INDUCTION PROGRAM
Please refer Appendix IV for guidelines.
The Essence and Details of Induction program can also be understood from the ‘Detailed Guide on
Student Induction program’, as available on AICTE Portal, although that is for UG students of Engi-
neering & Technology (Link:https://www.aicteindia.org/sites/default/files/Detailed%20Guide%20on%20
Student%20Induction%20program.pdf).

Induction program (mandatory) Two-week duration

Induction program for students to be • Physical activity

offered right at the start of the first • Creative Arts
year. • Universal Human Values
• Literary
• Proficiency Modules
• Lectures by Eminent People
• Visits to local Areas
• Familiarization to Dept./Branch & Innovations

F. Mandatory Visits/Workshop/Expert Lectures:

 G. Evaluation Scheme (Suggestive only):

a. For Theory Courses:

(The weightage of Internal assessment is 40% and for End Semester Exam is 60%)
The student has to obtain at least 40% marks individually both in internal assessment
and end semester exams to pass.

b. For Practical Courses:

(The weightage of Internal assessment is 60% and for End Semester Exam is 40%)
The student has to obtain at least 40% marks individually both in internal assessment
and end semester exams to pass.

c. For Summer Internship / Projects / Seminar etc.

Evaluation is based on work done, quality of report, performance in viva-voce, presen-

tation etc.

Note: The internal assessment is based on the student’s performance in mid semester tests
(two best out of three), quizzes, assignments, class performance, attendance, viva-voce in prac-
tical, lab record etc.

H. Mapping of Marks to Grades

Each course (Theory/Practical) is to be assigned 100 marks, irrespective of the number of

credits, and the mapping of marks to grades may be done as per the following table:

Range of Assigned Grade

Marks
91-100 AA/A+
81-90 AB/A
71-80 BB/B+
61-70 BC/B
51-60 CC/C+
46-50 CD/C
40-45 DD/D
< 40 FF/F (Fail due to less marks)
- FR (Fail due to shortage of attendance and therefore, to repeat the
course)
