PREFACE

Dear Students,
From the academic year 2014-15 there is a slight
change in the syllabus structure and question paper
pattern. This change is due to the philosophy of
Outcome Based Education and requirement as per the
National Board of Accreditation (NBA), Government of
India, New Delhi.
Sixteen countries including New Zealand,
Australia, Singapore, Russia and India are the
signatories of the Washington Accord, which has come
out with the new process of accreditation. This would
enable every institution, including NIE to attain high
standards of technical education in the respective
countries and to create level playing ground. The
outcome based education is one of the important
components of NBA.
NIE is making sincere efforts in meeting the
global standards through new formats of NBA and
timely World Bank-MHRD initiative TEQIP (Technical
Education Quality Improvement Program). Efforts are
being made to revise the syllabi regularly to meet the
challenges of the current technical education.

BLUEPRINT OF SYLLABUS STRUCTURE AND

QUESTION PAPER PATTERN
(to be effective from the odd semester of the
academic year 2014-15 for all semester students)
Blue Print of Syllabus Structure
1. Complete syllabus is prescribed in SIX units as Unit
1, Unit 2, etc.
2. In each unit there is one topic under the heading
Self Learning Exercises (SLE). These are the
topics to be learnt by the student on their own under
the guidance of the course instructors. Course
instructors will inform the students about the depth to
which SLE components are to be studied. Thus there
will be six topics in the complete syllabus which will
carry questions with a weightage of 10% in SEE only.
No questions will be asked on SLE components in
CIE.
Blue Print of Question Paper
1. Question paper will have SEVEN full questions.
2. One full question each of 15 marks (Question No 1, 2,
3, 4, 5 and 6) will be set from each unit of the
syllabus. Out of these six questions, two questions
will have internal choice from the same unit. The unit
from which choices are to be given is left to the
discretion of the course instructor.
3. Question No 7 will be set for 10 marks only on those
topics prescribed as Self Learning Exercises.
