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 LMS: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a password to access
the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information Date of conducting class tests,
guest lectures, via LMS. 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 LMS.
Various research papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on LMS 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 30%/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 30% and 40% of the highest marks in the
class applicable to the students admitted before July 2015 and onwards July 2015
respectively.

Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class
