(a) Educational Qualifications :

A candidate passing any one of the following examinations and securing

60 per cent or more marks in the aggregate of Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics shall be eligible for admission to the first Semester of
Bachelor of Engineering Course provided he/she has passed in each
subject separately;

shall be no direct admission to any level of the Courses above the 1st
Semester.

3. Under each B.E. Degree Course certain subjects are offered which can
be classified as Theory/Practical/Drawing/Design/Project/Practical
Training Further classification is based on the relationship of the
subjects with the degree courses admitted to, namely Humanities S
Social Science/Basic Sciences/Allied Engineering; Departmental, Core,
etc. In addition to the above, a subject could be classified as a
compulsory one or as one of the pre-requisite for another subject. The
committee of Courses and studies ol the concerned Department shall do
this classification.

4. A student who joins the first semester will ! be automatically, deemed

the start of next semester. The student" will also indicate during
registration of subject/subjects of earlier Semester(s) in which he/she
desires to appear, if otherwise eligible. Such a student will be allowed to
appear in the End Semester Examination and his/her marks of mid
terms activities will remain
unaltered since attendance is compulsory, a student will be permitted to
register for course/courses which he can attend. The number of theory
subjects permitted will not be more than five. The total duration of
contact Periods should not ordinarily exceed thirty hours per week.

specified minimum credit for degree the best marks in the minimum
credits (satisfying the above conditions) will be considered for the
purposes of classification of result.

6. EVALUATION AND REVIEW :

The Committee of Courses and studies in each department shall specify

the following for the degree course :
(a) Suggested Scheme of Learning.

(b) Minimum credits needed for the degree course and break up in terms

The E.R.C. has the following functions:

(i) To recommend appointment of paper setters/ examiners of various

examinations at the start of each Semester,

(ii) To get prepared quizzes, assignments, test papers etc. for the mid-
term and the end semester examination and to get them evaluated.
Normally each concerned teacher, who is also a member of E.R.C, will do
this job for his class. However, in exceptional circumstances any part of
the work will be entrusted to some other member of E.R.C.

(iii) The mode of evaluation of the mid-term activities whose weightage

shall be 30% and the end of term examination whose weightage shall be
70% (The mid-term activities will be of one midterm test or 20%
weightage which will be supplemented by assignments, quizzes etc. for a
theory course with weightage of 10%). For a practical Course, 30%
weightage be given for internal evaluation and 70% for End Semester
Examination: At the end of the Semester, the E.R.C. Chairman will send
to the University the consolidated marks for the mid-term activities and
the End semester in separate column for tabulation and for declaration
of result.

(iv) To consider the individual representation of students about

evaluation and take the remedial action if needed. After scrutinizing the
E.R.C. may alter the marks awarded upward/downward. The decision of
the E.R.C. shall be final. The candidate shall apply for the same on a
prescribed proforma along with the evaluation fee prescribed by the
University from time to time only for the End Semester Examination
within seven days from the date of declaration of result.
(v) To moderate the quiz/assignment/test papers given by each
concerned teacher in his class with a view to maintain uniformity of
standards and course coverage amongst various classes and to attain
