extension of thesis preliminary work. Towards the end of the semester there would be a pre –

submission seminar to assess quality and quantum of the work by the Evaluation committee.



This would be the pre-qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval from the

department Committee for the submission of Thesis. At least one technical paper to be

prepared for possible publication in Journals/Conferences. The final evaluation of the Thesis

would be and external evaluation .The 12 credits allotted may be proportionally distributed

between external and internal evaluation as follows. As far as possible, the student shall be

encouraged to do their work in the parent institute itself.

Weightages for the 12 credits/600 marks allotted for the Thesis

(i) Internal evaluation of the thesis work by the guide-4 credits –(200 marks)

(ii) Internal evaluation of the thesis work by the Evaluation committee-4 credits–(200

marks)

(iii) Final Evaluation of the thesis work by the Internal and External Examiners-

(Evaluation of Thesis: 100 marks +Viva Voce: 100 marks)- 4 credits–(200 marks)

Facility for students to do thesis outside the parent Institute:

As far as possible the students shall be encouraged to do their thesis in the parent institute

itself. However, if found essential, they may be permitted for continuing their Thesis in 4 th

semester outside the parent institute with the approval of the department committee. For

students who are availing this facility, the following conditions are to be observed.

1. The student has to get their prior approval from the Department Committee for availing

this facility as well as choice of the Institution / Industry /R&D organization with which

the student is associated for continuing his/her thesis work.

2. If they are doing their thesis work in an Educational Institute, then the Institute is to be

preferably an institution of national repute such as IITs, IISc,etc.

3. The students availing this facility should continue as regular students of the parent

institute itself.

4. They should have a guide each in the parent institution and the external Institution /

Industry /R&D organization in which the student associated for doing the thesis work.

5. The student also has to furnish a certificate from the guide of the organization concerned

stating the willingness to supervise the thesis work through the Institution / Industry

/R&D organization with which the student associated for doing his/her thesis work and

has to submit the same to the Department Committee.



6. The student has to furnish his/her monthly progress as well as attendance report signed by

the external guide and submit the same to the concerned internal guide.

7. The external guide and internal guide are to be preferably present during all the stages of

evaluation of the thesis work. In case the external guide is not present, the internal guide

alone take the responsibility of conducting the evaluation.

5.Evaluation Process:

In the first semester, second semester and the third semester, all the subjects to be credited

are evaluated through internal assessment and examinations. The written examination for the

first semester is conducted by the university. The written examination for the second and the

third semesters would be through internal examination. The answer scripts of the internal

examination in the second and third semester shall also to be valued by two examiners: the

first examiner being the staff member handling the subject and a second examiner specialized

in the area of the subject.

The seminars, project, Industrial Training/Interaction programme etc. will be evaluated by

the Evaluation Committee. The laboratory work will be evaluated by the staff member/(s)

concerned.

In the third semester, Thesis –Preliminary will be evaluated by the Evaluation committee.

The internal evaluation of the Thesis in the IV semester, would be done by the evaluation

committee. Final evaluation of the Thesis would be conducted by the guide and an expert

from the Institute appointed by the University.

The University evaluation of thesis work and viva voce examination will be taken up only

after the student complete all core, elective as well as other course requirements

satisfactorily.

5.1 Weightage of marks

The following will be the weightage of marks for different subjects

a. Theory subjects

Continuous assessment -50 marks

University/Internal examination -100 marks

(For continuous evaluation , minimum 4 assignments and 2 tests shall be considered.

The marks shall be distributed as follows: Attendance 20%, Assignment-30% and

tests-50%)



b. Laboratory based subjects

Continuous assessment -50 marks

5.2 Grade and Grade Points

A student is awarded a letter grade in each course he/she has registered for, indicating his/her

overall performance in that course. There are eight letter grades S, A, B, C, D, E, F, I. The

correspondence between grades and points (on a 10-point scale) rating is given in Table 3.

If a student does not satisfy all the requirements for a course during the second/or third

semester for a genuine reason, the teacher concerned may award grade I (incomplete).The

student will be given a chance to satisfy the requirements within a stipulated date as decided

by the Department committee. Once the student satisfies this within the time, the I grade will

be converted by the department committee to a regular letter grade. If the student fails to

satisfy the requirements within this extra time allotted then, I grade automatically converted

to an F grade.

5.3 Substitution of courses:

A student getting an F or E grade in a course must either reappear for the subsequent chance

of the examination or substitute the course with another course as suggested by the

Department committee. The student is allowed for substitution only if the course concerned

is not a core course. A student is not allowed to register for more than one semester at a time.

Hence substitution is allowed only after completing the regular course work.

5.4 Classification of Grades based on Marks scored:

The grades are allotted based on the percentage of total marks (Continuous evaluation and

written examination put together) scored by the student in each subject. Appropriate grades

in that subject is then allotted based on the classification given in Table3.In case a student

has taken more than two chances in passing a subject only minimum pass grade D will be

allotted in that subject irrespective of the actual marks scored.

Table 3: Classification of Grades based on percentage of Marks

Sl No Percentage of marks Grades allotted Grade points1. 90% and above S 102. 80% or above but less than 90% A 93. 70% or above but less than 80% B 84. 60% or above but less than 70% C 75. 50% or above but less than 60% D 66. 40% or above but less than 50% E 47. Less than 40% F 0



8. I Incomplete

5.5 Computation of SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and CGPA (Cumulative

Grade Point Average)

The SGPA is an overall academic performance of a student in all the courses he/she has

registered during a given semester. It is computed as follows: If a student is awardedG1,G2 etc.

grades in courses with corresponding credit units U1,U2 etc the SGPA is given by

SGPA= (U1*G1 +U2*G2 +….)/(U1+U2…….)

Similarly the CGPA indicates the cumulative academic performance in all the courses taken

including the current semester.

CGPA for ith semester = Σ (SGPA)i × S i/ Σ Si

Where (SGPA)i =SGPA in the ith semester

and Si =total credits in the ith semester

5.6 Academic performance requirement

The minimum CGPA requirement for the M.Tech Programme is 6.0 in every semester with the

following provisions. If a student scores CGPA below 6 in any semester he/she may be

allowed to continue in the Programme only on the recommendation of the Academic

Committee. A student is given only three chances to reappear for the examination in the

subject in which he has failed (scoring E or F Grade) within a period of 5 years from the time

of his /her registration to the M.Tech course, provided the student has obtained minimum

attendance requirement.

5.7 Class Distinction

Minimum pass requirement for each written paper is 50%. A student is eligible for the degree

on completion of 69 credits obtaining at least D in each subject and a CGPA of at least 6.0.A

student is placed in first class with distinction if he/she has CGPA≥9. He/She is placed in First

Class if his/her CGPA is 7≥and <9.

5.8 Attendance requirements:

A student should have a minimum 75% attendance in all the semesters, Medical leave is

granted only twice during the entire duration of the M.Tech (two years) and the student

becomes eligible to avail the medical leave only if he/she has a minimum of 60% attendance.



The percentage of attendance for a subject will be indicated by a code number/letter as given in

Table 4 and will be included in the grade card:

Table 4: Attendance code

6. Structure of syllabus and Question Paper:

The syllabus would be of non-modular strucrure.The question paper shall cover entire

syllabus and contain 20% choice.

7. Time limit for completion of Coursework:

The student who has registered for M.Tech course has to complete all the requirements for

awarding the degree within 5 years from the date of admission to the course.


Sl No Attendance Rounded to Code

1. 95% and above S

2. 85% and above but less than 95% 9
