time, examination and vacations.

■ It helps for effective coordination.
■ Helps to prepare (both teachers and students) themselves in advance.
■ It helps to facilitate to do modification in future.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT MASTER ROTATION PLAN?
♦ Before making master rotation plan, list down theory and practical
hours prescribed for each subject by INC.
♦ Weeks available per year are 52 weeks.
♦ 1 block = 4 weeks, so divide rotation plan in to 12-13 blocks, i.e. 52
weeks.
♦ Align groups vertically and block horizontally. In graph sheet, divide
large block into groups and blocks.
♦ On horizontal axis, mark 52 weeks and 13 blocks .
♦ Enter summer an winter vacations, examination as prescribed by
INC.
♦ Plan how to divide classes and clinical area, whether in partial block
or complete block. 1 week = 40 hours. i.e. Monday to Friday 7 hours
(7X5 = 35) and Saturday 6 hours. Total = 35+6 = 41 hours.
♦ Accordingly divide into classes and clinical area. Different color and
codes can be used to depict various areas.
♦ Make key indicating areas and hours allotted.

PLANNING OF THE HOURS
■ THEORY HOURS ( Including Study Block & Partial )
■ Study Block [ 12 weeks] = 7 hrs./d X 5d = 35 hrs./w X12 = 420 hrs.
■ Partial Area(Daily classes [20 weeks] ) =3hrs/ X5d = 15hrs/wX20 = 300hrs
■ TOTAL THEORY HOURS = 720 HOURS
■ REQUIRED = 600 HOURS
■ PRACTICAL HOURS ( SPECIALITY & ANP)
■ Full Areas = 13weeks=7hrs/dX5d+6hrs/d(sat)= 41hrs/weeksX13wk=
533hrs
■ Partial block = 20weeks= 4hrs/dX5d= 20hrs/wk X20 week = 400hrs
= 533+400= 933 hrs
■ ANP = 4w (P) = 4hrs/dX5d = 20X4wk = 80hrs
= 3 w (F) = 7hrs/dX6d = 41hrs/wk X3wk = 123hrs [ANP= 203 hrs]
TOTAL PRACTICAL HOURS = 933 hrs
■ RESEARCH & NSG . EDUCATION PRACTICAL HOURS
R (2hrs) & Edu (4hrs) wk = 2weeks = 7hrs/dX5d+6h/d(sat)= 41h/wkX2wks= 82
hrs
Study block (12wks) +P (20wks) = 6h/dX26 sat = 156 hrs
For presentations (Saturday) = 6satX6 hrs= 36 hrs
Total hrs= 274 hrs
Required hours = 250 hrs
■ TOTAL HOURS PLANNED
Exams ( 1st term , 2nd term & send ups ) = 12 days X 5h/d = 60 hrs
Extra co- curricular activities = 1 week = 7h/dX5d + 6h/d (sat) = 35+6 = 41hrs
720hrs+274hrs+933hrs = 1927hrs- 60hrs (E) = 1867
= 1867- (GH) [3 Wks= 7h.dX5d+6h/d (sat) X3 = 123hrs]
= 1867-123= 1744 hrs
= 1744- (ECA) = 1744-41 = 1703
TOTAL HOURS PLANNED = 1703 HOURS
