GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic
communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during Tests or
the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the class room.

E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a pass
word to access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information – Date of conducting
class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to arrange meetings with us or ask
specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments preferably should be
uploaded on online learning tool. Various research papers/reference material will be
mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.

Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject. Students
with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different approach-
es have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in different ways
through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is measured through
quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations. It is suggested that each
examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two outcomes (depending upon
the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the student survey which needs to be
designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and it shall be conducted towards the end
of course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done by
analyzing the inputs received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions
suggested for further improvement.

Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 30%/40% marks of the “highest marks in the
class scored by a student in that subject (in that class/group class)” individually in both the ‘End-
Semester examination’ and ‘Total Marks’ in order to pass in that paper.

* Passing Criterion for B. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class

* Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 50% of the highest marks in the class

Course outcome assessment:

1. Direct assessment by Class Test, quizzes, assignments, Mid Semester exams
2. Indirect assessment by feedback by student at the end of the course
