Credit System

Education at the Institute is organised aroundthe credit system of study. The prominentfeatures of the credit system are a processof continuous evaluation of a student’sperformance/progress and flexibility to allowa student to progress at an optimum pacesuited to his/her ability or convenience,subject to fulfilling minimum requirement forcontinuation.

Each course has a certain number of creditswhich describe its weightage. A student’sperformance/progress is measured by thenumber of credits that he/she has completedsatisfactorily. A minimum grade point averageis required to be maintained for satisfactoryprogress. Also a minimum number of earnedcredits should be acquired in order to qualifyfor the degree.

Every course is coordinated by a member ofthe teaching staff of the Department/Centrewhich is offering the course in a givensemester. This faculty member is called theCourse Coordinator. He/she has the fullresponsibility for conducting the course,coordinating the work of the other membersof the faculty involved in that course, holdingthe tests and assignments, and awarding thegrades. For any difficulty, the student isexpected to approach the CourseCoordinator for advice and clarification.

Medium of Instructions at the Instituteis English

Courses

Each course offered by the Institute isidentified by three letters followed by threenumerical digits. The details about thenumbering are given on page 8.

Credits and their Evaluation

Each course has a certain number of creditswhich reflect its weightage. Credits of acourse are evaluated as under :

(a) For all lecture courses, one credit perlecture/week/semester will generally beadopted.

(b) Every one laboratory hour per weekper semester will be assigned halfcredit. Courses with odd numbers oflaboratory hours having fractionalcredits will be accepted. The courseshaving 1.5 hour contact/week/semester or 3 hours contact/alternateweek/semester will be rationalized to

RULES, REGULATIONS, EVALUATION AND GRADING

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

have integer number of contact hoursper week so that fractions smaller than0.5 are not involved in creditassignment of laboratory courses.

(c) The Minor and Major Project will betreated like any other course and willbe registered by the students with fullcredits. The project grade will beincluded in the computation of theCGPA. The SGPA or CGPA will becomputed in course work only for thesemester in which a continuation gradei.e., ‘X’ is awarded for the MajorProject- Part II.

Specialisation

(a) Students will be admitted to theM.Tech./M.S. (Research)/M.Des.programmes in the departments andin interdisciplinary programmes for anM.Tech./M.S. (Research)/M.Des.degree of the Institute withspecialization in one of the areasapproved by the Senate.

(b) The areas of specialisation for adepartment will be approved by theSenate by following the normalprocedure applicable to theestablishment of a new programme.

(c) Which of the allowed specialisationsare to be offered by a department/interdisciplinary programme to itsstudents in any particular year will bedetermined by the Department Board/Programme Executive Committee.

Minimum Student Requirement for aCourse

On the day of registration, a course willnormally have a minimum of four studentsand in the case of a pre-Ph.D. course, aminimum of three students excluding thoseauditing the course.

Minimum Student Requirement for aProgramme

No programme will be run unless the numberof students registered for the programme issix or more. If the number of students left ina programme at the end of the 2nd semesteris less than four, the same programme maybe looked into for temporary suspension bythe Board of Educational Research &Planning.

Audit Course Requirement

The requirement for an Audit Pass (NP) gradewould be laid down by the teacher of a course

at the beginning of the course. If theperformance of a student is not satisfactory,he would be awarded ‘NF’ grade.

Candidates registered for Ph.D. programmesshall be required to audit a three-creditcourse on Communication Skill in addition tothe course work of 12/6 credits dependingon entry qualification referred to underPh.D.requirements.

A Ph.D. student registered in the compulsoryaudit course - HUL 810 "CommunicationSkills" be given exemption in this course bythe DRC/CRC only till the last date forwithdrawal of a course. A student who is notallowed exemption by the said date, will haveto complete the course as per registration inthe semester.

Audit grade can be requested by a studentin a particular course in which he/she isalready registered not later than four weeksfrom the date of registration.

The Grading System

The grade awarded to a student in anyparticular course will be based on his/herperformance in minor tests (usually 2),major test, quizzes, home assignments,laboratory work, workshop and drawingassignment etc. The distribution of theweightage will be decided by the CourseCoordinator.

The letter grades that can be awarded andtheir equivalent grade points are listedbelow :

Grade Grade Description ofpoints performance

A 10 OutstandingA (—) 9 ExcellentB 8 Very goodB (—) 7 GoodC 6 AverageC (—) 5 Below averageD 4 MarginalE 2 PoorF 0 Very PoorI - IncompleteNP - Audit PassNF - Audit failW - WithdrawalX - Continued Project (only

RULE

The Grade Point Average (GPA) iscalculated as follows :

S (Number of Credits x Grade Point)GPA =

S ( Number of Credits Registered)

For the purpose of calculation of GPA forSGPA or CGPA, only those courses(including minors and major project) will betaken into account in which the student hasbeen awarded one of A, B, C, D, E or Fgrade.

‘E’ and ‘F’ Grades

These grades refer to unsatisfactoryperformance in a course. A student isrequired to repeat all compulsory courses(including Major Project-Part-I) except forMajor Project- Part-II in which he/she obtainseither an E or F grade. E and F gradesobtained in any course will stay permanentlyon the Grade Card and they are included inthe evaluation of SGPA. However, ‘Fail’grades (E&F) will not be counted forcalculating the CGPA of all postgraduatestudents.

‘I’ Grade

This refers to an “incomplete” grade whichis required to be converted into a regulargrade later.

Guidelines for the Award of ‘I’ Grade

(a) ‘I’ grade may be awarded to a student ifshe/he has not fulf i l led all therequirements for the course on accountof extraordinary circumstancessubject to having 50% attendance intutorials and/or lab. classes asapplicable.

The concerned Course Coordinatorshould be convinced about theextraordinary circumstances andshould certify the attendance recordbefore this rarely used option to award‘I’ grade is recommended.

(b) The ‘I’ grades so awarded will be notifiedby the Department to which the studentbelongs and copy of the notification willbe enclosed to Academic Section(Postgraduate Studies) and to theCourse Coordinator concerned (e.g.,the notification for ‘I’ grade of a CivilEngineering student will be notified bythe Civil Engineering Department on therecommendation of the concernedCourse Coordinator, even if the coursepertains to another department.

(c) The ‘I’ grade shall be converted into aproper grade and sent to AcademicSection (Postgraduate Studies) within

10 days from the date on which all themajor tests are over.

(d) In special situations arising due toextraordinary circumstances the periodof conversion of ‘I’ grade may beextended to the first week of the nextsemester, with the approval of Dean,Postgraduate Studies & Research onthe recommendation of the CourseCoordinator, the Head of theDepartment to which the studentbelongs and the concerned Warden,for which the request has to be madesufficiently in advance.

‘NP’/’NF’ Grades

These grades are awarded to an auditcourse defined as one which a student mayregister for on pass (NP)/fail (NF) basis.These grades are not counted in thecalculation of SGPA or CGPA.

The courses in which a student has got ̀ NP'grade will not count towards his/her validcredits required for completion of degree/diploma.

‘W’ grade

This refers to withdrawal from a course otherthan Major Project which is allowed upto oneweek after the end of first Minor Test withprior permission of Course Coordinator.

Notwithstanding the above, the Board ofPostgraduate Studies & Research maypermit a student to withdraw from all coursesprovided the Board of Postgraduate Studies& Research is convinced that the studentcould not pursue his studies for reasonsbeyond his control.

Major Project

An M.Tech. student shall register MajorProject part-I of 6 credits. Fail Grades ̀ E' &`F' are not to be counted for computing theCGPA.

A student shall be eligible to register for theMajor Project - Part-II only on satisfactorycompletion of the Major Project Part-I.

‘X’ Grade

This grade is provided for incomplete MajorProject - Part-II work and will be convertedto a regular grade on completion of theProject work and its evaluation.

Guidelines for the Award of ‘X’ Grade

In case his/her attendance fallsbelow 75% in any course during a month,he/she will not be paid Assistantship for thatmonth. Further, if his/her attendance againfalls short of 75% in any course in anysubsequent month in that semester, his/herstudentship and Assistantship will beterminated. A research scholar after havingcompleted the course work must attend tohis/her research work on all the workingdays and mark attendance except when he/she is on duly sanctioned leave. Therequirement of 75% attendance will applyas above, on daily attendance except in thecases where longer leave has been dulysanctioned within the leave entitlement ofthe student.

For the above purpose, if 75% works out tobe a number which is not a whole number,the immediate lower whole number will betreated as the required 75% attendance.

Further Regulations Governing Ph.D.Students

The Ph.D. degree of the Institute may beconferred on a candidate who fulfills all therequirements detailed in the ordinances andother rules, approved by the Senate. Someof the important regulations are given below:

1. Applications for Ph.D. registration, i.e.,for entry to a course of study and researchleading to Ph.D. degree must be made toBPGS on the approved form. The date ofregistration is normally the date of joiningthe programme. However, in exceptional

cases the date of registration may bepreponed by a maximum of 6 months byBPGS if it is convinced that the candidatehas spent adequate amount of time onresearch earlier.

2. The academic programme of all thePh.D. candidates in a department/centre willbe coordinated by the DRC/CRC appointedby BPGS&R.

3. The supervisor shall be a full-timemember of the academic staff of theInstitute. The supervisor(s) shall beappointed within three months of joining theprogramme. If necessary, the Board ofPostgraduate Studies & Research on therecommendations of the Supervisorthrough the DRC/CRC, may appoint JointSupervisor(s) not exceeding two from insideor outside the Institute. Normally, thereshould not be more than two supervisorsfor a candidate from within the Institute.Appointment of any Joint Supervisor wouldnot be permitted after a lapse of eighteenmonths from the date of registration of thecandidate, except in case when none of thesupervisors is in the Institute for a year ormore at a stretch.

4. The DRC/CRC shall meet from time totime and review the progress of eachcandidate in course work, as well asresearch, by any means, including oralexamination of the candidate, if necessary,and recommend, after due consultation withthe supervisor(s), such steps to thecandidate as are necessary to improve hisperformance.

5. The progress of each candidate will bemonitored by DRC/CRC. For this purposethe following procedures will be followed :

(a) Ph.D research work wil l becompulsorily given a course number,DTD 899 (Doctoral Thesis) for allcandidates across the Institute.

(b) The DRC/CRC Secretary/Ph.D.Coordinator will be Coordinatingcollection of progress reports writtenand signed by the scholars andforwarded by the supervisors everysemester.

(c) The supervisor(s)/SRC/DRC/CRC willevaluate the progress of the studentevery semester.

(d) ‘X’ grade will be awarded during thatsemester if the progress is‘satisfactory’.

(e) If the progress is ‘unsatisfactory’, ‘U’grade will be awarded. For the firstappearance of ‘U’ grade, a warningwould be issued to the candidate byDean, PGS & R. If his performancedoes not improve after warning, thefellowship may be withheld.

6

PG 2ndProof 22.6.05

(f) If there are two consecutive ‘U’s, theregistration will stand terminated.

(g) Submission of progress report shouldcontinue till submission of thesis.

(h) Like all other courses, the grades forDTD 899 will be discussed in theDepartment/Centre as per semesterschedule.

The above process will continue till thethesis is submitted.

6. The candidate may submit his thesis atany time provided that :

(a) He/she has completed the minimum periodof registration including any extensionprescribed by the Board of PostgraduateStudies & Research.

(b) He/she has completed the course workrequirement as prescribed by the DRC/CRC with GPA not below 7.50 and hasalso cleared the comprehensiveexamination.

(c) He/she has submitted at least two monthspreviously, the title and a synopsis of thethesis.

7. The thesis shall normally be written inEnglish in the specific format and shall containa critical account of the candidate’s research.It should be characterized by discovery offacts of fresh approach towards interpretationof facts and theories or significant contributionto knowledge of design or develop-ment, or acombination of them. It should bear evidenceof the candidate’s capacity for analysis andjudgement and also his ability to carry outindependent investigation, design ordevelopment. A thesis may be supplementedby published work, if necessary. No part of thethesis or supplementary published work, shallhave been submitted for the award of anyother degree/Diploma. Normally, three copiesof thesis in soft cover have to be submitted inthe format prescribed by the Institute. In caseof joint supervision, four copies of the thesisare required to be submitted.

8. On receipt of the title and synopsis of athesis the Dean, PGS&R will appoint a Boardof Examiners of each candidate. The Boardwill consist of one (or two) internal examiner(s),normally the supervisor(s), and two externalexaminers, one from within India and one fromabroad who shall be expert in the subject ofthesis. These external examiners shall bechosen from a list of 6 to 8, to be recommendedby the supervisor(s) through the DRC/CRCwhile forwarding the title and synopsis of thethesis. The candidate will be required to submita fresh synopsis if more than 9 months havepassed before submission of the thesis.

9. Each Examiner will submit a detailedassessment report recommending to theBPGS, one of the following courses of action :

(a) that the thesis be deemed satisfactoryand that the candidate may defend histhesis orally before a committeeconstituted for the purpose and anymembers of the faculty and researchstudents who wish to be present.

(b) that the candidate may submit a revisedthesis after the expiry of a specificperiod. In the normal circumstances, hemay submit the revised thesis within aperiod of one year from the date ofcommunication in this regard from theDean, PGS&R. However, in exceptionalcircumstances, this period may beextended by the BPGS&R by anotherone year : the total revision timeirrespective of the number of revisionsallowed will not exceed a period of twoyears.

(c) that the thesis be rejected outright.

In the event of disagreement betweenthe external examiners, the BPGS may,as a special case, appoint anotherexternal examiner, if the merit of thecase so demands. The examiner willreport independently to the BPGS.

10. The oral defence of the thesis shall beconducted by a committee consisting of theinternal examiner(s) and one externalexaminer. If none of the external examiners,is available for the conduct of the oraldefence, an alternative external examinershall be appointed by the BPGS for thispurpose only.

11. On the completion of all stages of theexamination, the Oral Defence Committeeshall recommend to the BPGS one of thefollowing courses of action :

(a) that the degree be awarded.

(b) that the candidate should be examinedon a further occasion in a manner theyshall prescribe.

(c) that the degree shall not be awarded.

In case (a), the Oral DefenceCommittee shall also provide to thecandidate a list of all corrections andmodifications, if any, suggested by theexaminers.

Notes :The schedule as presented is only indicative of how a typical student may register for courses, but allowsconsiderable flexibility to the student of choice of when to register for programme and open electives.Select students who wish to conduct their project work outside Delhi, e.g. those in special academic exchangeprogrammes, may, on approval, swap the Minor project with an OE/PE course usually taken in Semester III,and may also register for an additional OE/PE course in the Semester II. The Minor Project and IndependentStudy courses may be taken in the summer in these special cases.600 level courses are not available to undergraduate and dual degree students.600 level programme elective courses may be taken by students only an approval of M.Tech coordinator,since these are courses typically in undergraduate curricula, which are made available to PG students whohave taken equivalent courses earlier.
