GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes
during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the class
room.
E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a
pass word to access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information Date of
conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to arrange
meetings with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments preferably should be uploaded on online learning tool. Various research papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.
Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different
approaches have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed
in different ways through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment,
it is measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations.
It is suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or
two outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done
through the student survey which needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is
given below) and it shall be conducted towards the end of course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done by analyzing the inputs
received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions suggested
for further improvement.
Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 40% marks of the highest marks in the
class scored by a student in that subject (in that class/group class) individually in both the
End-Semester examination and Total Marks in order to pass in that paper.

* Passing Criterion for B. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class (EndSemester examination as well as the total marks)
* Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 50% of the highest marks in the class (EndSemester examination as well as the total marks)

Course outcome assessment:

Direct assessment by Class Test, quizzes, assignments, Mid Semester exams
Indirect assessment by feedback by student at the end of the course
