 PREFACE
An important issue generally debated amongst the planners and educator’s world over is
how technical education can contribute to sustainable development of the societies
struggling hard to come in the same bracket as that of the developed nations. The rapid
industrialization and globalization have created an environment for free flow of
information and technology through fast and efficient means. This has led to shrinking
of the world, bringing people from different culture and environment together and giving
rise to the concept of world turning into a global village. In India, a shift has taken place
from the forgettable years of closed economy to knowledge based and open economy in
the last few decades. In order to cope with the challenges of handling new technologies,
materials and methods, we have to develop human resources having appropriate
professional knowledge, skills and attitude. Technical education system is one of the
significant components of the human resource development and has grown
phenomenally during all these years. Now it is time to consolidate and infuse quality
aspect through developing human resources, in the delivery system. Polytechnics play an
important role in meeting the requirements of trained technical manpower for industries
and field organizations. The initiatives being taken by the Technical Education, UP to
revise the existing curricula of diploma programmes as per the needs of the industry and
making them NSQF compliant, are laudable.
In order to meet the requirements of future technical manpower, we will have to revamp
our existing technical education system and one of the most important requirements is to
develop outcome-based curricula of diploma programmes. The curricula for diploma
programmes have been revised by adopting time-tested and nationally acclaimed
scientific method, laying emphasis on the identification of learning outcomes of diploma
programme.
The real success of the diploma programme depends upon its effective implementation.
However best the curriculum document is designed, if that is not implemented properly,
the output will not be as expected. In addition to acquisition of appropriate physical
resources, the availability of motivated, competent and qualified faculty is essential for
effective implementation of the curricula.
It is expected of the polytechnics to carry out job market research on a continuous basis
to identify the new skill requirements, reduce or remove outdated and redundant courses,
develop innovative methods of course offering and thereby infuse the much-needed
dynamism in the system

RATIONALE

Major Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply in totality
the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution of particular problem or by
undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to place students for project oriented
practical training in actual work situation for the stipulated period.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After undergoing the project work, students will be able to:

Apply in totality the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution of
particular problem or by undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to place the
learner for project oriented practical training in actual work situation for the stipulated period with a view
to:
• Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of field-work in
which students are going to play their role after completing the courses of study
• Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the classroom in the context of its
application at work places.
• Develop firsthand experience and confidence amongst the students to enable them to use and
apply polytechnic/institute based knowledge and skills to solve practical problems related to the
world of work.
• Develop abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skills, positive attitudes and values etc.
General Guidelines
The individual students have different aptitudes and strengths. Project work, therefore, should match the
strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to identify the type of project work, they
would like to execute. The activity of problem identification should begin well in advance (say at the
end of second year). Students should be allotted a problem of interest to him/her as a major project work.
It is also essential that the faculty of the respective department may have a brainstorming session to
identify suitable project assignments for their students. The project assignment can be individual
assignment or a group assignment. There should not be more than 3 students if the project work is given
to a group. The project work identified in collaboration with industry should be preferred.
This practical training cum project work should not be considered as merely conventional industrial
training in which students are sent at work places with either minimal or no supervision. This experience
is required to be planned in advance and supervised on regular basis by the polytechnic faculty. For the
fulfillment of above objectives, polytechnics may establish close linkage with 8-10 relevant organization
for providing such an experience to students. It is necessary that each organization is visited well in
advance and activities to be performed by students are well defined. The chosen activities should be such
that it matches with the curricular interest to students and of professional value to industrial/ field
organizations. Each teacher is expected to supervise and guide 5-6 students.
The projects given to students should be such for which someone is waiting for solution. Some of the
suggested project activities are given below:

 At the end of the project student will submit a written report of his/ their accomplishment and
face a viva voce examination individually.

NOTE: Each student has to take one project individually and one to be shared with a group of four-five
students depending upon cost and time involved. There is no binding to take up the above projects as it
is only a suggestive list of projects.

11.. EVALUATION STRATEGY

11.1 INTRODUCTION

Evaluation plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. The major objective of any
teaching-learning endeavor is to ensure the quality of the product which can be accessed through
learner’s evaluation.

The purpose of student evaluation is to determine the extent to which the general and the specific
objectives of curriculum have been achieved. Student evaluation is also important from the point of
view of ascertaining the quality of instructional processes and to get feedback for curriculum
improvement. It helps the teachers in determining the level of appropriateness of teaching
experiences provided to learners to meet their individual and professional needs. Evaluation also
helps in diagnosing learning difficulties of the students. Evaluation is of two types: Formative and
Summative (Internal and External Evaluation)

Formative Evaluation

It is an on-going evaluation process. Its purpose is to provide continuous and comprehensive

feedback to students and teachers concerning teaching-learning process. It provides correctivesteps
to be taken to account for curricular as well as co-curricular aspects.

Summative Evaluation

It is carried out at the end of a unit of instruction like topic, subject, semester or year. The main
purpose of summative evaluation is to measure achievement for assigning course grades,
certification of students and ascertaining accountability of instructional process. The student
evaluation has to be done in a comprehensive and systematic manner since any mistake or lacuna
is likely to affect the future of students.

In the present educational scenario in India, where summative evaluation plays an important role in
educational process, there is a need to improve the standard of summative evaluation with a view to
bring validity and reliability in the end-term examination system for achieving objectivity and
efficiency in evaluation.

11.2 STUDENTS’ EVALUATION AREAS

The student evaluation is carried out for the following areas:

Theory
Practical Work (Laboratory, Workshop, Field Exercises)
Project Work
Professional Industrial Training

 A. Theory

Evaluation in theory aims at assessing students’ understanding of concepts, principles and

procedures related to a course/subject, and their ability to apply learnt principles and solve
problems. The formative evaluation for theory subjects may be caused through sessional /class-tests,
home-assignments, tutorial-work, seminars, and group discussions etc. For end-term evaluation of
theory, the question paper may comprise of three sections.

Section-I

It should contain objective type items e.g. multiple choice, matching and completion type. Total
weightage to Section- 1 should be of the order of 20 percent of the total marks and no choice
should be given in this section. The objective type items should be used to evaluate students’
performance in knowledge, comprehension and at the most application domains only.

Section-II

It should contain short answer/completion items. The weightage to this section should be of the
order of 40 percent of the total marks. Again, no choice should be given in section-II

Section-III

It may contain two to three essay type questions. Total weightage to this section should be of theorder
of 40 percent of the total marks. Some built-in, internal choice of about 50 percent of the questions
set, can be given in this section

Table II : Suggested Weightage to be given to different ability levels

Abilities Weightage to be assigned

Knowledge 10-30 percent
Comprehension 40-60 percent
Application 20-30 percent
Higher than application i.e. Analysis, Upto 10 percent
Synthesis and Evaluation

B. Practical Work

Evaluation of students performance in practical work (Laboratory experiments, Workshop

practicals/field exercises) aims at assessing students ability to apply or practice learnt concepts,
principles and procedures, manipulative skills, ability to observe and record, ability to interpret and
draw conclusions and work related attitudes. Formative and summative evaluation may comprise
of weightages to performance on task, quality of product, general behaviour and it should be
followed by viva-voce.

Page 75 of 80
 C. Project Work

The purpose of evaluation of project work is to assess students ability to apply, in an integrated
manner, learnt knowledge and skills in solving real life problems, manipulative skills, ability to
observe, record, creativity and communication skills. The formative and summative evaluation may
comprise of weightage to nature of project, quality of product, quality of report and quality of
presentation followed by viva-voce.

D. Professional Industrial Training

Evaluation of professional industrial training report and viva-voce/ presentation aims at assessing
students’ understanding of materials, industrial processes, practices in the industry/field and their
ability to engage in activities related to problem-solving in industrial setting as well as
understanding of application of learnt knowledge and skills in real life situation. The formative
and summative evaluation may comprise of weightages to performance in testing, general
behaviour, quality of report and presentation during viva-voce.

10.3 ASPECTS OF QUESTION PAPER SETTING

Validity and reliability are the most important considerations in the selection and construction of
evaluation procedures. First and foremost are the evaluation tools to measure the specific outcomes
for which they are intended to measure. Next in importance is reliability, and followingthat is a
host of practical features that can be classified under the heading of usability.

For weightage of marks assigned to formative (internal) and summative (external) evaluation and
duration of evaluation has been given in the study and evaluation scheme of the curriculum
document. Teachers/Paper-setters/Examiners may use Manual for Students’ Evaluation developed
by IRDT U.P. Kanpur to bring objectivity in the evaluation system. The working group found it very
difficult to detail out precisely the contents of subject on languages and therefore teachers may send
guidelines to respective examiners for paper setting to maintain objectivity in evaluation.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM
IMPLEMENTATION

This curriculum document is a Plan of Action (POA) and has been prepared based on
exhaustive exercise of curriculum planning and design. The representative sample
comprising selected senior personnel (lecturers and HODs) from various institutions and
experts from industry/field have been involved in curriculum design process.

The document so prepared is now ready for its implementation. It is the faculty of
polytechnics who have to play a vital role in planning instructional experiences for the
courses in four different environments viz. class-room, laboratory, library and field and
execute them in right perspective. It is emphasized that a proper mix of different teaching
methods in all these places of instruction only can bring the changes in stipulated students
behaviour as in the curriculum document. It is important for the teachers to understand
curriculum document holistically and further be aware of intricacies of teaching-learning
process (T-L) for achieving curriculum objectives. Given below are certain suggestions
which may help the teachers in planning and designing learning experiences effectively.
These are indicative in nature and teachers using their creativity can further develop/refine
them. The designers of the programme suggest every course teacher to readthem carefully,
comprehend and start using them.

(A) Broad Suggestions:

1. Curriculum implementation takes place at programme, course and class-room level

respectively and synchronization among them is required for its success. The first step
towardsachieving synchronization is to read curriculum document holistically and
understand its rationaleand philosophy.

2. State Board of Technical Education (BTE) may make the academic plan available
to all polytechnics well in advance. The Principals have a great role to play in its
dissemination and, percolation upto grass-root level. Polytechnics in turn are supposed to
prepareinstitutional academic plan by referring state level BTE plan.

3. HOD of every Programme Department along with HODs and in charges of other
departments viz. English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry etc. are required to prepare academic
plan atdepartment level referring institutional academic plan.

4. All lecturers/Senior lecturers are required to prepare course level and class
level lessonplans referring departmental academic plan.

(B) Course Level Suggestions

Teachers are educational managers at class room level and their success in achieving
course level objectives lies in using course plan and their judicious execution which is very
important for the success of programme by achieving its objectives.

CORRECTED AND APPROVED BY BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION U.P.,

LUCKNOW IN CDC MEETING HELD ON 19.08.2023
Page 77 of 80
 Polytechnic teachers are required to plan various instructional experiences viz.
theory lecture, expert lectures, lab/workshop practicals, guided library exercises, field
visits, study tours,camps etc. In addition, they have to carry out progressive assessment of
theory, assignments, library, practicals and field experiences. Teachers are also required to
do all these activities withina stipulated period of 16 weeks which is made available to them
in the academic plan at BTE level. With the amount of time to their credit, it is essential for
them to use it judiciously by planning all above activities properly and ensure execution of
the plan effectively.

Following is the gist of suggestions for subject teachers to carry out T-L process
effectively:

1. Teachers are required to prepare a course plan, taking into account departmental
academic plan, number of weeks available, course to be taught, different learning
experiences required to bedeveloped etc.

2. Teachers are required to prepare lesson plan for every theory class. This plan may
comprise of content to be covered, learning material (transparencies, VCDs, Models etc.) for
execution of a lesson plan. They may follow steps for preparing lesson plan e.g. drawing
attention, state instructional objectives, help in recalling pre-requisite knowledge, deliver
planned subject content, check desired learning outcome and reinforce learning etc.

3. Teachers are required to plan for expert lectures from field/industry. Necessary steps
are to plan in advance, identify field experts, make correspondence to invite them, take
necessary budgetary approval etc.

4. Teachers are required to plan for guided library exercises by identification of

course specific experience requirement, setting time, assessment, etc. The tutorial,
assignment andseminar can be thought of as terminal outcome of library experiences.

5. Concept and content-based field visits with appropriate releases (day-block) may be
planned and executed for such content of course which otherwise is abstract in nature and
no otherrequisite resources are readily available in institute to impart them effectively.

6. There is a dire need for planning practical experiences in right perspective. These
slots in acourse are the avenues to use problem-based learning/activity learning/ experiential
learning approach effectively. The development of lab instruction sheets for the course is a
good beginningto provide lab experiences effectively.

7. Planning of progressive assessment encompasses periodical assessment in semester,

preparation of proper quality question paper, assessment of answer sheets immediately and
giving constructive explicit feedback to every student. It has to be planned properly;
otherwise very purpose of the same is lost.

8. The co-curricular activities like camp, social gathering, study tour, hobby club etc.
may be used to develop generic skills like task management, problem solving, managing self,
collaboratingwith others etc.

9. Where ever possible, it is essential to use activity based learning rather than relying
on delivery based conventional teaching all the time.

10. While imparting instructions, emphasis may be laid on the

development of cognitive, psychomotor, reactive and interactive
skills in the students.

11. Teachers may take working drawings from the industry/field and provide
practices inreading these drawings.

12. Considerable emphasis should be laid in discipline specific contracting and

repair andmaintenance of machines, tools and installations.

13. Teachers may take initiative in establishing liaison with industries

and field organizations for imparting field experiences to their
students.

14. Case studies and assignments may be given to students for understanding of
EnterpriseResource Management (ERM).

15. Students be made aware about issues related to ecology and environment, safety,
concernfor wastage of energy and other resources etc.

16. Students may be given relevant and well thought out minor and major project
assignments,which are purposeful and develop practical skills. This will help students in
developing creativity and confidence for their gainful employment (wage and self).

17. A Project bank may be developed by the concerned department of the polytechnics
in consultation with related Industry, Research Institutes and other relevant field
organizations in thestate.
