Its result shall be declared with “Satisfactory” or “Not

Satisfactory” performance. In case, if any student could not clear the Audit course in

four attempts , the case may be presented before the Academic counsel for an

appropriate action before the completion of 8th semester

f. Self-Study Courses: Self-study courses are the courses which are more similar to

theory courses where in the students learn the courses on independent mode. The

evaluation and assessment pattern for such courses shall be carried out as similar to

regular theory course. These courses shall be opted after getting proper approval

from the respective head of the department as well from the other head of the

department which is offering the course

g. MOOCs: Meeting with the global requirements, to inculcate the habit of self-learning

and in compliance with UGC guidelines, MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) have

been introduced as electives

� The proposed MOOCs would be additional choices in all the elective

groups subject to the availability during the respective semesters and

respective departments will declare the list of the courses at the

beginning of the semester, which are having a minimum of 45 hours in a

given semester

� Course content for the selected MOOCs shall be drawn from respective

MOOCs links or shall be supplied by the department. Course will be

mentored by faculty members and Assessment & evaluation of the

courses shall be done by the department

� Three credits will be awarded upon successful completion of each

MOOCs

h. Summer Internship: As a part of curriculum in all branches of Engineering, it is

mandatory for all students to undergo summer internship Programme at industries

(core or allied) / R & D organization to get practical insight of their subject domain

during summer break after the 4th semester. This summer internship Programme

shall be availed to a maximum duration of 4 weeks and the assessment shall be

carried out with both internal and external experts leading to “Satisfactory” and


vii

“Non-Satisfactory Performance” and it will not be accounted for the calculation of

CGPA

i. Employability Skills: It is mandatory for all students to take a course on

Employability Skills from 3rd Semester to 6th Semester. The Employability Skills are

covered under two broad streams viz. Aptitude skills and Soft Skills. The credits

earned through these courses will be indicated in the grade sheet and will not be

taken into account for CGPA calculation.

j. Full Semester Internship: Students can opt for full semester Internship

Programme at industries based on their self-interest either during 7th or 8th

semester to get practical insight relevant to their core branch of engineering or in

allied branch of study under the guidance of internal and external expert members

in the institute and at Industries respectively. Since the FSI is an institutionalized

process, the selection for the FSI among the interested students is subject to the

following norms prescribed by CDC :

i) Minimum CGPA cut-off up to 5th semester as prescribed by CDC

ii) Competency mapping

iii) FSI opportunities available

iv) Selection process by the company

Further the credits earned through FSI Programme will be indicated in the grade sheet and

will be accounted for the calculation of CGPA.
