PREFACE
An important issue generally debated amongst the planners and educators world over is how
technical education can contribute to sustainable development of the societies struggling hard to
come in the same bracket as that of the developed nations. The rapid industrialization and
globalization has created an environment for free flow of information and technology through
fast and efficient means. This has led to shrinking of the world, bringing people from different
culture and environment together and giving rise to the concept of world turning into a global
village. In India, a shift has taken place from the forgettable years of closed economy to
knowledge based and opens economy in the last few decades. In order to cope with the
challenges of handling new technologies, materials and methods, we have to develop human
resources having appropriate professional knowledge, skills and attitude. Technical education
system is one of the significant components of the human resource development and has grown
phenomenally during all these years. Now it is time to consolidate and infuse quality aspect
through developing human resources, in the delivery system. Polytechnics play an important role
in meeting the requirements of trained technical manpower for industries and field organizations.
The initiatives are being taken by the State Board of Technical Education, UP to revise the
existing curricula as per the needs of the industry and make NSQF compliant.
In order to meet the requirements of future technical manpower, we will have to revamp our
existing technical education system and one of the most important requirements is to develop
outcome-based curricula of diploma programmes. The curricula for diploma programmes have been
revised by adopting time-tested and nationally acclaimed scientific method, laying emphasis on the
identification of learning outcomes of diploma programme.
The real success of the diploma programme depends upon its effective implementation. However
best the curriculum document is designed, if that is not implemented properly, the output will not be
as expected. In addition to acquisition of appropriate physical resources, the availability of
motivated, competent and qualified faculty is essential for effective implementation of the
curricula.
It is expected of the polytechnics to carry out job market research on a continuous basis to identify
the new skill requirements, reduce or remove outdated and redundant courses, develop innovative
methods of course offering and thereby infuse the much-needed dynamism in the system.

10. EVALUATION STRATEGY INTRODUCTION
Evaluation plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. The major objective of any
teaching-learning endeavour is to ensure the quality of the product which can be assessed
through learner’s evaluation.
The purpose of student evaluation is to determine the extent to which the general and the
specific objectives of curriculum have been achieved. Student evaluation is also important
from the point of view of ascertaining the quality of instructional processes and to get feedback
for curriculum improvement. It helps the teachers in determining the level of appropriateness
of teaching experiences provided to learners to meet their individual and professional needs.
Evaluation also helps in diagnosing learning difficulties of the students. Evaluation is of two
types: Formative and Summative (Internal and External Evaluation)
Formative Evaluation
Summative Evaluation
It is carried out at the end of a unit of instruction like topic, subject, semester or year. The main
purpose of summative evaluation is to measure achievement for assigning course grades,
certification of students and ascertaining accountability of instructional process. The student
evaluation has to be done in a comprehensive and systematic manner since any mistake or
lacuna is likely to affect the future of students. In the present educational scenario in India,
where summative evaluation plays an important role in educational process, there is a need to
improve the standard of summative evaluation with a view to bring validity and reliability in
the end-term examination system for achieving objectivity and efficiency in evaluation.

tests, home-assignments, tutorial-work, seminars, and group discussions etc. For end-term
evaluation of theory, the question paper may comprise of three sections.
Section-I
It should contain objective type items e.g. multiple choice, matching and completion type.
Total weightage to Section-1 should be of the order of 20 percent of the total marks and no
choice should be given in this section. The objective type items should be used to evaluate
students’ performance in knowledge, comprehension and at the most application domains only.
Section-II
It should contain short answer/completion items. The weightage to this section should be of the
order of 40 percent of the total marks. Again, no choice should be given in section-II
Section-III
It may contain two to three essay type questions. Total weightage to this section should be of
the order of 40 percent of the total marks. Some built-in, internal choice of about 5
B. Practical Work
The purpose of evaluation of project work is to assess students’ ability to apply, in an integrated
manner, learnt knowledge and skills in solving real life problems, manipulative skills, ability to
observe, record, creativity and communication skills. The formative and summative evaluation
72
may comprise of weightage to nature of project, quality of product, quality of report and
quality of presentation followed by viva-voc.

11. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF
CURRICULUM
This curriculum document is a Plan of Action and has been prepared based on exhaustive
exercise of curriculum planning and design. The representative sample comprising selected
senior personnel (lecturers and HODs) from various institutions and experts from industry/field
have been involved in curriculum design process.
The document so prepared is now ready for its implementation. It is the faculty of polytechnics
who have to play a vital role in planning instructional experiences for the courses in four
different environments viz. class-room, laboratory, library and field and execute them in right
perspective. It is emphasized that a proper mix of different teaching methods in all these places
of instruction only can bring the changes in stipulated student’s behavior as in the curriculum
document. It is important for the teachers to understand curriculum document holistically and
further be aware of intricacies of teaching-learning process (T-L) for achieving curriculum
objectives. Given below are certain suggestions which may help the teachers in planning and
designing learning experiences effectively. These are indicative in nature and teachers using
their creativity can further develop/refine them. The designers of the programme suggest every
teacher to read them carefully, comprehend and start using them.
2. An academic plan needs to be prepared and made available to all polytechnics well in
advance. The principals have a great role to play in its dissemination and, percolation up to
grass-root level. Polytechnics, in turn are supposed to prepare institutional academic plan.
3. HOD of every Programme Department along with HODs and in-charge of other departments
are required to prepare academic plan at department level referring to institutional academic
plan.
4. All lecturers/Senior lecturers are required to prepare course level and class level lesson plans
referring departmental academic plan.
74
Teachers are educational managers at class room level and their success in achieving course
level objectives lies in using course plan and their judicious execution which is very important
for the success of programme by achieving its objectives.
Polytechnic teachers are required to plan various instructional experiences viz. theory lecture,
expert lectures, lab/workshop practical, guided library exercises, field visits, study tours, camps
etc. In addition, they have to carry out progressive assessment of theory, assignments, library,
practical and field experiences. Teachers are also required to do all these activities within a
stipulated period of time. It is essential for them to use the given time judiciously by planning
all above activities properly and ensure execution of the plan effectively.
Following is the gist of suggestions for subject teachers to carry out T-L process effectively:
1. Teachers are required to prepare a course plan, taking into account departmental academic
plan, number of weeks available and courses to be taught.
2. Teachers are required to prepare lesson plan for every theory class. This plan may comprise
of contents to be covered, learning material for execution of a lesson plan. They may follow
steps for preparing lesson plan e.g. drawing attention, state instructional objectives, help in
recalling pre-requisite knowledge, deliver planned subject content, check desired learning
outcomes and reinforce learning etc.
3. Teachers are required to plan for expert lectures from field/industry. Necessary steps are to
plan in advance, identify field experts, make correspondence to invite them, take necessary
budgetary approval etc.
4. Teachers are required to plan for guided library exercises by identification of course specific
experience requirement, setting time, assessment, etc. The assignments and seminars can be
thought of as terminal outcome of library experiences.
5. Concept and content-based field visits may be planned and executed for such content of
course which is abstract in nature and no other requisite resources are readily available in
institute to impart them effectively.
6. There is a dire need for planning practical experiences in right perspective. These slots in a
course are the avenues to use problem-based learning/activity learning/ experiential learning
approach effectively. The development of lab instruction sheets for the course is a good
beginning to provide lab experiences effectively.
The student-centered activities may be used to develop generic skills like task management,
problem solving, managing self, collaborating with others etc.
75
9. Where ever possible, it is essential to use activity-based learning rather than relying on
delivery based conventional teaching all the time.
10. Teachers may take initiative in establishing liaison with industries and field organizations
for imparting field experiences to their students.
11. Students be made aware about issues related to ecology and environment, safety, concern
for wastage of energy and other resources etc.
12. Students may be given relevant and well thought out project assignments, which are
purposeful and develop practical skills. This will help students in developing creativity and
confidence for their gainful employment.
13. A Project bank may be developed by the concerned department of the polytechnics in
consultation with related Industry, research institutes and other relevant field organizations in
the state.
