PREFACE
The Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur is the first of the sixteen Institutes
established in the IIT system. Established in 1951, IIT Kharagpur stands tall for its
excellence in Academics and Research with top class faculty. With 19 Academic
Departments, 7 Centers & 8 Schools of Excellence, the Institute offers 15
B.Tech.(Hons.) Programs, 38 Dual Degree Programs, 2 Interdisciplinary Dual
Degree Programs, 6 Integrated M.Sc. Programs and 5 Two Year M.Sc. degree
programs of Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D.
The Undergraduate courses at IIT Kharagpur are known for their academic depth
and professional learning flexibility, imbibed with options to earn minor or extra
credits. Having an apt mix of basic sciences, engineering sciences, professional core
of the major discipline, humanities courses, management subjects, project work,
open electives and industrial training, the courses give a professional edge to the
students. The system stimulates broad spectrum learning. Extra Academic activity
is a non credit component of the curriculum that not only helps the students in
character and personality building but also in understanding the needs of the
society and contributing in an effective way to meet these social challenges.
IIT Kharagpur follows a credit based semester system. There are two Semesters in
an academic year (Autumn: July - November; and Spring: January - April) during
which all courses specified for various degree programs are offered. There is one
additional term of seven week duration during summer, for the theory subjects of
the first year to offer additional training to students who do not clear these
subjects. The Institute has recently launched an International Summer /Winter
Term Program which is open to all students. The students get an opportunity to
seek knowledge and experience from International faculty in various multi-
disciplinary subjects.
IIT Kharagpur is a very student friendly place and all efforts are made to ensure
that the students are provided the best opportunities that are needed to create
outstanding pool of human resources to meet the global challenges in all spheres.
The students are required to follow certain procedures and meet specified academic
requirements each semester. This booklet gives comprehensive information on the
existing Rules and Regulations for B.Tech.(Hons.), Dual Degree and M.Sc.
Programs.
We urge the students to make best use of the world class infrastructure and
facilities available at IIT Kharagpur and wish all of them all the very best for a
successful career.
Dean (UGS)

1. Academic Administration

The Senate is a statutory and supreme body that governs all

academic matters of the Institute, and the rulings of Senate Chairman (Director
of The Institute) are final in regard to all academic issues. A definite time
schedule is set by the Senate for various academic activities, through an
Academic Calendar issued in the beginning of each academic year. The Senate
continuously assesses the Academic Programs and makes appropriate revisions/
modifications/improvements as and when required through three Institute level
Senate subcommittees: The Under-Graduate Program Evaluation Committee
(UGPEC) for undergraduate programs, the Post-Graduate Program Evaluation
Committee (PGPEC) for post-graduate programs, and the Research Program
Evaluation Committee (RPEC) for research programs. Administrative back-up
and support for all academic activities is provided by the Academic Section and
the ERP system of the Institute. On joining the Institute, students of each
discipline are assigned to a Faculty Advisor from their Department. Faculty
Advisors assist the students on matters relating to their academic performance
and the courses they may take in various semesters.
Dean (Undergraduate Studies) and Dean (Students’ Affairs) are the two Chief
Academic Authorities for the Undergraduate (UG) Programs. All the UG Academic
matters come under the purview of Dean (Undergraduate Studies). Matters
pertaining to conduct, discipline and welfare of the students are overseen by the
Dean (Students’ Affairs).

330.H.I.C.9)
18. Additional credits
From the THIRD semester onwards (including 2yr MSc Students, SENATE:
329.H.I.C.5) the curriculum offers scope for a student to opt for Additional
subjects apart from the regular curriculum requirement under the following
conditions:
17.1 If a student has a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) equal to or greater
than 7.50 without any backlog, he/she would be allowed to take additional
subjects within and/or outside his/her own discipline to earn additional credits
of up to 33% of his/her requirement for major. A student would be allowed to
register in an additional subject only if he/she satisfies the pre-requisite, there is
no clash in the timetable and the class size permits.
17.2 Once a student has registered in an additional subject, the grade obtained
(including F-grade) in that subject would invariably be recorded in his/her grade
card. The credit contribution of these additional subjects to the computation of
CGPA, however, would be considered as nil.
17.3 The GPA of the additional subjects is separately calculated and indicated in the
grade card.
17.4 A student can drop an additional subject following the proper procedure before
mid-semester examination (Senate Item 320.H.I.C.11); otherwise the subject will
remain registered and the subject will be mandatorily reflected on the Grade
Card even with F grade.

17.5 There is no scope for supplementary examination in an additional subject.

17.6 However in the case of failure in the additional subject, the student should
repeat the additional subject in the next offered semester. The student is
permitted to take alternate additional subject if the subject is not offered in the
next semester. These additional subjects will not be counted for minor
specialization (Senate Item 320.H.I.C.11).
17.7 The students can register for Additional subjects with EAA as backlog
(Senate Item 322.H.I.C.6). .
19. Micro-Credits

cases when students are available.
18.2 The subject will be counted for total credit requirement for completion of
degree in special cases subject to recommendation of the Head and
approval of Dean (UGS) with due reasons recorded.
18.3 The subject and grade will be mentioned in transcript / grade card and will be
used to compute CGPA for additional subjects and will be shown as
ACGPA. Failures will be marked by F grade. There will be no supplementary
examination for such subjects. In the case of failure in the micro-credit
subject, the student should repeat the micro-credit subject if offered in the
next offered semester. The student is permitted to take alternate micro-credit
subject if the subject is not offered in the next semester. (Senate Item
321.A.I.C.1).
18.4 Grade revision for Micro-Credit Courses is not permitted. (Senate Item
333.C.I.C.1).
18.5 However, in case the micro-credit is accepted as a subject contributing
to the curricular requirement, it will be accounted for in the CGPA
calculations.
18.6 A student is normally not expected to take more than 2 such courses in a
semester. The subject may also be a part of minor and micro‐specialization.
18.7 The students can register for Micro-credit subjects with EAA as backlog
(Senate Item 322.H.I.C.6).
20. Minor in a Discipline

19.1 A department would offer a MINOR in a discipline in which it offers a major.
19.2 The department would enlist a set of subjects from its curriculum and prescribe
a requirement for minor taking six subjects or more (18-24 contact-hours plus
3-9 hours of laboratory) from this set. The subjects would be a combination of
mostly core and some electives.
19.3 Students aspiring for a Minor in a discipline must register for the same in the
beginning of the 5th semester. Only those students, who have a CGPA of 7.5 or
above, without any Backlog, will be permitted to register for a Minor. An SGPA or
CGPA in excess of 8.0 has to be maintained in the subsequent semesters
without any Backlog in order to keep the Minor registration active. Should both
the SGPA and CGPA fall below 8.0 at any point after registering for the minor;
the Minor registration will cease to be active.
19.4 A student registered for Minor in a discipline must register and pass in all

subjects that constitute the requirement for a minor and score a minimum
grade point average of 6.00 to be awarded a Minor in that discipline.
19.5 A student may cover these six subjects as either a depth subject, elective subject
or a breadth subject or as additional credits. However, he/she has to take at
least three subjects as additional credits to earn a minor.
19.6 Students enrolled in Dual Degree, Integrated M.Sc. and B.Arch. (Hons.) are
permitted to pursue minor in other discipline up to their 10th Semester, while
the students of B.Tech.(Hons.) should complete the minor requirements by 8th
semester.
19.7 The students can register for Minor with EAA as backlog (Senate Item
322.H.I.C.6).
21. Micro – Specialization
The Institute offers Micro-Specializations to UG students from the Spring
Semester of the current Academic Session (2014-2015). The salient features are
as follows:
20.1 Each Micro-Specialization has a defined structure in terms of three sequential
components:
20.1.1 Component-I – One Foundation Course (2-4 credits) that constitutes a
Mandatory Requirement and also a Pre-Requisite for subsequent
Components.
20.1.2 Component-II- One/Two subjects (3-4 credits each) from a Specified list
of subjects.
20.1.3 Component-III- Project/Design/Term Paper (4 credits) OR one subject
(4 credits) from a Specified list.
20.2 A Student would be required to complete 3-4 subjects (10-14 credits) from the
specified list in order to earn a Micro-Specialization.
20.3 The subjects can be taken through the Breadth/Open Elective component of the
curriculum or as Additional Subjects. If specified in the Micro-Specialization
curriculum, the subject can also be taken as Micro-Credit/s.
20.4 A student has to register for a Micro-Specialization. The Registration can be done
in the beginning of any Semester beyond first year.
20.5 In order to register for a Micro-Specialization the student must have completed
all curricular requirements upto the previous semester and have a CGPA ≥ 7.0.
Thereafter the student must maintain a CGPA or SGPA ≥ 7.5 without any
Backlog in the subsequent semesters to keep the Micro-Specialization
registration active.
20.6 GPA for the subjects contributing to the Micro-Specialization will be separately
calculated. A minimum GPA of 6.00 is essential to earn the Micro-Specialization.
20.7 The students can register for Micro-Specialization subjects with EAA as
backlog (Senate Item 322.H.I.C.6).
22. Admission to Ph.D. for Joint M.Sc. - Ph.D.

Program
Students admitted to the 2 year M.Sc. of the Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D. program can
either leave with the M.Sc. degree after the fourth semester or join the Ph.D.
program (SENATE: 304.F.I.C.4) if he/she satisfies the following rules:
21.1 The student must have secured a minimum CGPA of 8 at the end of the fourth
semester. The students must express, in writing, his (or her) willingness to

continue with Ph.D.

21.2 Successful Joint M.SC.-Ph.D. student will be awarded two degrees (M.Sc. and
Ph.D.) simultaneously. Hence a student shifting to the Ph.D. program will not be
listed as a recipient M.Sc. degree in the following convocation. However, each
such student will be the given final grade card of the 4-semester M.Sc. degree. If,
after joining, a student exits the Ph.D. program, then the degree of M.Sc. will be
awarded in the next convocation. In that case the student will be given
provisional certificate at the time of discontinuing the program and the student
will be admitted to the Degree in the next convocation.
21.3 All regulations for the Ph.D. program with regard to admission, enrollment,
comprehensive examination, registration, and award of degree, etc. are
applicable to these students.
21.4 Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D. student admitted to the Ph.D. program will be treated as
Institute Research student and will receive assistantship as per the MHRD
norms prevailing at the time admission to the Ph.D. program.
21.5 A scholarship of Rs.5,000/- (Rs.Five thousand only) per month for the first two
years of M.Sc. program will be paid to the students who join the Ph.D. program.
The final amount will be released after the Ph.D. registration.

Adviser and Head of the Department. However, on the recommendation
of the Department and approval of the Dean (UGS), a student may be
allowed to take maximum 23 credits. He/She may register for subjects
of P grade along with backlog subjects, with total registered credit not
exceeding the limit of 20/23 as the case may be.
22.6.6 The credits of Industrial Training, field Trips (GG and MI students),
comprehensive viva voce and EAA should be excluded while calculating
the 28 or 16 credit limits per semester for backlog/year repeating
students.
22.6.7 In registration for a subject, prerequisite must be taken care of.
Students may be allowed to take Departmental elective subjects instead
of professional breadth electives.
22.6.8 Registration in the subjects of same slots will not be allowed.
22.6.9 Subject to availability, a student, irrespective of his/her level or
discipline of study may be allowed to take a subject including an
M.Tech. subject as an Elective, Breadth or Additional Subject Students
who have a Backlog in a Breadth or an Elective may register in
another Breadth or Elective. The Elective must be in the same
group of Electives offered in the Semester concerned.
22.6.10 Final year students may be allowed to take prescribed credit and, in
addition, maximum two backlog subjects in a semester provided he has
a CGPA of 6.00 and above so that he/she can clear all requirements of
the degree if otherwise there is no time clash.
22.6.11 Academically Weak Students:
Such students will be divided into two categories based on their
Notional CGPA (calculated on the basis on Total Credit Taken)
A. A student having CGPA < 6.0

B. A student who has more than two backlogs/unregistered subjects
(regardless of CGPA).
The faculty advisors will set up a meeting date every month and it will be
mandatory on the part of the students to attend these meetings. During
the meeting the problems of student will be discussed and measures to
improve their Academic Performance suggested. A report of these
meetings must be recorded on ERP for each student.
The Academic Registration on ERP for all weak students shall be done
through faculty advisor only.
22.6.12 Restriction limits on Registration for Academically Weak
Students
Students will be divided into two categories based on their
Notional CGPA (calculated on the basis on Total Credit Taken)
 Category 1: Students with CGPA >=6.0

 Category 2: Students with CGPA < 6.0
Registration limits will depend on the students’ category and the following limits
will be imposed based on the number of subjects:

Category 1: No restriction on the number of subjects. The student,

however, must register for the Backlog/Unregistered subjects first. A
student may register for a maximum of 24 credits. In case of final year,
where the normal credit loading itself is around 24 credits due to the
Project component, a student may be allowed two backlogs over and
above the prescribed credit limit of the semester.
Category 2: The registered credit in a semester must not exceed 21 in
consultation with Faculty Adviser and Head of the Department. However,
on the recommendation of the Department and approval of the Dean
(UGS), a student may be allowed to take maximum 23 credits. He/She
may register for subjects of P grade along with backlog subjects, with total
registered credit not exceeding the limit of 21/23 as the case may be.
The student must register for the Backlog/Unregistered subjects first.
Students, in this category, will be allowed to register only for one Project at a
time. The credit limit is inclusive of improvement subjects.
22.6.13 Special Case of Architecture (B.Arch.(Hons.) Program)
Students having backlogs in 6th semester shall not be prevented from
being promoted to 5th year (due to their off-campus one-semester
internship in 8th semester). The students, however, must register for the
6th semester backlog subjects first in their 10th semester. The
‘restriction limits for registration’, specified above, shall be applicable for
such students also.
22.5 Students who have cleared all the curricular requirements upto the previous
semester and obtained CGPA lower than 6.00 may be allowed, on the
recommendation of the Head of the Department and the approval of the Dean
(Undergraduate Studies), to re-register in one or more subjects in which he/she
received ‘P’ grade(s), so as to improve his/her CGPA to 6.00 or above, provided
that the subject(s) is/are otherwise being offered in that semester and there is no
clash in the time table. The grade will be revised and recorded only if there is an
improvement.
22.6 A student who has been debarred from appearing at an examination either (i) as
per recommendation of the subject teacher for unsatisfactory attendance or (ii)
by the Institute as a measure of disciplinary action or (iii) for adopting
malpractice at an examination, and consequently awarded a grade ‘X’, may re-
register for the subject(s) after the term of the debarment expires, provided that
other provisions of this regulations do not prevent him.
22.7 With the concurrence of the Faculty Adviser a student may be allowed to change
his/her registration of subjects within one week from the day of registration.

concurrence of the Faculty Adviser, within one week from the day of registration.
22.9 Interdisciplinary Dual Degree in Financial Engineering
Students who are facing time table clash with a Departmental Subject for taking
Economics (HS20001) in Autumn Semester may register for the same in Spring
Semester of 2nd year Dual Degree program.
24. De-registration
23.1 The student can be de-registered in a subject of a semester by the concerned
teacher on the ground of poor attendance.
23.2 If a student does not have a minimum of 80% attendance in a subject,
he/she can be de-registered from the subject at the discretion of the subject

teacher.
23.3 Only one-time de-registration is permissible and no revocation of the
deregistered subject is admissible, expect on genuine medical grounds.
23.4 Email Warning should be given to the students by the subject teacher prior
to de-registration.
23.5 The de-registration process shall commence after the Mid-semester
Examination. However, in case of projects (BTP and MTP for Dual Degree),
comprehensive viva voce and Summer Training/Internship, there is no scope
for de-registration by the concerned teachers.
23.6 The de-registration will stop two weeks before the commencement of the
End Semester Examination (Senate Item 316.H.I.C.6).
25. Grading System
24.1 As a measure of students’ performance a 7-scale grading system using the
following letter grades and corresponding grade points per credit, as shown in
Table 24.1 will be followed:
Table 24.1
Performance Letter Grade Grade point Per Credit
Excellent EX 10
Very good A 9
Good B 8
Fair C 7
Average D 6
Pass P 5
Fail F 0
In addition, there shall be one grading symbol X used to indicate that the
student is Deregistered/Debarred in that particular subject.
A Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be computed for each semester.
The SGPA will be calculated as follows:
n
c g i i
SGPA  i 1
n
c
i 1
i
where ‘n’ is the number of subjects registered and cleared for the semester, ‘ ci ’
is the number of Credits allotted to a particular subject, and ‘ gi ’ is the grade-
points carried by the letter corresponding to the grade awarded to the student
for the subject. SGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and
recorded as such. The SGPA would indicate the performance of the student in
the semester to which it refers.
24.2 Starting from the second semester at the end of each semester S, a Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed for every student as follows:
m
c g i i
CGPA  i 1
m
c
i 1
i

Where ‘m’ is the total number of subjects the student has registered and
cleared from the first semester onwards up to and including the semester S,‘ ci ’
is the number of Credits allotted to a particular subject ‘ si ’ and ‘ g i ’ is the
grade-point carried by the letter corresponding to the grade awarded to the
student for the subject ‘ si ’. CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of
decimal and recorded as such.
The CGPA would indicate the cumulative performance of the student from the
first semester up to the end of the semester to which it refers.
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.
For determining the inter se merit ranking of a group of students, only the
rounded off values of the CGPAs will be used.
 From the batch of 2014-2015 onwards the calculation of SGPA and CGPA
will be based on all the subjects registered.
24.3 When a student gets the grade ‘F’ in any subject during a semester, the SGPA
and the CGPA from that semester onwards will be tentatively calculated, taking
only ‘zero point’ for each such ‘F’ grade. After the ‘F’ grade(s) has/have been
substituted by better grades during a subsequent semester, the SGPA and the
CGPA of all the semesters, starting from the earliest semester in which the ‘F’
grade has been updated, will be recomputed and recorded to take this change of
grade into account.
24.4 Conversion of CGPA into percentage Marks: In case of a specific query by
students/employers regarding conversion of CGPA into percentage marks, the
following formula will be adopted for notional conversion of CGPA into
percentage marks. Formula : % Marks = CGPA*10
(Senate Item 337.G.I.C.6)
26. Assessment of Performance
There will be continuous assessment of a student’s performance throughout the
semester and grades will be awarded by the subject teacher/co-ordination
committee formed for this purpose.
25.1 In general there shall be no rigid marks-to-grade linkage. Difficulty levels of the
examinations, tests, assignments, viva-voce and other factors that contribute to
the final marks are to be considered by the teacher/co-ordination committee of a
subject while converting marks into letter grades.
25.2 (a) The grades F and EX are to be considered as bench mark grades.
(b) The range of cut-off marks below which a student would be assigned an ‘F’
grade is 30-35 for the theory component and 35-40 for the laboratory
component, the exact cut-off marks is to be decided by the teacher/co-
ordination committee.
(c) The exceptionally brilliant performance is to be assigned an ‘EX’ grade. Even
the best student of any class needs to be good enough to be awarded the ‘EX’
grade.
(d)For subjects which have a laboratory component (P-component) along with the
theory, to secure any grade higher than ‘F’ a student has to achieve
individually more than the cut-off marks in both the theory component and

the laboratory component. Separate marks, each out of 100 (hundred), in the
theory component (L- & T- components) and the laboratory component are to
be ascertained first. A composite mark for the subject out of 100 is then to be
computed by taking appropriate contribution of theory component and the
laboratory component as shown in Table 25.1:
Table : 25.1
L-T-P Credit Theory (L-T component) Laboratory (P-component)
4-0-6 8 50 50
3-0-6 7 40 60
4-0-3 6 70 30
3-1-3 6 70 30
1-0-8 6 20 80
3-1-2 5 80 20
3-0-3 5 60 40
3-0-2 4 75 25
2-0-3 4 50 50
1-0-5 4 25 75
2-0-2 3 70 30
1-0-3 3 30 70
1-0-2 2 50 50
 Once the numeric mark is obtained, the same is to be converted to letter grade
following the guidelines given in Table : 25.2.
Table : 25.2
Marks Range (m) Grade
m >= 90 EX
80 <= m < 90 A
70 <= m < 80 B
60 <= m < 70 C
50 <= m < 60 D
40 <= m < 50 P
m < 40 F
25.3 Large Class Assessment: In the case of a relatively large class and/or classes
where the performance level depicts more or less a normal distribution:
(a) The average performance (around mean value of marks) is to be assigned ‘C’
grade. However, if by teacher’s/co-ordination committee’s perception the
general level of the class is considered to be appreciably high, the average
performance may be assigned ‘B’ grade.
(b) All other marks to grade conversion are to be done relatively with respect to
the average performance in between (but excluding) the F and EX grades,
which have already been assigned, by choosing appropriate boundary marks
between grades.
(c) Normally, in a reasonably large class of students distribution of grades is
expected to be as follows:
Table : 25.3
Grade Distribution

EX <= 10%
A 10 – 20 %
B, C, D 20 – 35 %
P 10 – 25 %
F <=5%
25.3.1 In the case where a student appears in the supplementary examination
or attends summer quarter, the conversion from marks to grade would
be done applying the same norm as was framed for the original class.
25.3.2 For classes where excessive bunching occurs resulting in almost all the
marks tending to cluster into same category, conversion from marks to
grade may be done using the Table 23.2, where ‘m’ stands for the marks
obtained. However, the teacher may, on his/her perception of the
difficulty level of assessment process undertaken, alter the boundary
(cut-off) marks by +/- 5 marks.
25.3.3 For subject in which the theory component is greater than 1 (one), the
subcomponents and the respective weights assigned to these are given
below.
Table : 25.4
Subcomponent Weight
Teacher’s Assessment 20%
Mid-Semester Examination 30%
End-Semester Examination 50%
25.3.4 For assigning marks in Teacher’s Assessment (T.A.) performance in

home assignments, class-tests, tutorials, viva-voce, attendance etc., are
to be considered. At least two class tests are to be conducted for a
subject. The weights of different sub-components of T.A. are to be
announced by the teacher at the beginning of the Semester.
25.3.5 For subjects in which the theory component is 1 (one), there would be
no Mid-Semester or End-Semester Examinations. The marks of the
theory component would be decided by performance in class-tests, home
assignments, tutorials (if any), viva-voce, attendance etc. At least two
class tests are to be conducted for the theory component of such a
subject. The weights of different subcomponents are to be announced by
the teacher at the beginning of the Semester.
25.3.6 For assigning marks in the laboratory component (P-component) the

relevant sub-components that are to be considered are day-to-day work,
regularity, tests (at least two must be conducted), assignments, viva-
voce etc. Percentage weights of the different sub-components in deciding
the final marks are to be announced at the beginning of the Semester.
25.4 The eight-week industrial training undergone by the students in the summer
vacation after the sixth semester would be assessed within five weeks after the
commencement of the seventh semester. The students are required to submit a

written report on the training received and give a seminar, on the basis of which
a grade would be awarded. The students are also required to submit to the Head
of the Department a completion certificate in the prescribed form from the
competent authority of the organization where the training was received, without
which he/she would not be assessed.
27. Assessment of Project Work

26.1 Performance in the various activities involved in the project would be assessed
individually at the end of each semester in which it is being carried out as per
the curriculum. The student is required to submit a written report at the end of
the semester. The Head of the Department would appoint a project evaluation
board for the purpose of assessment. The project evaluation board of the tenth
semester for Dual Degree/Integrated M.Sc. program would include an external
expert to be appointed by the Dean (Postgraduate Studies) /Dean
(Undergraduate Studies), from a panel recommended by the Head of the
respective Department. The different components of evaluation and the weights
assigned to these components are depicted below:
Table : 26.1
Subcomponent Weight
Supervisor’s assessment 40%
Project Report/Thesis (to be assessed by the board) 20%
Evaluation Board’s assessment 40%
The student is required to give a seminar on the project work done. The
evaluation board would conduct the viva-voce. Dates for conducting the seminar
and the viva-voce, to be held within ten days after the end-semester examination,
would be announced in the academic calendar.
26.2 The grades for projects of 7th, 8th semesters for B.Tech. and 9th, 10th semesters
for Dual Degree/Integrated M.Sc. have to be submitted within the respective
deadline of grade submission as per Academic Calendar. If a student cannot
complete the project for any reason, by deadline, he/she will get an ‘F’ grade. The
extension of project in a semester can be made with the prior approval by Dean
UGS of the application made by the student through his/her Project Supervisor
and Departmental Head.
The deadline for submission of the grades for the extension availed in projects
allotted in Autumn Semester (7th and 9th Semesters) will be three days before the
registration of the next Spring Semester, while the deadline for submission of the
grades for the extension availed in the projects allotted in the Spring Semester
(8th and 10th Semesters) will be June 30 of the concurrent year. In case of project
extension, a student will be awarded one grade less than that actually obtained
by him/her.
If a student cannot clear the project for the 7th semester, he/she can register the
same along with 8th semester project. In such case, he/she will get one grade
less than that actually obtained in the evaluation of project part I (7th semester
component). The same policy will hold good for 9th and 10th semester projects for
Dual Degree, 5-year Integrated M.Sc. students. A Dual Degree student can
register for 9th semester project even if he/she cannot clear the 8th semester
project.

Under no circumstances a student will be allowed to register for more than two
projects in a semester.
26.3 The Head of the Department would constitute the Viva-Voce Board(s) for
conducting the comprehensive viva-voce examination as per the requirement of
the curriculum. The Board would decide the relative weights of the different
aspects of the viva-voce and decide the grades to be awarded to the students.
The dates of the viva-voce, to be conducted within ten days after the previous
end-semester examination, would be announced in the academic calendar.
28. Examinations
27.1 Mid-Semester and the End-Semester Examinations in respect of the theory
component of the subjects are conducted on the dates specified as per academic
calendar.
27.2 Examination for some subjects are held centrally while for the others it held in
the departments.
27.2.1 A student will be issued an Admit Card for appearing in an
examination, only if he/she has:
27.2.1.1 Paid all Institute and Hall dues of the semester.
27.2.1.2 Not been debarred from appearing in the examination as a result of
disciplinary proceedings.
27.2.2 A student may be debarred from appearing at the Mid-Semester or End-
Semester Examination on the report of a teacher/ chairman, co-
ordination committee, if his/her:
27.2.2.1 Attendance at lecture/tutorial/laboratory classes has not been
satisfactory during the period, and/or,
27.2.2.2 Performance in the assignment works during the semester has not
been satisfactory.
27.3 Attendance in class tests and mid-semester examination:
27.3.1 Class tests, mid-semester examinations, assignments, tutorials, viva-
voce, laboratory assignments, etc., are the constituent components of
continuous assessment process, and a student must fulfill all these
requirements as prescribed by the teacher/co-ordination committee of
the subject. If due to any compelling reason (such as his/her illness,
calamity in the family, etc.) a student fails to meet any of the
requirements within/on the scheduled date and time, the teacher/co-
ordination committee in consultation with the concerned Head of the
Department may take such steps (including conduction of compensatory
tests/examinations) as are deemed fit.
Attendance in end-semester examination:

27.3.3.1 Appearing in the end-semester examination in the theory
component of a subject is compulsory for a student. If a student
fails to appear in the end-semester examination he/she will be
assigned an ‘F’ grade in the subject and will not be permitted to
register in the summer quarter or appear at the supplementary
examination for the subject as stipulated.
27.3.3.2 However, if a student misses the end-semester examination due to
a compelling reason like serious illness of himself/herself or a

calamity in the family, he/she may appeal to the Dean, Students’

Affair, through his/her Head of the Department for permitting
himself/herself to register in the summer quarter or appear at the
supplementary examination(s), as the case may apply. A sub-
committee of the Undergraduate Program & Evaluation Committee
(UGPEC) consisting of the following members may, after examining
the documents and being convinced about the merit of the case,
recommend permitting him/her to register in the summer quarter
and/or appearing in the supplementary examination(s) with full
credit condoning his/her absence:
 The Dean of Students’ Affairs – Chairman
 The Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
 The Head of B. C. Roy Technology Hospital
 One Medical Officer of the B. C. Roy Technology Hospital (preferably
the In-Charge of the indoor patients during the concerned period)
 The Deputy Registrar (Academic) – Secretary
27.4 Students will be permitted to appear in the examinations in only those subjects
for which they have registered at the beginning of the semester and have not
been debarred.
27.5 The final grades awarded to the students in a subject must be submitted by the
teacher/chairman, co-ordination committee, within seven days from the date of
holding the examination to the concerned Head of the Department for onward
transmission to the Assistant Registrar (UGS).
27.6 The evaluation of performance in the Extra Academic Activities (EAA) will be
done by the respective program officers.
27.7 For the benefit of and as a process of learning by the students, the scripts after
correction of all class tests, mid-semester examinations, assignments etc., would
be shown to the students within 20 (twenty) days from the last date of tests/
mid-semester examination. The display of performance records/showing
evaluated answer scripts of the end-semester examination of a subject has to be
made within a maximum period of 9 (nine) days from the last date of the
semester examination specified in the Academic Calendar.
27.8 With a view to assist the students, who failed in one or more subjects in the
autumn and/or spring semester in a year, a Summer Quarter will be conducted
during the immediately following summer vacation for making up their deficiency
and improve the performance.
The regulations for running the Summer Quarter are given in Section - 29.
27.9 In order to provide an additional opportunity to the students who failed (obtained
‘F’ grade) in one or more subjects, due to not being able to score higher than the
cut-off marks in the theory components, in either the autumn and/or the spring
semester in a year, Supplementary Examinations equivalent to the end-semester
examination arranged centrally by the Academic Section, will be conducted in
the month of July (before commencement of the next session) every year.
Regulations relating to the Supplementary Examination are given in Section-28.
29. Supplementary Examination
28.1 A student will be eligible to appear in the supplementary examination in a

subject if he/she actually appeared at the last end-semester examination in that

subject and obtained the grade ‘F’.
28.2 However if a student has been absent in the End Semester examination (a) due
to medical reasons, that are duly certified by B C Roy Technology Hospital or (b)
due to a calamity in the family his/her case will be considered for supplementary
with full credit. In such cases the student must apply in writing to the Dean
(Undergraduate Studies) through the Head of the Department.
28.3 All medical cases will be put up for consideration to the medical board. Only
upon certification by the medical board the student will be granted full credit.
28.4 A student will not be allowed to appear in more than 5 (five) subjects in the
supplementary examinations and Summer Quarter put together.
28.5 Intending students must submit their application, countersigned by the
teacher(s) of the subject(s) or the Head of the Department concerned, along with
the necessary fees to the Academic Section by the date as announced by a
notification.
28.6 The supplementary examinations shall be held on such dates as laid down in the
Academic Calendar for the year or as notified separately.
28.7 The grade in the subject scored by the student appearing in the supplementary
examination will be recomputed by substituting the marks of the end-semester
in the total marks scored by that scored in the supplementary examination.
Unless granted full credit by virtue of Section 28.2 a student is entitled only to
one grade lower than the actual grade thus scored, except that the performance
grade ‘P’ remains unaltered, as elucidated in the table below :
Table : 28.1

on or date specified in the academic calendar.
28.9 With effect from the academic year 2016-2017, only the students of first year
and final year will be eligible to appear in the supplementary examination
in a subject if he/she actually appeared and obtained Grade ‘F’. However, if a
student has been absent in the End Semester examination (a) due to medical
reason, duly certified by B.C. Roy Technology Hospital or (b) due to a calamity in
the family, he/she will be considered for the supplementary examination with
full credit. In such cases, the student must apply in writing with relevant
documents to the Dean (Undergraduate Studies) through the Head of the
Department before a given deadline.
28.10 With effect from the academic year 2016-17, a student other than first year
and final year who has been absent in the End Semester examination (a) due to
medical reasons, duly certified by B C Roy Technology Hospital or (b) due to a
calamity in the family will be eligible for re-examination to make up the end
semester examination with full credit. In such cases, the student must apply in
writing with relevant documents to the Dean (Undergraduate Studies) through
the Head of the Department before a given deadline.

28.11 As per the decision of 328th Senate meeting dated 14th March, 2019

2) Allotment of projects will be done once the list of students who opt for BTP are available in the 6th semester.
3) If a student opted BTP‐I in Autumn Semester, then the faculty supervisor should inform the student whether
BTP‐II is necessary in the Spring Semester.

4) After Autumn Semester, the student will have two options :
I. The student can continue with BTP‐II as an extension of BTP‐I in the Spring Semester,
OR
II. The student will be allowed to take theory subjects of equivalent credit in the Spring Semester in lieu of BTP‐II,
if there is no condition is attached by faculty supervisor at the beginning.
5) A student who does not opt for BTP, must take subjects of equivalent credit in both Autumn and Spring
Semester
6) A student can also register for B.Tech. projects in other departments (with necessary approval of the Head of
the Department in which he/she is originally enrolled, and the Head of the Department in which he/she wants to
pursue B.Tech. project), and in that case, the project will be evaluated by the department where the student is
pursuing the project, in both the semesters.
