PREAMBLE

I. INTRODUCTION
Higher education is very important for the growth and development of any country. It is a living
organ and requires continuous changes to ensure the quality of education. National Knowledge
Commission and University Grants Commission have recommended many academic reforms to
address the challenges of today’s networked globalized world. People are coming together with the
help of new technologies which is resulting towards new aspirations, expectations, collaborations and
associations. The concept of “work in isolation” may not be relevant and significant anymore. The
UGC guidelines on adoption of Choice Based Credit System may be an important step to revamp the
processes, systems and methodologies of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). The teacher centric
mode be changed to learner centric mode. Classroom teaching and learning be made effective;
relevant and interesting. Concepts and theories be explained with examples, experimentation and
related applications.

A culture of discussions, arguments, interpretations, counter-interpretations, re-interpretations,

opposing interpretations must be established. Research should not only be confined to redefinition,
extension and incremental change. Innovation & creativity should become an epicentre for all
research initiatives. The most important capital is the human capital and thus the ultimate objective
is to develop good human beings with utmost integrity & professionalism for this new world.

The Choice Based Credit System supports the grading system which is considered to be better than
conventional marks system. It is followed in many reputed institutions in India and abroad. The
uniform grading system facilitates student mobility across the institutions within and across the
countries and also enable potential employers to assess the performance of the students. The Choice
Based Credit System makes the curriculum interdisciplinary and bridge the gap between professional
and liberal education.

II. CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

The Indian Higher Education Institutions have been moving from the conventional annual system to
semester system. Currently many of the institutions have already introduced the choice based credit
system. The semester system accelerates the teaching-learning process and enables vertical and
horizontal mobility in learning. The credit based semester system provides flexibility in designing
curriculum and assigning credits based on the course content and hours of teaching. The choice

SCHEME OF COURSES – M.TECH. (INFORMATION SYSTEMS)

based credit system provides a ‘cafeteria’ type approach in which the students can take courses of
their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses and acquire more than the required
credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning. It is desirable that the HEIs move to
CBCS and implement the grading system.

A. Types of Courses
Courses are the subjects that comprise the M.Tech. programme.

1. A course may be designed to comprise lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, field work, outreach
activities, project work, vocational training, viva voce, seminars, term papers, assignments,
presentations, self-study etc. or a combination of some of these components.

2. The learning objectives and learning outcomes of each course will be defined before the start of
a semester.

3. Courses are of two kinds: Core and Elective.

i. Core Course (CC): This is a course which is to be compulsorily studied by a student as a

core requirement to complete the requirement of B.E. Computer Engineering.

ii. Elective Course: An elective course is a course which can be chosen from a pool of
subjects. 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/skill. An elective may be of following types:

a) Discipline Centric Elective (ED): It is an elective course that adds proficiency

to the students in the discipline.

b) Open Elective (EO): It is an elective course taken from other engineering

disciplines that broadens the perspective of an Engineering student.

4. Each course contributes certain credits to the programme. A course can be offered either as a full
course (4 credits) or as a half course (2 credits). A full course is conducted with 3 hours of
lectures and either 1 hour of tutorial or 2 hours of practical work per week. A half course is
conducted with 2 hours of lectures.

5. A student of Postgraduate programme has to accumulate about 40% credits from the Core
Courses and the remaining credits from the Elective Courses to become eligible for the award of
degree/ diploma/ certificate programmes.

 Appendix - XIV

SCHEME OF COURSES – M.TECH. (INFORMATION SYSTEMS)

6. A course (full/half) may also be designed without lectures or tutorials. However, such courses
may comprise Field work, Outreach activities, Project work, Vocational Training, Seminars, Self-
study etc. or a combination of some of these.

7. A Project work/Dissertation is considered as a special course involving application of the

knowledge gained during the course of study in exploring, analyzing and solving complex
problems in real life applications. A candidate completes such a course on his own with an
advisory support by a teacher/faculty member.

B. Examination and Assessment

The following system will be implemented in awarding grades and CGPA under the CBCS
system.

1. Letter Grades and Grade Points: A 10-point grading system shall be used with the letter
grades as given in Table 1 below:

Table1:Grades and Grade Points

Letter Grade Grade point

O (Outstanding) 10

A+ (Excellent) 9
A (Very Good) 8
B+ (Good) 7

B (Above average) 6
C (Average) 5

P (Pass) 4

F (Fail) 0
Ab (absent) 0

2. Mapping of marks and grades: In consonance with the absolute grading system, the marks
obtained by a student will be converted to grades. The following mapping is given in Table 2,
shall be used for awarding grades under the absolute grading system:

"This M. Tech. course has been passed in FOT meeting held on 24th February 2016." Page 5

1416/Appendices/AC-Minutes/2016-17
 Appendix - XIV

SCHEME OF COURSES – M.TECH. (INFORMATION SYSTEMS)

3. Fail grade: A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required to
reappear in the examination. If the student does not want to reappear in an elective subject
(that is ED or EO but not CC courses) then he/she can re-register afresh for a new elective
subject.
4. Non-credit course: For non-credit courses, ‘Satisfactory’ or “Unsatisfactory’ shall be
indicated instead of the letter grade and this will not be counted for the computation of
SGPA/CGPA.
5. Fairness in Assessment: The CBCS promotes continuous evaluation system where end
semester examinations weightage should not be more than 60%. The Departments should
design their own methods for continuous evaluation. They have the flexibility and freedom in
designing the examination and evaluation methods that best fits the curriculum, syllabi &
teaching, learning methods. In this regard, checks and balances will be implemented to fair
and effective assessment and examination process.
6. Computation of SGPA and CGPA: The following procedure be used to compute the
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
i. The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade
points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the
number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, that is:

Where Si is the ithsemester Cj is the number of credits of the jth course of the semester
and Gj is the grade point scored by the student in the jth course.

ii. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses
undergone by a student overall the semesters of a programme, that is:

Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that
semester.

iii. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the
transcripts.
