1 INTRODUCTION
NSUT has embarked on its journey towards excellence in academics through the introduction of a novel
system of learning that is being followed in many reputed universities globally. The Choice Based Credit
System (CBCS) has been proposed by University Grants Commission (UGC) on recommendations of the
National Knowledge Commission, to improve the quality of higher education in India. NSUT proposes to
adopt CBCS for its Bachelor of Technology courses
CBCS is the mother of student centric educational reforms. A student is provided with an academically
rich, highly flexible learning system blended with abundant provision for skill practice and activity
orientation that he/she could learn in depth without sacrificing his/her creativity. A student can exercise
the option to decide his/her own pace of learning- slow, normal or accelerated plan and sequence his/her
choice of paper, learn to face challenges through term work/ project work and may venture out to acquire
extra knowledge/ proficiency through add-on facilities. The great advantage of CBCS is that the learning
process is made continuous and the evaluation process is not only made continuous but also made
learner-centric and is designed to recognize the capability and talent of a student.
2 CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
B.Tech. programme of the University shall be based upon CBCS and shall have well defined Programme
Educational Objectives (PEOs). All the courses shall have well-defined Course Outcomes (COs). Courses
shall be of three kinds namely Core, Elective and Foundation.
a. Core Course (CC): This is a course which is to be compulsorily studied by a student as a core
requirement to complete the requirements of the B.Tech. programme.
b. Elective Course: This is a course which can be chosen from a pool of elective courses. It is intended to
support the discipline of study by providing an expanded scope, enabling exposure to another
discipline/domain and nurturing a student’s proficiency and skill. An elective may be of the following
types:
i. Discipline Centric Elective (ED): It is an elective course that adds proficiency to the students in the
discipline.
ii. Generic Elective (EG): It is an elective course taken from other engineering subjects and enhances
the generic proficiency and interdisciplinary perspective of students.
iii. Open Elective (EO): It is an elective course taken from a common pool of non-engineering
disciplines that broadens the perspective of an engineering student. These electives shall comprise
two groups: Open electives of the Humanities, Social Sciences and Management group and Open
electives of the Sciences group.
c. Foundation Course: A Foundation course leads to knowledge enhancement and provides value-based
training. Foundation courses may be of two kinds:
i. Compulsory Foundation (FC): It is based upon the content that leads to fundamental knowledge
enhancement in Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences and Basic engineering. They are mandatory
for all disciplines.
ii. Elective Foundation (FE): It can be taken from among a common pool of foundation courses which
aim at value-based education. They may provide hands-on training to improve competencies, skills
or provide education on human, societal, environmental and national values. These shall be
mandatory, non-credit courses, which do not carry any credits but a student has to pass in order to
be eligible for award of degree.
The performance of a student in a semester shall be evaluated through continuous class assessment, MSE
and ESE. Both the MSE and ESE shall be University examinations and will be conducted as notified by
the CoE of the University. The marks for continuous assessment (Sessional marks) shall be awarded at the
end of the semester. The continuous assessment shall be based on class tests, assignments/tutorials,
quizzes/viva-voce and attendance etc. The MSE/ESE shall comprise of written papers, practicals and viva-
voce, inspection of certified course work in classes and laboratories, project work, design reports or by
means of any combination of these methods.
The weightage of each of these modes of evaluation for the different types of courses shall be as per Table
1. Further, the mechanism for continuous assessment shall be as per Table 2.

*** Foundation Elective Courses are value-based courses which may enhance the proficiency /skill. These
electives could be communication skills, Spoken English, soft skills, Business and Management courses,
The University offers the students a pool of Foundation elective courses which may be offered by the
following departments of the University:
i) Department of Humanities
ii) Department of Management
iii) Department of Personality Development
*PD offers FE courses like music, dance, yoga, sports, NSS, etc.
