PREFACE
With upgradation of Regional Engineering College Jalandhar into National Institute of Technology
Jalandhar (Deemed University), the academic programmes are to be regulated in accordance with the
stipulations made in National Institute of Technology rules, 2002. Accordingly the institute requires to
restructure academic programmes around the credit system in which Mark System of evaluation is
replaced by Letter Grade System and Year wise passing makes way for course wise passing.

We have tried our best to prepare a Model Curriculum and syllabi for four year under graduate
programme in Chemical and Bio Engineering. The exercise was handicapped with the following
difficulties:

i) It is interdisciplinary in character involving considerable inputs from other disciplines.


ii) It depends on advances in science, technology and materials
iii) Its differential status at the National and International level

It is really challenging to evolve a common programme for this discipline that meets the need of
national and international industries and research establishments. However, with the rich experience
of successful experimentation with above idea for over forty years, the task of development of a model
curriculum could be possible.

The suggested curriculum is based on philosophy presented by the Dean (Academic Programmes)
during 5th Senate meeting of the institute held on January 14, 2005. it possesses the following
features:

i) The suggested curriculum is in conformity with IIT/AICTE norms with emphasis on analysis
and design of industrial processes required to work in control environment.
ii) The graduates turned out have to be acceptable by national and international industry and
academic / research establishments.
iii) The programme has to be forward looking in context of the rapid changing scenario of
science and technology which provides a proper balance in teaching of basic sciences, social
sciences and management, engineering sciences and technical arts, technologies and their
applications.
iv) Core subjects have been selected to cover all those, which are essential in training of CB
graduates.
v) The curriculum presents flexibility so that new programmes started with reasonable sources
can be managed with a scope of further updating as the resource position improves.

The above features have been achieved by offering a number of electives courses both departmental
and open in nature.

I take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to members of the Senate for their valuable
suggestions and critical comments in finalizing the curriculum and Professor Pramod S Mehta, Ex-
Director, NIT Jalandhar for his initiative and direction. It is hoped that the curriculum complied in form
of the booklet will be of immense help to the students and the faculty in smooth running the under
graduate programme in Chemical and Bio Engineering. I thank all the members of curriculum
committee for their help and cooperation rendered in bringing out this booklet in time.

PHILOSOPHY ON DEVELOPMENT OF UNDER GRADUATE (UG) CURRICULUM AT
Dr B R AMBEDKAR NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, JALANDHAR

1. BACKGROUND

 With upgradation of Dr B R Ambedkar REC Jalandhar to Dr B R Ambedkar NIT


Jalandhar (Deemed University) education being imparted at the Institute requires to be
organized around credit-based semester system.
 There has been a sea-change in objectives, approaches and teaching technology in
engineering education during the last couple of years.

This calls for restructuring of existing academic programme

2. OBJECTIVES OF UG-TECHNICAL EDUCATION

 to prepare students for the Technical and analytical skills enabling them to have potential
employment in industry, education, research and management.
 to equip the students with an adequate background of Basic Science, Engineering
Science and Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Management to enable them to play
an effective role of an engineer for benefits of society.

3. SALIENT FEATURES OF CURRICULUM

To realize the above objectives of UG-programmes, curriculum frame work should exhibit the following salient
features:

 Undergraduate-curriculum should be a broad based


 Science based engineering education, which enables students to use basic sciences into
engineering practice/programmes
 Should involve continuous evaluation to avoid rote learning and semester end
examinations
 Curriculum should allow varying weightages to various categories of courses
 Should provide flexibilities in choice of Electives – Departmental and Non-departmental
 A dynamic regulatory and reviewing process is required to ensure that the proposed
curriculum is current.

4. NECESSARY RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure the above enumerated salient features of UG-programmes, the following major recommendations
were given by Curriculum Core Committee, which were taken as Requirements and guidelines for the B.Tech
programme at NIT Jalandhar:

R1 The duration of UG-degree course should be limited to 4 years / 8-semesters each of a


minimum of 70-working days. 16-weeks will ordinarily be the duration of
instructions/semester.

R2 The first two semesters should be common to all branches of engineering

R3 Teaching should be reckoned in terms of contact hours. Norms chosen for contact hours
and credit correspondence are the same as being observed in IITs i.e. 100% weightage
to L and T & 50% weightage to Practical / Lab – contact hours.

R4 Number of credits required to qualify for = 200


B.Tech degree should not exceed

R5 Max / Min number of credits required in any semester = 30/15

R6 Total credits divided between various components of = 3:2


L,T and P-credits have the ratio : L : (T+P)

R7 Max / Min – contact hours for instructions / week = 34/24

R8 Max number of years allowed for completing degree- = 06


requirements

R9 Distribution of credits among various categories of courses

 HSS and Management : 12 Credits


 Basic Science (BS) : 32 Credits
 Engineering Sciences & Arts : 36 Credits
 Professional / Departmental : 106* Credits
 Electives (including Emerging Technology) : 14 Credits

* Departmental credits also include 10-credits for Project and 8-credits for

Industrial Training.

R10 Provision for Non-credit courses (Audit courses) should be made in the last 2-years of
UG-programmes.

R11 The Major Project should be spread over the last 2-semesters – Phase-I and Phase-II
with appropriate distribution of credits (8-12 credits).

R12 Basic Courses should be planned to be taught in large class environment. Tutorial /
practical Group size should not exceed 20.

R13 For Laboratory practice a bank of experiments should be prepared with at least 100%
more than those performed during a semester. Some experiments especially in higher
semesters shouldl be open-ended – be performed without the help of technician.

R14 A number of Elective courses (5-6 electives) should be offered starting from the 4th
semester to make the curriculum flexible and the core subjects be adjusted accordingly.
Numbering scheme for electives should depend on the sequence of semester in which
offered.

R15 Identification of common courses to more than one coherent departments should be
done for ensuring economic use of faculty and infrastructural facilities in the Institute.

R16 Participation by persons from industry should be encouraged in teaching courses,


supervision and evaluation of Industrial Training and Project works.

R17 Students should be required to attend at least 75% of the scheduled L, T and practical
courses*.

* The percentage of attendance calculated up to last day of instructions will reflect into a
Code-number or Letter in the Grade Sheets.

R18 Students must undergo Industrial Training at least for 90-100 days. In addition, they
must participate in NSS, NCC, NSO, Literacy Mission etc. as mandatory requirement to
qualify for B.Tech degree.
NOTE:

The above major recommendations have served as guidelines for all departments offering
UG-programmes for award of B.Tech Degree in NIT Jalandhar. However, marginal variations in above
suggested distribution of credits may be allowed to suit the requirement of the individual programme.
