PREFACE
Knowledge and skills are becoming the critical determinants of a country’s economic growth and standard
of living, as learning outcomes are transformed into goods and services. Hence, the central aim of the
post-2015 global education agenda should be a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. Realizing the
importance of the learning outcomes and skill development for national economic prosperity, the
Government of India has reoriented its educational policies focus towards “Skill India” mission.
The National Skill Development Mission, launched on the first ever World Youth Skills Day (July 15,
2015), unveiled the new National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship 2015. The launch
of the mission assumes significance as India currently faces a severe shortage of well-trained, skilled
manpower. It is estimated that only 2.3% of the workforce in India has undergone formal skill training as
compared to 68% in the UK, 75% in Germany, 52% in USA, 80% in Japan and 96% in South Korea.
Thus, it is quite evident that large sections of the educated workforce in India have little or no job skills,
making them largely unemployable, making them a burden on the society. This is a cause of concern for
the educational policy makers and leaders. It is expected that higher education institutions across India
develop curriculum models that would accommodate the twenty-first century skill needs of the country to
improve employability.
Keeping this avowed objective in mind, Vignan’s university has taken a proactive step, in a mission mode,
to revise its curriculum in order to accommodate the future skill needs of the youth and to make them
work-ready. A curriculum model was designed as a result of brainstorming sessions carried out with
cross sections of higher education stake holders, current and past students, employers, government
authorities and overseas educational partners. It was aimed to be:
• futuristic: addressing the skill needs of twenty-first century learners,
• learner centric: accommodating learning needs of a spectrum of students with different learning
capabilities and needs,
• outcome based: defining learning outcomes at three levels (topic, subject and program) with
well defined activities,
• holistic treatise of knowledge and skills: explicit division of knowledge and skills; design of
teaching, learning and evaluation processes to facilitate acquisition of relevant knowledge and
skills identified as part of the expected learning outcomes and facilitate
• “anytime-anywhere” learning: through convergent learning technologies leading to collaborative
virtual learning environments.
With a well defined model for development, the university has facilitated two workshops oriented towards
‘R16’ curriculum development. The first one was conducted at the university level, attended by 65 experts
from across the nation; and the second one was conducted at the department level, with each department
conducting the workshop with their industrial partners, in which alumni also participated as invitees,
along with the members of Board of studies, totalling to more than 100 members. These two level
consultative workshops facilitated the framing of a draft curriculum and rules and regulations and course
contents for each course. It was then circulated to a minimum of 10 industry stakeholders, and equal
number of academic partners and alumni to get their comments and suggestions. The Boards of Studies in
their second meeting incorporated all suggestions and individual subjects. Thus, emerged the R16.
The main characteristics of the R16 curriculum are:
1. The curriculum satisfies all criteria of the model proposed by stakeholders. It is futuristic; gives
a holistic treatise of knowledge and skills and facilitates anytime-anywhere learning. While defining
the course content and objectives of each course, it has also made clear identification of the
learning outcomes, defined it in terms of the knowledge students would gain in respective areas.
In addition, it has also made a clear identification of the skills the student would be able to gain
by going through the course and the activities that he/she would be performing to acquire such
skills.
2. It offers choice for the 4 year B Tech students to select and specialize in courses from seven
different categories, namely: Basic Sciences, Basic Engineering, Humanities and Management,
Core Engineering (including project work), Dept. Electives (including modular skill based subjects
of the Dept. courses offered with industry support), Other Electives (including Minor electives)
and General and Life skills. While other categories are, in general, offered by other institutions,
modular courses offered with industry support, minor streams and general skills and life skills
are some of the key innovations introduced in Vignan’s R16 curriculum for B. Tech. students.
3. Though the main purpose of the curriculum is to accommodate the learning needs of a majority
of students admitted, it also accommodates the learning needs of slow and fast learners,
respectively through differential credit policy and option of B.Tech. (Honors.) program.
The well designed curriculum is properly supported, by the teaching, learning and evaluation processes,
in its implementation. The teaching faculty are well trained in the use of IT-based educational technologies,
including Games, Modelling and Simulations. A collaborative learning environment is created through
LMS like Moodle. In order to make both teaching and learning collaborative virtual learning environments
are provided both for students and faculty members through intranet. The notable part of the curriculum
is the evaluation process which is designed for compartmentalized evaluation of knowledge and skills
based on identified activities and experimental learning.
The R16 curriculum is designed with explicit knowledge and skill components and built in activities to
enhance the experiential learning and offers flexibility to suit learning capabilities of the diverse kinds of
learners. We feel it would go a long way in creating graduates who are future ready. The R16 is Vignan’s
contribution towards ‘Skill India’ and ‘Make in India’ missions of our nation. Jai Hind!

I am extremely happy to note that the prime focus of the revised Academic Curriculum 2016 of Vignan’s
University is imparting of Skill which is the need of the hour. The multitude of skill sets required at
various levels of study has been taken due cognizance and the curriculum structured accordingly. Learning
the fundamental subjects and the practical skills will enable the graduate engineers to effectively control
their work teams and operations. I strongly believe that a curriculum like the one prepared, painstakingly,
by Vignan’s University will go a long way in realizing the vision of our Prime Minister in skilling India in
the days ahead.
REFLECTION
Dr. B. Ramamoorthy
Rector - Vignan’s University
Former Professor of Mechanical Engineering, IIT, Madras
Engineers of tomorrow are expected to use abstract and experiential learning, to work independently
and most importantly in groups, and to meld engineering science and engineering practice. Ideally, a
qualified engineer has to serve the purpose of making connections to learn and create. This is an era of
“distributed intelligence”, in which knowledge is available to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. In simple
terms, knowledge gaining process/ approach has shifted from ‘Gurukul days to Google click’.
It now requires strengthening and continually refreshing our talents for innovation and creativity.
Universities will need to embrace new mechanisms for interacting with students and other stakehold-
ers for linking the creation of knowledge with its dissemination and application using every possible
new approach.
Every effort has been taken in this R16 revised curriculum and course contents to ensure that a student
shall practice the skills through well defined activities to make him competitive and industry ready.

satisfactory completion of it through participation / performance at university-level events, state
level or national level participation etc.
1.2 Academic Administration

The academic programmes of VFSTRU are governed by the rules and regulations approved
by the Academic Council from time to time. The various academic activities are conducted
following a fixed time schedule duly approved by the Academic Council in line with the AICTE /
UGC regulations. The academic activities of VFSTRU are followed meticulously as specified in
the academic calendar as approved by the Academic Council. This academic calendar is handed
over to all the students in the beginning of the academic year. The curriculum and the course
contents of all the programmes are discussed by the respective Board of Studies (BoS), analyzed
and recommended for implementation. The BoS meetings are normally held once a year and if
required twice a year. The Academic Council, being the highest academic body, chaired by
the Vice-Chancellor, meets at least twice a year and discusses, suggests and approves all the
important academic matters related to curriculum and course contents in particular including
the recommendations of BoS.
2. CURRICULUM
Each specialization of the programme prescribes semester-wise curriculum encompassing theory
courses, practical courses, and combined theory-practical courses. The theory courses comprise
of lectures (and tutorials wherever required) whereas the practical courses include laboratory
instructions and practicals. In addition to these, seminars, skill-oriented minor projects, mini-
projects, major project work and semester-long project internship in industry are included in
the curriculum. The curriculum and the course contents document provides detaills of semester-
wise scheme of instructions and examinations, and detailed syllabi with text / reference books
recommended, course outcomes, skills acquired and activities performed for each course.
Swapping of the courses between semesters is normally done for operational advantage and
convenience of the students. The overall distribution of credits for various categories of courses

2.1 Semesters
The University follows the semester system. There are two regular semesters and one summer
semester in a year.
2.1.1 Regular Semesters: The regular semester that begins in June / July is known as odd /first
semester and the one that begins in December / January is known as even / second semester.
The instructional days for a regular semester shall be minimum of 90 working days exclusive of
end-semester examination days.
2.1.2 Summer Semester for Course repeaters : To support the slow learners, who were unable to
complete/clear their courses during the regular semester, a ‘summer semester’ may also be
VFSTR UNIVERSITY vii

B.Tech. organized during the summer vacation period of May - June, in accordance with the rules
stipulated by VFSTRU. However, the summer semester courses shall be offered subject to
4 YEAR
DEGREE
academic and administrative convenience.
2.1.3 Value- added courses : In addition to offering regular courses, VFSTRU offers value-added
courses/mini-projects generally during summer vacation to impart employability skills, in tune
with the University vision and mission. This helps students to improve their soft skills and technical
PROGRAMME
abilities. Students are encouraged to undertake in-plant training and short-term internships in
industry, and industrial tours during summer vacation. These value-added courses/ mini-projects,
in-plant training and short-term internships can be considered for credits, provided they satisfy
the criterion approved by concerned authorities of VFSTRU. These programmes are aimed at
making students industry-ready and improving their skills required for campus placements.
2.2 Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)

Each specialization of the degree programme comprises of a set of courses that include theory,
practical, projects and combinations. These courses are of basic sciences, humanities and
management, basic engineering, professional core, electives, and general life skill courses.
VFSTRU offers flexibility for students to choose courses of their choice and get the credits
provided they satisfy the minimum credits criterion in each category as given in Table-1 and
Figure-1.
Table-2 provides the comparison of VFSTRU course structure with the recommended structure
of AICTE. It shows that VFSTRU curriculum has broadly conformed to the guidelines of AICTE
while providing enough choice to students to choose the courses of their domain interest as
well as courses that offer life skills and employability.
a) In Table-1, sum of the minimum credits taken from each category becomes 177 credits. The
remaining 18 credits can be obtained by taking additional courses from any one or more
category(ies) of student’s choice.
b) Most of the basic science courses, basic engineering courses, humanities and management
courses and general life skill courses are offered commonly to students of all specializations
of study.
c) Basic science courses are included to offer the knowledge of scientific theories that form
the basis for all the engineering solutions. Basic engineering courses are those that every
engineer, irrespective of his specialization, ought to understand to perform well in his/her
discipline. Engineering drawing, engineering workshop, computer programming are some
of the courses that fall in this category.
d) Professional Core courses are mentioned separately for each programme and they are
mandatory for every student opting for that specialization. These are designed to offer the
essential fundamental knowledge and skills required for that programme.
e) Elective courses offered for each programme are categorised as ‘department electives’
and ‘open electives’. ‘Department electives’ are those courses that are aimed at offering
the advanced/additional knowledge and recent trends of that specialization. The elective
courses offered by other departments are mentioned as ‘open electives’. Most of these
electives are offered in the form of streams, to help the students undertake in-depth study
in a particular sub-domain of his/her specialization.
f) Wherever it is not possible to offer as a ‘stream’, such courses are offered as individual
elective courses as well. This is to provide scope for inclusion of individual subjects of
current technologies or subjects that are of research/industrial importance.
g) In ‘electives’ category, a student is required to secure a minimum of 30 credits. These
credits can be obtained by taking courses of his/her own department or through a
combination of courses from his/her own department and other departments.
h) Modular courses that are offered with the support of industry are also included in department
elective category. These courses are of one or two credits, and are offered by experts
from industry/academia.
VFSTR UNIVERSITY viii

Choice Based Credit System
2.2.1 Open Elective Courses : ‘Open electives’ are those courses that are offered by other departments,
other than the parent department. They are offered as streams as well as individual courses. A
B.Tech.
4
student can opt for a stream or individual subject of other departments only if she/he fulfils the
prerequisites as defined by the respective host department. This is aimed at encouraging the
interdisciplinary studies. YEAR
‘Minor Streams’ in Open Electives: In addition to courses from other engineering specializations, DEGREE
some specially designed courses called ‘minor streams’ are also offered in this category. The PROGRAMME
University offers three such minor streams. They are Management, Information Technology
and Humanities. The main purpose of these ‘minor streams’ is to provide IT and Management
skills to students to pursue software and other allied career opportunities. ‘Humanities’ stream
is meant for gaining managerial and organisational skills. In this some aspects of civil services
examinations are also covered for the benefit of those interested students.
Elective courses are spread over four semesters from fourth to seventh semester, to enable
students to earn credits from a chosen stream or individual courses. A student’s enrollment for
pursuing a stream is based on his/her choice and order of merit and subject to availability of
seats.
2.2.2 Credits Requirement
a) Regular Degree: A student shall earn a minimum of 195 credits to become eligible for the
award of B.Tech. degree.
b) Honors Degree: A student seeking an ‘Honors’ degree, is required to secure an additional
12 credits (through courses / projects of that specialization), amounting to a total of 207
credits, by opting for courses spread over fifth to eight semesters.
The eligibility for a student to attempt for a honors degree is to have a consistent academic
record, maintaining a minimum of 8.0 CGPA in the first four semesters and cleared all the
subjects in his/her first attempt.
2.3 Industry Internship
A student can undertake internship in industry for one complete semester during seventh /
eighth semester in lieu of major project work carried out in-house. It bears a weightage of 15
credits. This is aimed at training students in solving/understanding real-life problems through
application of engineering analysis, design, evaluation and creation, particularly in association
with practitioners and experts in the industry. The procedures for obtaining the internship
placements and allocation of the same to the students are as per University defined norms
outlined in the ‘internship programme operational guidelines’ manual.
2.4 Project Work
While all the students are expected to undergo industry internships for a full semester, those
students who do not undertake the semester-long internship for some reason or other, should
carry out their major project work in the university and submit their reports which is a mandatory
requirement for the award of degree. It also bears a weightage of 15 credits. As a part of it, a
student under the guidance of a faculty member(s) in the VIII semester will involve in an
innovative design/research through the application of his/her knowledge gained in various
courses studied. He / she is therefore expected to present a survey of literature on the topic,
work out a project plan and carry it out through experimentation / modeling / simulation /
computation. Through such a project work, the student is expected to demonstrate system
analysis, design, presentation and execution skills.
2.5 Mini Projects
In addition to the main project / internship, every student, is expected to do a few ‘mini-projects’
as and when suggested by course coordinator. Each mini-project is considered for one credit.
The topic for ‘mini-project’ may be any practical work that is based on the theoretical concepts
the student has learnt in the classroom or even beyond classroom teaching / learning. The
students can choose the guide on their own or shall be allotted to faculty members who guide
and supervise them in their mini-project work. Each student shall prepare a report on the work
done during the semester and submit the same to the department through the concerned guide
for evalution.
VFSTR UNIVERSITY ix
B.Tech. 2.6 Minor projects

Minor projects are introduced with a view to impart practical skills beyond those that are offered
4 YEAR
DEGREE
through laboratory exercises. These minor-projects are sometimes the extensions of regular
laboratory exercises to enable the students to design and fabricate a product/prototype on his own.
a) The student is expected to put up around 10 hours of work on such minor-projects in each
course. Unlike mini projects and main projects, these projects do not exist independently, as
PROGRAMME
they are integrated either with theory subjects or laboratory courses for their evaluation. They
are considered for 1/3rd of marks in laboratory courses and for 12 marks in theory courses.
b) The output of minor project may result in fabrication of a model, prototype, programming,
simulation or design. The minor project may consist of a combination of design or fabrication
of two or three simple devices/tasks that can demonstrate the skills gained by student. In
such cases, the components are to be independently evaluated and marks are to be
awarded.
c) The project may normally be assigned to an individual student or to a group of students
depending on the complexity and quantum of work involved.
3. ACADEMIC REGISTRATION
At the beginning of every semester, the student must register for all the courses by submitting
an application in the prescribed format giving the details of the same. The semester fee must
be cleared along with all the other pending dues. The maximum number of credits a student
can opt in a particular semester is thirty two. The allotment of courses including free electives,
department electives, minors and internships are done based on the availability of seats, with
the consent of the teacher /department.
4. MINIMUM ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT

It is mandatory for the student to attend the course work in each semester as per the academic
schedule of that semester. VFSTRU expects 100% attendance. However, aggregate attendance
obtained for each and every semester shall not be less than 80 % of the aggregate of maximum
instruction periods taught for all the courses put together.
4.1. Shortage of Attendance

A. The shortage of attendance in aggregate may be condoned up to 10% on the ground of
ill-health and other emergencies
B. Documentary evidence like medical reports and certificates issued by concerned bodies
is to be produced on time and subjected to the scrutiny of a committee constituted for this
purpose by the Vice-Chancellor. The decision of the committee shall be final.
C. However, this condonation can be availed only once during the entire programme. The
student who fails to satisfy the above, shall be detained and not promoted to the next
semester. Such students shall have to repeat that semester as and when it is offered.
5. MINIMUM ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO THE NEXT YEAR

In addition to the attendance requirement, a student shall earn a minimum of 50% of the
prescribed credits in the courses prescribed every year to continue in the programme in the
subsequent year. Such students will become eligible to rejoin the programme only after obtaining
the required number of credits.
6. MAXIMUM ALLOWED DURATION OF STUDY

A student is expected to complete the B.Tech. programme in four years. However, if a student
is unable to complete the programme within the stipulated period, he/she will be allowed a
maximum of seven years to complete the programme.
7. EVALUATION
Teaching-Learning and Evaluation should go hand in hand and complement each other.
Continuous evaluation plays a vital role to enable the student to get synchronized with the
teaching-learning process. Evaluation methods adopted in the university are aimed at testing
VFSTR UNIVERSITY x
Evaluation
the learning outcomes in tune with the outcome based model of education. The focus, is thus
on assessing whether the outcomes are realized by the end of the course. The assessment
B.Tech.
7.1
takes care of both knowledge and skill outcomes which are clearly spelt out for each course.
Continuous Assessment and End-semester Evaluation:
The performance of a student in each course is evaluated on a continuous basis during the
semester through various in-semester examinations. In addition, end-semester examinations
4 YEAR
DEGREE
PROGRAMME
are conducted for all the courses. The marks awarded through continuous evaluation are referred
to as internal marks. The marks awarded through end-semester examinations are referred to as
external marks. Both the internal and external marks are considered to award the final marks and
the grade point in that course.
a) For each course, the maximum sum of internal and external assessment marks finally
considered is 100, in the ratio of 40:60 for theory based courses and theory-practical
integrated courses, and 50:50 for pure practical based courses.
b) To clear a course, a student must secure at least 50% of the total maximum marks which
is inclusive of internal and external marks out of which a minimum of 40% must be
scored in the end semester examination.

completion of the last examination.
7.3.4 Minor projects :
To impart and promote the honing of skills of students, ‘activities’ or ‘minor projects’ are introduced
in the system. Different kind of activities need different assessment methods. However, some
common guidelines applicable to the assessment of all kinds of minor projects are given in this
section. This assessment will be done in two phases by a team of two faculty members. The
marks distribution is given in Table-8.

Outcomes
As these activities are aimed at honing the practical skills of students, the assessment will
focus on evaluating the student’s ability to complete the activity by choosing the required material/
components/algorithms, understanding of the concepts behind that activity and application of
that concept in various real-life applications.
As ‘minor project’ is a new concept introduced in the curriculum, seriousness of the minor
project is to be instilled in the students and its tempo maintained throughout. Therefore, the
university is focused on making the curriculum more skill-oriented by taking the following steps
in its assessment.
a) Dean-Evaluation constitutes branch wise/section wise committees of not less than two
members in each stream, in consultation with HoDs to evaluate the minor projects.
b) At least 20% of above projects shall be randomly checked by another independent
committee. This committee, constituted by the Vice-Chancellor, comprises Dean- Research
and other two senior faculty members, to make the evaluation comprehensive and
transparent. The members of this committee may be drawn from the same department or
allied departments.

e) To assess some special minor projects, not fitting into the above category, a suitable
assessment procedure will be evolved in consultation with experts of that area and
adjudicated by the committee constituted for that purpose. The decision given by the
committee will be final. This is to accommodate new type of activities that are not covered
PROGRAMME
in the assessment procedure outlined above.
7.3.5 Theory courses - End-semester examination:
a) For each theory course, the end-semester examination shall be conducted by the university
for a duration of three hours and for a maximum of 60 marks, covering the complete
syllabus that is mentioned in the course contents and lecture plans.
b) Even for the theory courses in which ‘activity’ is incorporated or theory-laboratory
combination has been made, examination will be conducted for 60 marks only. However,
the marks will be proportionally scaled down as per the distribution mentioned in the Table-
5. The question paper for end-semester theory examination consists of three parts as
given in Table-9.

7.4 Practical courses – Continuous and End-semester evaluation:

The detailed information consisting of experiments, batch formations, experiment schedules, etc.,
will be displayed/informed to the student one week before the commencement of the semester so
that the student comes prepared for the session. Copies of the lab manual will be made available
to the students along with the schedule. The lab manual will consist of the list of equipment,
detailed procedure to conduct the experiment, format for record writing, outcomes for each
experiment and possible set of short questions to help students gain critical understanding.
During laboratory sessions, a brief viva-voce is conducted for each student on the experiment
he/she is carrying out on that day. Some of the parameters that could be included in the continuous
evaluation are given in Table-10. The set of parameters may slightly differ from one laboratory
to the other, and will be announced before the commencement of the lab session. These
parameters are assessed for each laboratory session.

d) The committee shall monitor at least four lab sessions every week and render a report to PROGRAMME
the Dean Evaluation, and other University functionaries.
7.4.1 The scheme of internal laboratory examination:
The internal laboratory examination shall be conducted around the middle of the semester. The
examination is to be conducted, by a team of two examiners, one who conducts the laboratory
sessions and the other appointed by the HoD. The scheme of evaluation shall be the same as
that of the end-examination for the laboratory. The teacher shall make a comparative statement
of these lab marks with the student’s previous aggregate percentage of marks. When the
difference is more than 20%, the remarks of the teacher are to be endorsed with full justification
and displayed at notice boards. A committee appointed by the Dean Evaluation will scrutinize
all such comparisons and take necessary action.
7.4.2 End-semester laboratory evaluation:
End semester examination for each practical course is conducted jointly by both internal and
external examiners. The examiners are appointed by Dean, Evaluation from the panel of
examiners suggested by the respective Heads of the Department. To maintain the objectivity
and seriousness of the students towards the lab curriculum and lab examinations, a panel of
large number of examiners, four times to the actual requirement shall be suggested by the
HoD, at least one month in advance and submit the details to the Dean Evaluation. The Dean
Evaluation will select the examiners on a random basis. After examination, at least 10% of the
scripts are to be audited by a three member committee appointed by the Dean- Evaluation. For
every class, the mean of the lab marks and theory marks are to be compared and if there is a
deviation of more than 20% the reasons are to be analyzed and documented. The scheme of
evaluation may vary depending on the nature of laboratory, which shall be shared with the
student by the laboratory in-charge and also stamped on the answer scripts. The general
scheme of evaluation is given in Table – 11.

Evaluation of Project Work:
PROGRAMME
Those students who do not opt for the semester-long internship, carry out their projects at
VFSTRU and submit their report which is a mandatory requirement for the award of degree.
These projects are usually done in groups (not exceeding five students in a group), during the
VIII semester, under the guidance of a faculty member. Every faculty member, in consultation
with the allotted students, should define the project and also the probable procedure of carrying
it out and submit the same to a committee which includes Dean- Research and other three
senior faculty members. This is to avoid the repetition and also to come up with a roadmap for
completion of the project within the time stipulated. The students are encouraged to select
topics related to ongoing research and consultancy projects in the University. The students
are expected to carry out and present a survey of literature on the topic, work out a project plan
and its implementation through experimentation / modeling / simulation / computation. They
are also expected to exhibit system analysis, design, and presentation and evaluation skills.
The entire process of grouping of student batches, and identification of respective guides etc.,
is to be completed by the end of VII semester, so that students can use the inter-semester
break for literature survey or data collection.
7.5.1 Project Review Committee (PRC) :
The progress of project is reviewed thrice in a semester by the “Project Review Committee” and
internal marks are awarded based on these reviews. The Project review committee consists of :

c) Project supervisor - member
Review schedules of PRC are to be announced by the department immediately after the
commencement of class work. The review presentations are open to all the students of that
section and attendance is compulsory. The first review should be of 10 minutes/batch; the
second and third reviews should be around 30 minutes/batch. The teacher shall make a
comparative statement of these marks with the student’s previous aggregate percentage of
marks. When the difference is more than 20%, the remarks of the teacher are to be endorsed
with full justification and displayed at notice boards. A committee appointed by the Dean
Evaluation will scrutinize all such comparisons and take necessary action.
The detailed assessment guidelines and scheme are to be announced along with the assessment
schedule. The following aspects may be considered by the committee for assessment.
First Review: (for 10 marks, within three weeks after commencement of class work)

7.8. Examinations Procedures:

7.8.1 Pre Examinations:
Normally, a minimum of one week of study holidays will be given to the students for preparation
of the end examinations (theory). In order to maintain the academic standards, external faculty
from reputed institutions are also involved in the setting of the end examination question papers.
The question paper will be designed to test all the outcomes listed in the curriculum, keeping in
mind the abilities of the average performer in that particular course. An examination notification
consisting of the details of examination fee, payment dates, application procedure etc., will be
released by the office of Dean Evaluation and displayed on the notice boards and also posted
on the university website. Examination schedules will be announced at least one month before
the commencement of examinations. A student who wants to write the external examination
must submit an application and register himself to write the examinations.
7.8.2 During Examination:
To ensure secured environment, examinations will be conducted in the halls, exclusively
designated for the purpose and under CCTV surveillance. Seating arrangements will be in
such a way that students who are writing the same examination are separated by at least one
and half meter distance. The seating arrangements, malpractice norms, guidelines to be followed
by the student during examinations will be displayed on the notice boards prominently. Special
flying squads are deployed for patrolling and preventing any malpractice during examinations.
Students will be subjected to scrutiny before entering into the examination halls and no electronic
gadgets are permitted except calculators.
7.8.3 After the examination:

To ensure objectivity in evaluation, the answer scripts are encoded before evaluation and also
jumbled. To assure transparency, the scheme of evaluation to be used for evaluation is made
available to students and faculty through internet, and comments received will be used to revise
the scheme, if needed. 10% of the total scripts are reevaluated by experts to verify the uniform
implementation of the scheme during evaluation.
7.8.4 Results:
Results of the end examinations are announced within three weeks of completion of the last
examination. Results are published on the University website, displayed prominently on all the
VFSTR UNIVERSITY xx

PROGRAMME
7.9 Grades from co-curricular and extra-curricular activities:
Towards realizing the University’s vision of preparing multifaceted personalities suitable not
only for placements but also as a social responsibility and to lead a happy and successful life in
future, various other activities such as NCC, NSS, NSO, yoga, music, dance etc. are encouraged
and credits are awarded accordingly. Summer internships, certification courses from reputed
organizations, games and sports, value added courses are conducted in the institution by the
Entrepreneurship Cell or departments, which are also considered for award of credits. The
credits shall be awarded based on the successful completion and passing in the examinations
conducted for them. However, these programmes need prior approval of the authorities
concerned. Courses of generalized skills, life skills, professional communication skills etc., all
fall in this category.
Extra curricular activities like the performance in NCC, NSS, NSO, yoga, music, dance and fine
arts are also considered for the award of credits. Detailed procedures on offering these
programme and evaluation procedures and requirements for the award of the credits for such
courses are provided in the brochures and information manuals available for each programme.
These courses will carry one credit, with a minimum of thirty hours of engagement in a semester,
as defined by the University or by the agencies approved / recognized by the University. Such
courses will culminate with a certification of qualifying in the concerned activity by the agency/
University. To evaluate these activities objectively, different committees consisting of not less
than three members each, shall be appointed by the Dean Evaluation. The evaluation parameters
for such activities include regularity, discipline and the performance, based on which pass/fail
grade will be awarded.
The number of credits that can be claimed from this category shall not exceed five in the entire
programme.

10. GRADE POINT AVERAGE

The Academic Performance of a student is indicated every semester by the Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA) and finally by Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
11. SEMESTER GRADE POINT AVERAGE (SGPA)

The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) shall be computed using the formula given below:
where
n = number of course a student registered in the semester under consideration
pi = Grade points secured for the ith course registered in the semester under
consideration.
Ci = the number of credits assigned to ith course registered in the semester under
consideration.
12. CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall be computed for all the semesters of study
completed at a given point of time. The formula shall be as follows :
where
m = number of courses of study registered in all semesters at a given point of time in the
programme
Cj = the number of credits assigned to the jth course
pj = grade points secured in the jth course.
13. CLASSIFICATION
The students who have become eligible for award of degree shall be classified based on
their CGPA secured, as per the Table given below:
Sl No. CGPA Secured Class / Division
1. 8.5* and above Honors*

2. 8.0 and above First Class with Distinction
3. 6.5 and above but less than 8.0 First Class
4. 6.0 and above but less than 6.5 Second Class
*Should have acquired 12 additional credits (Totaling to 207) and passed all the courses in his/
her first attempt and secured an overall CGPA of above 8.5.
VFSTR UNIVERSITY xxii

Change of Branch
a) Toppers in each specialization are identified, based on their academic performance (CGPA)
and are awarded gold medals during the convocation.
b) In addition, the ‘Chairman’s gold medal’ is awarded to the ‘outstanding student’ based on
the overall performance which includes academic, co-curricular and extracurricular activities,
campus placements and competitive examinations. A committee appointed by the Vice
Chancellor will recommend the eligible student for the award, selected from the nominations
received from the departments.
c) In addition, the university may recognize exceptional performance such as music, dance,
sports etc. and display of exceptional bravery from time to time.
14 CHANGE OF BRANCH
The students can request for change of branch after completing the first two semesters of
study. One percent of the seats in each branch subject to a minimum of one seat is made
available for accommodating such requests. These requests are considered subject to the
following conditions:
a) Top one percent of the students in each branch based on CGPA at the end of the second
semester subject to a minimum of one student in each branch are eligible for a change
of branch.
b) If only one student is eligible from a branch and if he/she is not willing to change
specialization, the opportunity can be availed by the second or third ranker of the branch
in that order.
c) The seats must be available in the branch to which a student intends to change.
d) The seats in the branch from which a student intends to change do not fall significantly
such that it is unviable to run the programme after effecting the change.
e) The student opting for a change should not have any backlog courses.
f) The decision of the University in effecting the changes is final.
All the above points are applicable for branch change cases based on the merit criterion. There
may be branch change requests of another kind, from the students who are not able to cope up
with the studies of the branch they are admitted into. All such requests are to be referred to a
committee constituted for the purpose. The committee takes the decision based on the merit of
each case, the availability of seats and various other factors. The decision of the committee in
this regard is final.
Because there is a difference of one or two courses in the First year curriculum among
different specializations, when the student changes his specialization after completing first
year, he/she is required to complete those first year courses of the new specialization which
were not studied by him/her during the first year. Special classes shall be arranged during
summer semester breaks for such students to study and complete those courses. They have to
attend those classes and fulfill the requirements of attendance and internal marks. Such students
can appear for the external examinations along with regular and supplementary batches.
15. INTERPRETATION OF RULES

a) The academic rules and regulations should be read as a whole for the purpose of any
interpretation.
b) In case of any doubt or ambiguity in the interpretation of the above rules, the decision of the
Vice-Chancellor or the committee appointed by Vice-Chancellor for the purpose, is final.
The University may change or amend the academic rules and regulations or syllabi at any time,
and the changes or amendments made shall be applicable to all the students with effect from the
dates, notified by the University.

FOREWORD
Mechanical Engineering has been traditionally thought of as a discipline that applies principles
from engineering, physics in design, analysis, manufacturing of mechanical systems, which
involves the associate transfer and flow of energies from one form to another. Now, it is at the
centre of almost all technical advancements, from health services to communications,
transportations, and most other infrastructure that we see around. The Mechanical Engineers
of today are multidisciplinary, with knowledge from other branches of engineering.
At VFSTR university, the curriculum undergoes regular revisions to ensure local relevance with
a global outlook. We believe in imparting a broad education which instills a sense of lifelong
learning, community and leadership values in students, together with an appreciation of global
issues. Additionally, we offer various overseas exchange programmes to further the global
outreach of our Mechanical Engineering degree. Mechanical Engineering is known to have a
large employment potential worldwide, ensuring an enriching career and leadership
opportunities in industries, government, and research organizations.
The department of Mechanical Engineering has designed a new curriculum, R16, with emphasis
on both knowledge and skills to make the graduates work ready.
R16 curriculum comprises of:
• Four elective streams of current technologies
• Fundamental core and specialized elective courses such as Composite Materials,
Advanced Mechanics of Solids, Tribology, Fracture Mechanics, Computational Fluid
Dynamics, Flexible Manufacturing Systems etc.
• Laboratory sessions integrated with theory courses wherever possible.
In R16 curriculum, every care has been taken to accommodate the knowledge and skill
requirements of industry through practical sessions. While making the graduates work ready, it
also enables them to be successful in competitive examinations like GATE and Engineering
Services.
The Board of Studies of Mechanical Engineering consists of eminent personalities from industry,
academia and research organizations.
