(iii) his/her conduct has been satisfactory

6. Assessment and Passing Requirements

(i) Assessment: The assessment will comprise continuous assessment and final examination, carrying marks
as specified in the scheme (clause 10). Continuous assessment will be made as per the guidelines framed
by the College from time to time. All assessments will be done on absolute marks basis. However, for the
purpose of reporting the performance of a candidate, letter grades and grade points will be awarded as per
clause 6(v).

(ii) Final Examinations: Final examinations will normally be conducted during November / December and
during April / May of each year. Supplementary examinations may be conducted at such times as may be
decided by the College.
A candidate will be permitted to appear for the final examination of a semester only if he/she has
completed the study of that semester satisfying the requirements given in clause 5 and registers
simultaneously for the examinations of the highest semester eligible and all the courses which he/she be in
arrears of.
A candidate, who is not permitted to appear at the final examination of a semester, is not permitted to
proceed to the next semester. A candidate who is not permitted to appear at the final examination of any
semester has to register for and redo the courses of that semester at the next available opportunity.

(iii) Rejoining the Programme: A candidate who has not completed the study of any semester as per clause 5
or who is allowed to rejoin the programme after a period of discontinuance or who on his/her own request
is permitted to repeat the study of any semester, may join the semester which he/she is eligible or permitted
to join, only at the time of its normal commencement for a regular batch of candidates and after obtaining
the approval from the Anna University if required. No candidate will however be enrolled in more than
one semester at any point of time. In the case of repeaters, the earlier continuous assessment in the
repeated courses will be disregarded.

(iv) Industrial Training, Mini-project and Project Work:

Every candidate shall submit reports on Industrial training / Mini-project, Project Work (Phase I) and
Project Work (Phase II) on dates announced by the college / department through the faculty guide to the
Head of the Department. If a candidate fails to submit the reports of any of these courses not later than the
specified date, he/she is deemed to have failed in it. Every candidate shall present seminars in each of the
relevant semesters about the Industrial training / Mini-project, Project Work (Phase I) and Project Work
(Phase II). The seminars shall be presented before a review committee constituted by the Head of the
Department. The Industrial training / Mini-project, Project Work (Phase I) and Project Work (Phase II) will
be evaluated based on the seminars, reports and viva-voce examinations. In case of the industrial training
for the full-time candidates, evaluation will be carried out in the third semester and the results of the same
will be included along with the other courses of that semester.

In case of Project Work (Phase II), the viva-voce examination will be carried out by a team consisting of
an internal examiner, usually the supervisor, and an external examiner, appointed by the Principal. Due
weightage will be given to the publications arising out of the Project Work, during the evaluation of the
Project Work (Phase II).

5
 A candidate is permitted to register for the Project Work (Phase II), only after passing the Project Work
(Phase I).

A candidate who fails in Industrial training / Mini-project, Project Work (Phase I) or Project Work (Phase
II) shall register for redoing the same at the beginning of a subsequent semester.

(v) Letter grade and grade point: The letter grade and the grade point are awarded based on percentage of
total marks secured by a candidate in an individual course as detailed below:

Range of Percentage of Letter Grade Point

Total Marks grade (g)
90 to 100 S 10
80 to 89 A 9
70 to 79 B 8
60 to 69 C 7
55 to 59 D 6
50 to 54 E 5
0 to 49 or less than 50% in
F 0
final examination
Incomplete I 0
Withdrawal W 0

“F” denotes failure in the course.

“I” denotes incomplete as per clause 5 and hence prevented from writing final examination.
“W” denotes withdrawal from the examination.

After completion of the programme earning the minimum number of credits, the Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA) from the semester in which the candidate has joined first to the final semester is calculated
using the formula:

CGPA =
∑ g i * Ci
∑ Ci

where g i : Grade point secured corresponding to the course

Ci : Credits allotted to the course.

(vi) Passing a Course: A candidate who secures grade point 5 or more in any course of study will be declared
to have passed that course, provided a minimum of 50% is secured in the final examination of that course
of study.

A candidate, who is absent for the final examination or withdraws from final examination or secures a
letter grade F (Grade point 0) in any course carrying continuous assessment and final examination marks,
will retain the already earned continuous assessment marks for two subsequent appearances in the
examination of that course and thereafter he/she will be solely assessed by the final examination carrying
the entire marks of that course.

A candidate, who scores a letter grade F (Grade point 0) in any course carrying only continuous assessment
marks, will be solely examined by a final examination carrying the entire marks of that course, the
continuous assessment marks obtained earlier being disregarded.

6
 A candidate who is absent in the final semester examination of a course after registering for the same will
be considered to have appeared and failed in that examination and awarded grade F.

7. Qualifying for the Award of the Degree

A candidate will be declared to have qualified for the award of the M.E. / M.Tech. degree provided:

(i) he/she has successfully completed the course requirements and has passed all the prescribed courses of

9 (b) CLASS COMMITTEE
(i) A Class Committee consists of teachers of the concerned class, student representatives and a
chairperson who is not teaching the class. It is like the ‘Quality Circle’ (more commonly used in
industries) with the overall goal of improving the teaching-learning process. The functions of the
class committee include

• Solving problems experienced by students in the class room and in the laboratories

• Clarifying the regulations of the programme and the details of rules therein

• Informing the student representatives the academic schedule including the dates of assessments
and the syllabus coverage for each assessment
• Informing the student representatives the details of regulations regarding the weightage used for
each assessment. In the case of practical courses (laboratory / project work / seminar etc.) the
breakup of marks for each experiment/ exercise/ module of work, should be clearly discussed in
the class committee meeting and informed to the students.

• Analyzing the performance of the students of the class after each test and finding the ways and
means of solving problems, if any

• Identifying the weak students, if any and requesting the teachers concerned to provide some
additional help or guidance or coaching to such weak students.

(ii) The class committee for a class under a particular specialization normally constituted by the Head of
the Department. However, if the students of different specializations are mixed in a class, the class
committee is to be constituted by the Head of the Institution.

(iii) The class committee shall be constituted on the first working day of any semester or earlier.

(iv) At least 2 student representatives (usually 1 boy and 1 girl) shall be included in the class committee.

department to the meeting of the class committee

(vi) The Head of the Institution may participate in any class committee of the institution.

(vii) The chairperson is required to prepare the minutes of every meeting, submit the same to the Head of
the Institution within two days of the meeting and arrange to circulate among the concerned students
and teachers. If there are some points in the minutes requiring action by the management, the same
shall be brought to the notice of the management by the head of the institution.

(viii) The first meeting of the class committee shall be held within one week from the date of
commencement of the semester in order to inform the students about the nature and weightage of
assessments within the framework of the Regulations. Two or three subsequent meetings may be
held at suitable intervals. During these meetings the student members, representing the entire class,
shall meaningfully interact and express the opinions and suggestions of the class students to
improve the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process.

9 (c) COURSE COMMITTEE

Each common theory course offered to more than one group of students shall have a “Course Committee”
comprising all the teachers teaching the common course with one of them nominated as Course Coordinator.
The nomination of the course Coordinator shall be made by the Head of the Department / Head of the
Institution depending upon whether all the teachers teaching the common course belong to a single

8
 department or to several departments. The ‘Course committee’ shall meet as often as possible and ensure
uniform evaluation of the tests and arrive at a common scheme of evaluation for the tests. Wherever it is
feasible, the course committee may also prepare a common question paper for the test(s).
