INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY

Ordinances, Regulations and Syllabi relating to the

Degree of Master of Perfumery and Flavour Technology
(M.Tech-Perfumery and Flavour Technology)

1. Introduction

The Institute is revamping its academic structure especially for the masters courses by way of introducing
the compulsory industrial training for a period of six months (to be taken in the third semester of the program). The
number of credits in the first two semesters has also been increased and a research component has been included.
The total credits in the first two semesters now stand at 27 each instead of earlier 21. All the courses will continue
to be credit based and the evaluation will be grade based.
The Departmental administrative committee and academic program committee periodically proposed the
program outcomes having consistency with the graduate attributes available with NBA. The committee critically
analysed information obtained from graduated students, employers and immediately passed out students. The
program outcomes are as follows:

Credit system is a systematic way of describing an educational programme by attaching credits to its components.
The definition of credits may be based on different parameters, such as student workload, learning outcomes and
contact hours. It is a student-centric system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a
programme. It should facilitate academic recognition of the courses and mobility of the students. Credits
assignment is based on the principle that Credits can only be obtained after successful completion of the work
required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved. As per the AICTE norms 2L/week of
lectures are 2 credits, while 2h/week of practical/ /seminar/literature review/research work are 1 credit. This has
been taken as the basis during the working of the proposed syllabus.

Student workload consists of the time required to complete all prescribed learning activities such as attendance at
lectures/practical, seminars, projects, etc. Credits are allocated to all the educational components of a study
programme and indicate the quantity of work each component requires to achieve its specific objectives.

Evaluation is an important component of any teaching-learning process. The Institute gives emphasis on continuous
evaluation with considerable freedom to the teacher in deciding the mode of evaluation of the students. The
performance of the student is documented by a grade at the end of the semester. The grading scale ranks the
students on a statistical basis. Therefore, statistical data on student performance is a prerequisite for applying the
grading system.

2. Course Credits
In general a certain quantum of work measured in terms of credits is laid down as the requirement for a
particular degree. The student acquires credits by passing courses every semester, the amount of credit associated
with a course being dependent upon the number of hours of instruction per week in that course.

There are mainly two types of courses in the Institute - lecture courses and laboratory courses. Lecture courses
consist of lecture (L) and tutorial (T) hours. Laboratory courses consist of practical (P) hours. The credit (C) for a
course is dependent on the number of hours of instruction per week in that course, as given below:

(1) 1h/week of lecture (L) or tutorial (T) = 1 credit

(2) 2h/week of Practicals (P) = 1 credit
 (3) Credit (C) for a theory course = No. of hours of lectures per week +No. of hours of tutorials per week = L
+T
(4) Credits (C) for a Laboratory course/Seminar/research work = ½ x No. of hours per week

Credits will be assigned to In-plant, Seminar, Projects and other mandatory course requirements also and these will
be mentioned in the respective syllabi. There may be some non-credit requirements. A student is required to earn
credits as mentioned in the syllabus.

DR 0
- provided he/she intimates the same (i or ii) at least 7 days in advance of the
commencement of the end-semester examination for the respective year.

e) Grades FF and I are place-holders only and do not enter into CPI/SPI calculations directly. These grades
get converted to one of the regular grades after the end-semester examination

f) A candidate with an FR grade is not eligible for any repeat examination in that course and has to re-register
for that semester by paying the appropriate fees.
g) I grade will not be continued beyond the permissible number of end-semester/repeat examinations.

h) ‘XX' Grade: The grade XX in a course is awarded if – (i) candidate does not maintain the minimum 75%
attendance in the Lecture/Tutorial/Practical classes, (ii) candidate receives less than 20% of the combined
marks assigned for continuous assessment and mid-semester examination, and (iii) candidate indulges in a
misconduct/uses unfair means in the examination, assignments, etc., of a nature serious enough to invite
disciplinary action in the opinion of the teacher.
(Note: Award of the XX grade in the case of g(iii) above shall be done by Disciplinary Action Committee
(DAC)).
i) The names/roll numbers of students to be awarded the XX grade should be communicated by the teacher to
the Academic office as per academic calendar before the last date of submission of the application for end-
semester examination
3.6. Awarding the grades
The grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis on the basis of the overall performance of the students of a
given class in the given course head. Therefore, statistical data on students’ performance is a prerequisite for
applying the grading system. While assigning grades in a given course head, it is essential to know the average
marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head and the highest marks (HM) obtained in
the same subject head.
3.6.1. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is <60%, the interval
AM shall be awarded grade CC and the other grades shall be decided as follows:
i. AA, AB, BB, and BC grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal
intervals.
ii. CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing the
head (i.e. 40%) by dividing the range in equal intervals.

3.6.2. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is such that 60% ≤
AM < 70%, the interval AM shall be awarded grade BC and the other grades shall be decided as follows:

(i) AA, AB, BB grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(ii) CC, CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing
the head (i.e. 40%) by dividing the range in equal intervals.

3.6.3. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is ≥ 70%, the interval
AM shall be awarded grade BB and the other grades shall be decided as follows:
(i) AA and AB grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(ii) BC CC, CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing
the head (i.e. 40%) by dividing the range in equal intervals.

4. SPI and CPI

a) Semester Performance Index (SPI): The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by Semester
Performance Index (SPI), which is a weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
taken by the student in the semester and scaled to a maximum of 10. (SPI is to be calculated upto two
decimal places.)
A Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be computed for each semester as follows:

 n 

  cg 
i i
SGPA  i 1 
 n 
  i
 c

i 1 
 Where
‘n’ is the number of courses for the semester,
‘ci’ is the number of credits allotted to a particular course, and
‘gi’ is the grade-points awarded to the student for the course based on his performance as per the above
table.
SGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such.
b) Cumulative Performance Index (CPI): An up to date assessment of the overall performance of a student
from the time he entered the Institute is obtained by calculating Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) of
a student. The CPI is weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses registered by the
student since he entered the Institute. CPI is also calculated at the end of every semester (upto two decimal
places).

Starting from the first semester at the end of each semester (S), a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be
computed as follows:

 m 
  c g 
i i
CGPA  i 1 
 m 
  c 
i
i 1 
Where
‘m’ is the total number of courses from the first semester onwards up to and including the semester S,
‘ci’ is the number of credits allotted to a particular course, and
‘gi’ is the grade-points awarded to the student for the course based on his performance as per the above table.
CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such.

c) The CGPA, SGPA and the grades obtained in all the subjects in a semester will be communicated to every
student at the end of every semester / beginning of the next semester.
d) When a student gets the grade ‘FF’, or I’ in any subject head during a semester, the SGPA and CGPA
from that semester onwards will be tentatively calculated, taking only ‘zero’ grade point for each such ‘FF’
or ‘I’ grade. When the ‘FF’ grade(s) has / have been substituted by better grades after the repeat
examination or subsequent semester examination, the SGPA and CGPA will be recomputed and recorded.

5. Repeat End-Semester Examination

5.1. For those candidates who fail in a subject head or are eligible for appearing at the repeat examination, Repeat
End-Semester Examination will be conducted within one month from the declaration of the results of regular end-
semester examination, as per Regulation R.14.
5.2. The marks obtained by candidates in the in-semester examinations (continuous assessment and Mid-Semester
Examination) will be carried forward in such cases.
5.3. Grading the performance in the Repeat Examination: The grades will be assigned as per 3.5 and 3.6 above.
However, for a candidate taking any repeat examination or subsequent regular semester examination or performance
improvement examination shall be awarded one grade lower than that decided on the basis of the actual marks
obtained; provided ‘EE’ grade obtained in such an examination shall remain ‘EE’. For reference see the table
below.
Grade obtained in repeat or subsequent
Grade to be assigned Grade point
end-semester examination
AA AB 9.0
AB BB 8.0
BB BC 7.0
BC CC 6.5
CC CD 6.0
CD DD 5.5
DD EE 5.0
EE EE 5.0

5.4. Revaluation of end-semester and repeat examination: Candidate’s performance in these examinations
will be displayed on proper notice board and after 3 days of such display the marks will be sent to the
Academic Office. No revaluation of these examinations will be allowed.

6. Passing of a Semester examination

A candidate shall be declared as ‘PASSED’ any semester examination if he/she has

a) Cleared all heads of passing by securing grades EE or higher in all the heads;
b) Passed all the heads of passing such as project, seminar, training, etc as per the rules;
c) Satisfactorily completed all the mandatory requirements of the course;
d) paid all the Institute dues;
e) No case of indiscipline pending against him/her.

7. Eligibility for the Award of a Degree

A candidate shall be declared eligible for the award of a degree, if he/she has cleared all the semester examinations
as given in (6) above.

8. Allowed to keep terms (ATKT)

8.1 A candidate who has I grade in one or more heads of passing of an odd semester of an academic year shall be
allowed to keep terms for the respective even semester.
8.2. A candidate shall be allowed to keep terms for the subsequent academic year if he/she has FF or I grades in not
more than two heads of passing from all the heads of passing of the two terms of the previous academic year taken
together. Such a candidate shall be declared as FAILED, ATKT.

9. Repeating a course

9.1 A student is required to repeat the course under the following situations:
(a) A student who gets an XX, FR, or DR grade in a course; or
(b) A student has exhausted all permissible chances to clear the course.
9.2 A candidate from first year who remains absent for the regular end-semester examination of a semester and the
corresponding repeat examination for ALL SUBJECTS shall have to take fresh admission for the corresponding
year; unless the candidate has dropped out / terminated from the course.
9.3 If a candidate at the Second, fails to pass any semester examination in not more than 4 consecutive
examinations, including the repeat examinations, from the date of registering for the respective year, the candidate
shall have to take readmission for the corresponding year again in which the failure has occurred, provided the
course is not changed.

10. Improvement of performance

A candidate will be allowed to appear at the entire examination after the regular end-semester examination as
per the respective rules to improve the performance. In such a case if the result of the examination repeated –
1) Is better than the previous one, the previous result shall be declared null and void; and
2) Is worse than the previous one, the result of the subsequent examination shall not be declared.
3) However, awarding of final grade will be made under the provision of sub clause 5.3 above.

11. Exit rules for poorly performing students

A candidate shall be excluded from a course under the following conditions:

(a) If he/she fails to pass any semester examination of the any year of the course in not more than four consecutive
