by students should be sent to the Controller of Examinations, SVCE one month before
the commencement of Summative Examinations.

4.9 Credit transfer

4.9.1 Students are permitted to transfer the credits earned from other institutions and/or through
SWAYAM MOOC.
4.9.2 Students are permitted to transfer the credits through the collaborative activities as given
in the CHAPTER III (Student Exchange Programme, Twinning Programme, Joint
Degree Programme & Dual Degree Programme) of AICTE Approval Process Handbook
2024 – 2027 (pp. 33 – 36). The modalities for these programs are as follows:
1. A student can earn a maximum credit which is equal to the sum of credits
allotted for professional and Open electives in their curriculum. In addition,
student can transfer the credits earned from the other Indian/ foreign universities

Page 8 of 40
 which is equivalent to the Professional core courses offered in their curriculum
via credit transfer.
2. Eligible Institutions are identified by the Programme Consultative Committee
(PCC) of the department as per the guidelines given by AICTE and UGC.
3. Eligibility criteria for the students joining the Student Exchange Programme
will be based on the guidelines laid down by the collaborative Indian/ foreign
universities.
4. There will not be any examinations conducted by SVCE to approve the credits
earned from other Indian/ foreign universities under the Student Exchange
Programme.
5. PCC will decide on the letter grades (S, A+, A, B+, B, C, C+, U) to be awarded
for the course based on the performance metric given by the collaborating
Indian/ foreign universities.
6. The students registering for Student Exchange Programme should bear all the
costs associated with the scheme. SVCE will not be liable to bear any of the cost
associated with the Student Exchange Programme.
7. Enrolling for the Student Exchange Programme by the student is optional.

4.9.3 The approved list of courses will be provided by the Program Consultative Committee
(PCC) from time to time. The student needs to obtain certification or credit to become
eligible for transferring the credit to any of the equivalent courses in the curriculum.

4.9.4 Students are also permitted to replace only one professional elective after earning three
credits by engaging 90 hours of experiential learning in any reputed industry or research
organisations. The students who identified any problems in a rural area could provide an
engineering solution to the same with a detailed project report. In that case also, the
student would be permitted to replace one professional elective.
Program consultative committee should identify the list of such reputed
Industry/research organization related to their program and the students should do the
experiential learning only in those industry/research organizations. Program
consultative committee should ensure that experiential learning happened while
providing the engineering solution to the rural problems.

Page 9 of 40
 Learning will be assessed by the Program consultative committee and allocate the letter
grade. Students can replace only after successful completion of the learning. Program
consultative committee should devise a methodology for the assessment and the same
should be informed to the students concerned well in advance.

4.9.5 The PCC will decide the methodology to allocate the letter grade to each student based
on their performance in the course. The details regarding credit transfer taken up by
students should be sent to the Controller of Examinations, SVCE one month before the
commencement of Summative Examinations.

8. PROCEDURE FOR AWARDING MARKS FOR FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

 For all theory courses, the Formative assessment shall be for a maximum of 40 marks.
 For all theory courses with laboratory component, the Formative assessment shall be for
a maximum of 50 marks.
 For all practical courses, the Formative assessment shall be for a maximum of 60 marks.
 For project work, the Formative assessment shall be for a maximum of 40 marks.

The above Formative assessments shall be awarded as per the procedure given below:

8.1 Theory Courses

The award of marks for formative assessment shall be based on three formative
assessments, with equal weightage, during the semester. However, for the courses studied
under Honours and Minor scheme, award of marks for formative assessment shall be
based on two Formative assessments, with equal weightage, during the semester. Each
formative assessment should contain the following:
1. Written test for 90 minutes and will be conducted for maximum of 50 marks,
carrying 70% weightage except drawing courses. For drawing courses, the
weightage is 60%

2. Activity based assessments: - Assignment/tutorial/seminar/mini project/ Quiz/

Class room activity / MCQ etc. The total marks for all these activities should be
50 and it carries the 30% weightage except drawing courses. For drawing courses,
the weightage is 40%

8.1.1 The marks obtained in written test and activity-based assignments will be added with the
weightage of 70% and 30%, respectively. This mark is out of 50 and known as FA
(Formative Assessment) mark of a particular course.

Page 19 of 40
8.1.2 There will be three formative assessments. Hence Each student will have three marks
FA1, FA2 and FA3 for a particular course. Total of all these three FAs would be scaled
down to 40. The mark so obtained would be rounded to nearest integer. This is the FA
mark of a particular student in a particular subject. (This implies equal weightage to all
the three formative assessments). The final FA will be out of 40.

8.2 Theory Courses with laboratory component

The award of marks for formative assessment shall be based on three Formative
assessments during the semester. Formative assessments for theory should contain the
following:
1. Written test for 90 minutes and will be conducted for maximum of 50 marks,
carrying 70% weightage.

2. Activity based assessments: - Assignment/tutorial/seminar/mini project/ Quiz/

Class room activity / MCQ etc. The total marks for all these activities should be
50 and it carries the 30% weightage

8.2.1 Formative assessments for practical should contain the following:

1. Practical test for 90 minutes and will be conducted for maximum of 50 marks,
carrying 70% weightage.
2. Record and observation of all the lab experiments would be evaluated for a
maximum of 50 Marks and it carries the 30% weightage.

8.2.2 The marks obtained in written test/practical test and activity-based assignments/record
and observation marks will be added with the weightage of 70% and 30%, respectively.
This mark is out of 50 and known as FA (Formative Assessment) mark of a particular
course.

8.2.3 There will be three formative assessments. Hence Each student will have three marks
FA1, FA2 and FA3 for a particular course. Total of all these three FAs would be scaled
down to 50. The mark so obtained would be rounded to nearest integer. This is the FA
mark of a particular student in a particular subject. (This implies equal weightage to all
the three formative assessments). The final FA will be out of 50. Please refer section 9.1
for the scheme of evaluation.

Page 20 of 40
8.3 Practical Courses

8.3.1 The maximum marks for formative assessment shall be 60% in case of practical courses.
Every practical exercise / experiment shall be evaluated based on conduct of experiment
/ exercise, observations / records maintained and viva-voce. There shall be at least one
model test.
8.3.2 The criteria for arriving at the Internal Assessment marks of 60 is as follows:
Maximum of 40 marks shall be awarded for successful completion of all the prescribed
exercises / experiments done in the Laboratory and a model test will be conducted and the
mark will be scaled down to 20. The total mark, rounded to the nearest integer, shall be
out of 60.

8.4 Absence in Formative assessments

If a student would not be in a position to complete any one of the FA as per the schedule,
due to sports/medical reasons or any other personal reasons, he/she should get the
