i. a common core extending over the first year, comprising of two semesters and a term
ii. a specialization course extending over the next six semesters and three terms, including a period
for industrial placement and
iii. any other work; camp or training course modules of projects that may be specified for a given field
of specialization.
Credits
Each module is assigned a credit value representing the student's workload. For a typical module extending
over one semester, one credit is given for each hour of academic lectures per week or three hours of
tutorials/laboratory/field work or design work per week. The industrial placement is of 24 weeks duration
and will be assigned credits (06), while design projects and other specified course works and camps have
been assigned credit hours commensurate with the respective workloads
The modules offered in a given semester or term and the number of credits assigned to each module will be
determined by the Faculty and students will be duly informed ahead of the commencement of that semester
or term.
Modules
Core Modules
The First Year program totals 30 credits, and is made up of 17 modules to be taken over two semesters
followed by a term. This information is available in the curriculum section.
Specialization Modules
The fields of specialization also have compulsory subjects and optional or elective subjects. These subjects
are normally intended to be taken over six (06) semesters and three (03) terms. Some of the subjects have
pre-requisites that should be completed prior to registering for it.
Academic Load and Level of Study
The academic load of a student in a semester differs depending on the department to which the student
belongs, but in general this could vary between 10 to 30 credits. Students are required to register for course
modules to satisfy normal academic load specified by the respective department in any semester. A student
with the consent of the relevant Academic Adviser may be permitted to lake a maximum of six credits
12
above or below the normal semester academic load. The additional modules may include previously taken
modules repeated for purposes of passing or upgrade of final grade.
The academic progress of a student may determine by the total number of credits a student has earned by
the end of preceding semester or term as given below:
Total Credits Level

Level 1
Over 30 Level 2
Over 70 Level 3
Over 110 Level 4
Leave of Absence
A student may be allowed to submit a leave of absence from the course for a maximum duration of twelve
months, by submitting an application to the Senate on the recommendations received from the student's
Academic Advisor and the Faculty.
Evaluation of Performance
The performance of each student in each module will be evaluated by continuous assessment and an end-of-
semester examination. The Senate on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering will approve the
examiner/(s) and assign a moderator for each module conducted in a semester. The continuous assessment
component in a module normally carries a weightage not less than 30% (20% in Level 1) and not more than
60% of the total marks, except in training placement, camps, research projects and other similar modules.
The continuous assessment of a student may be based on a specified combination including laboratory
work, tutorials, quizzes, presentations, mid term examinations, term papers and assignments. Weightage of
each of the above components used in the determination of the final grade for each course module should be
clearly conveyed in writing to the students by the examiner at the commencement of each module along
with the outline of the course module.
All Candidates should obtain at least 40% of the Continuous Assessment marks at all Levels to qualify to sit
the End of Semester Examination.
A minimum requirement of 20% should be obtained from the written component of the end of Semester
Examination in order to obtain a Grade of D or above for a course module.
A Repeat Candidate who has an "I" Grade will be given a Grade based on the marks obtained at the End of
Semester Examination given out of 100, subject to a maximum of a "C" Grade, irrespective of the
Continuous Assessment marks obtained previously.
The highest grade obtainable at a repeat attempt is the grade C except when an Academic Concession has
been granted.
A Board of Examiners, appointed by the Council, comprising examiners and moderators of all the modules
relevant to a particular level of course and/or a field of specialization, will meet at the end of each semester
to decide on the performance and the academic standing of each student registered for that level of course
or program of specialization.
13
Grading System
Letter grades based on the Grade point system and corresponding description, as illustrated in the Table
below will be used to express the performance at each module.
Grade Grade Point Description

A+ 4.2
A 4.0 Excellent
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0 Good
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3
C 2.0 Pass
C- 1.5 Weak Pass
D 1.0 Conditional Pass(a)
I 0.0 Incomplete(b)
F 0.0 Fail(c)
P — Pass
N — Academic Concession(d)
(a) Grade D or above is required to earn credit for a module, except for EN 399 – Industrial Training where grade C is
required to earn credits.
(b) A student satisfying continuous assessment requirements and failing the end-of-semester examination receives an
incomplete grade I. By repeating only the end-of-semester examination, the grades I, D or C- can be improved up to a C
grade and considered for calculating Semester Grade Point Average.
(c) A student receiving an F grade must repeat both the continuous assessment and the end-of-semester components. The
maximum grade awarded for repeating a course module will he a C and it wilt be used for calculating Semester Grade
Point Average.
(d) Grade N signifies Academic Concession grunted with the approval of the Faculty, in the event a student is unable to sit for
the end-of-semester examination due to illness or other compelling reason. In such instances the student must notify the
registrar within 48 hours of the cause. Further, the student should make an appeal with supporting documents to the Dean
for an Academic concession within one week from the date of the examination. The continuous assessment component can
be curried forward to the next examination as the first attempt. The grade is not counted in the calculation of the Semester
Grade Point Average.
Only the grade achieved for each module will be entered on the student's permanent record. The grade at
the first attempt or the improved grade earned at a subsequent attempt, if any, will be recorded
Semester Grade Point Average
The calculation of the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be based on the summation of Grade
Points earned for all modules registered for credit (except those awarded with academic concession) in a
semester weighted according to number of credits (see the formula below). The Grade Point Average is
rounded to the nearest second decimal place. The Semester Grade Point Average is reported on transcripts
and Statement of Results that may be issued for each semester.
SGPA
¦n u g i i
¦n i
Where ni is the number of credits for the ith module in a given semester and gi is the grade points earned for
that module.
14
Unsatisfactory Standing and Academic Probation
If the student's Semester Grade Point Average falls between 1.99 and 150 the student will be placed on
Academic Warning. Any student with a Semester Grade Point Average less than 1.50 will be place on
Academic Probation. Academic Probation and/or Academic Warning may be withdrawn when the relevant
Semester Grade Point Average is upgraded to 2.00 or more. A student on Academic Warning or Academic
Probation will not be allowed to carry any additional academic load. A student who falls into one of the
following categories due to failure to upgrade the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will not be
permitted to register for a new module until the SGPA improves as required.
i. SGPA < 1.50 in any two semesters

ii. SGPA< 1.50 in any semester and 1.50 SGPA < 2.00 in any two semesters.
iii. 1.50 SGPA < 2.00 in any three semesters.
Current Grade Point Average
The Current Grade Point Average (CGPA) describes a student's current standing in terms of all modules
registered for credits up to given point of time weighted according to the grades assigned to each module
and the level of the module. The weight for each level will be uniform except for I.evel 1 where it will be
considered as equivalent to two third (2/3rd) of the weight for other levels.
Overall Grade Point Average
The Overall Grade Point Average (OGPA) is final standing of the student calculated on the basis of CGPA.
Non-GPA Modules
The requirement for graduation is 150 credits. Of this requirement, 15 credits should be earned through
modules that arc designated as Non-GPA modules The grades earned at these modules will not be taken for
the purpose of calculating the Semester GPA, Overall GPA or in the award of Classes.
Award of Minors
In some programs of specialization, the Faculty will specify a group of subjects, the successful completion
of which will make them eligible to be awarded a minor within that field of specialization
Classes
Awarding of Classes is determined at the completion of all the graduation requirements within five
academic years. Overall Grade Point Average as indicated below will be used for awarding of Classes
Overall GPA Academic Standing

3.70 or Above First Class
3.30 - 3.69 Second Class- Division Upper
2.70 - 3.29 Second Class -Lower Division
