MESSAGE
The quality of technical education depends on many factors but largely on- outcome
based socially and industrially relevant curriculum, good quality motivated faculty,
teaching learning process, effective industry internship and evaluation of students
based on desired outcomes. Therefore, it was imperative that a Model Curriculum be
prepared by best experts from academia and industry, keeping in view the latest
industry trends and market requirements and be made available to all universities /
board of technical education and engineering institutions in the country. AICTE
constituted team of experts to prepare the model curriculum of UG Degree Course in
Computer Science and Engineering Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
(AIML) Engineering. Similar exercise is done for other UG, Diploma and PG level in
engineering, MBA, PGDM, Architecture, etc.
It comprises of basic science and engineering courses, having focus on fundamentals,
significant discipline level courses and ample electives both from the disciplines and
cross disciplines including emerging areas all within a cumulative structure of 165
credits. Summer Internships have been embedded to make the student understand
the industry requirements and have hands on experience. Virtual Labs has been
introduced for few experiments. Also, most courses have been mapped to its
equivalent SWAYAM/NPTEL Course to offer an alternative for learning that course
online from SWAYAM. These features will allow students to develop a problem-
solving approach to face the challenges in the future and develop outcome based
learning approach.
As a major initiative by AICTE, a three-week mandatory induction program for
students has also been designed and has to be given at the beginning of the course.
The idea behind this is to make the students feel comfortable in their new
environment, open them up, set a healthy daily routine, develop awareness,
sensitivity and understanding of the self, people around them, society at large, and
nature.
AICTE places on record, special thanks to Prof. Rajesh K. Bhatia from Punjab
Engineering College, Prof. Ajay Mittal from Punjab University, Dr. Varun Dutt from IIT
Mandi, Ms. Manisha from Education Infosys Ltd, and Dr. Manish Kumar Punjab
Engineering College. We are sure that this Model Curriculum will help to enhance not
just the employability skills but will also enable youngsters to become job creators.
We strongly urge the institutions / universities / boards of technical education in
India to adopt this Model Curriculum at the earliest. This is a suggestive curriculum
and the concerned university / institution / board should build on and exercise
flexibility in readjustment of courses within the overall 165 credits.

PREFACE

Taking cognizance of growing concern about quality of technical education in India,

AICTE in its 49th council meeting held on 14.03.2017 approved a package of measures
for improving quality of technical education - Revision of Curriculum, Mandatory
Internship, and Student Induction Program were amongst the few.
AICTE constituted committee of academia industry experts to prepare model
curriculum of UG Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial Intelligence
and Machine Learning (AIML) Engineering. During the development of curriculum,
the employability and employment opportunities for graduates, future ready
workforce who will be skilled enough to handle the rapid growth in the field of
Computer Science and Engineering specialization in Artificial Intelligence and
Machine Learning (AIML) were kept in mind.
AICTE has introduced mandatory internship in the new curriculum which will equip
the students with practical understanding and training about industry practices in a
suitable industry or organization. In the course of development of model curriculum,
the committee took feedback of industry experts on the draft curriculum and
accordingly modified the draft before finalization. This exercise has ensured that
essential emphasis on industry requirements and market trends, employability and
problem solving approach is given.
After due deliberations, the scheme and syllabus have been formulated. Salient
features of this model curriculum are enumerated as under:
• Reduced number of credits.
• Introduction of Student Induction Program.
• Well defined learning objectives & outcomes for each course.
• Inclusion of courses on socially relevant topics.
• Built-in flexibility to the students in terms of professional elective and open
elective courses.
• Mandatory internship to equip the students with practical knowledge and
provide them exposure to real time industrial environments.
• Virtual Labs.
• Mapping of Courses to its equivalent NPTEL/SWAYAM Course.
• Course on ‘Entrepreneurship and Startups’ to encourage entrepreneurial
mindset.
• Introduction of Design Thinking and Universal Human Value course.

HSMC (H-102) Universal Human Values-II: 2L:1T:0P 3 Credits

Understanding Harmony And
Ethical Human Conduct

Pre-requisites: None. Universal Human Values 1 (Desirable)

1-COURSES ON HUMAN VALUES

During the Induction Program, students would get an initial exposure to human values
through Universal Human Values-I. This exposure is to be augmented by this compulsory full
semester foundation course.

Objectives of UHV-II Course

This introductory course input is intended:
1. To help the students appreciate the essential complementarily between 'VALUES' and
'SKILLS' to ensure sustained happiness and prosperity which are the core aspirations
of all human beings.
2. To facilitate the development of a Holistic perspective among students towards life
and profession as well as towards happiness and prosperity based on a correct
understanding of the Human reality and the rest of existence. Such a holistic
perspective forms the basis of Universal Human Values and movement towards value-
based living in a natural way.
3. To highlight plausible implications of such a Holistic understanding in terms of ethical
human conduct, trustful and mutually fulfilling human behavior and mutually
enriching interaction with Nature.
Thus, this course is intended to provide a much-needed orientational input in value education
to the young enquiring minds.

Salient Features of the Course

The salient features of this course are:
1. It presents a universal approach to value education by developing the right
understanding of reality (i.e. a worldview of the reality “as it is”) through the process
of self-exploration.
2. The whole course is presented in the form of a dialogue whereby a set of proposals
about various aspects of the reality are presented and the students are encouraged to
self-explore the proposals by verifying them on the basis of their natural acceptance
within oneself and validate experientially in living.
3. The prime focus throughout the course is toward affecting a qualitative
transformation in the life of the student rather than just a transfer of information.
4. While introducing the holistic worldview and its implications, a critical appraisal of
the prevailing notions is also made to enable the students discern the difference on
their own right.

Course Methodology
1. The methodology of this course is explorational and thus universally adaptable. It
involves a systematic and rational study of the human being vis-à-vis the rest of
existence.

45
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

2. The course is in the form of 28 lectures (discussions) and 14 practice sessions.

3. It is free from any dogma or value prescriptions.
4. It is a process of self-investigation and self-exploration, and not of giving sermons.
Whatever is found as truth or reality is stated as a proposal and the students are
facilitated to verify it in their own right, based on their Natural Acceptance and
subsequent Experiential Validation – the whole existence is the lab and every activity
is a source of reflection.
5. This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the teacher and
the students to begin with, and then to continue within the student in every activity,
leading to continuous self-evolution.
6. This self-exploration also enables them to critically evaluate their pre-conditionings
and present beliefs.

2-COURSE TOPICS

The course has 28 lectures and 14 tutorials in 5 modules. The lectures and tutorials are of 01-
hour duration. Tutorial sessions are to be used to explore and practice what has been
proposed during the lecture sessions.
The Teacher’s Manual provides the outline for lectures as well as practice sessions. The
teacher is expected to present the issues to be discussed as propositions and encourage the
students to have a dialogue.
The syllabus for the lectures and practice sessions is given below:

Module 1 – Introduction to Value Education (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice

session)

Lecture 1: Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facility (Holistic

Development and the Role of Education)
Lecture 2: Understanding Value Education
Tutorial 1: Practice Session PS1 Sharing about Oneself
Lecture 3: Self-exploration as the Process for Value Education
Lecture 4: Continuous Happiness and Prosperity – the Basic Human Aspirations
Tutorial 2: Practice Session PS2 Exploring Human Consciousness
Lecture 5: Happiness and Prosperity – Current Scenario
Lecture 6: Method to Fulfill the Basic Human Aspirations
Tutorial 3: Practice Session PS3 Exploring Natural Acceptance

Expected outcome:
The students start exploring themselves: get comfortable with each other and with the
teacher; they start appreciating the need and relevance for the course.
The students start finding that technical education without study of human values can
generate more problems than solutions. They also start feeling that lack of understanding of
human values is the root cause of most of the present-day problems; and a sustained solution
could emerge only through understanding of value-based living. Any solution brought out
through fear, temptation of dogma will not be sustainable.

46
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

The students are able to see that verification on the basic of natural acceptance and
experiential validation through living is the only way to verify right or wrong, and referring to
any external source like text or instrument or any other person cannot enable them to verify
with authenticity; it will only develop assumptions.
The students are able to see that their practice in living is not in harmony with their natural
acceptance most of the time, and all they need to do is to refer to their natural acceptance to
overcome this disharmony.
The students are able to see that lack of right understanding leading to lack of relationship is
the major cause of problems in their family and not the lack of physical facility in most of the
cases, while they have given higher priority to earning of physical facility in their life giving
less value to or even ignoring relationships and not being aware that right understanding is
the most important requirement for any human being.

Module 2 – Harmony in the Human Being (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice
session)
Lecture 7: Understanding Human being as the Co-existence of the Self and the Body
Lecture 8: Distinguishing between the Needs of the Self and the Body
Tutorial 4: Practice Session PS4 Exploring the difference of Needs of Self and Body
Lecture 9: The Body as an Instrument of the Self
Lecture 10: Understanding Harmony in the Self
Tutorial 5: Practice Session PS5 Exploring Sources of Imagination in the Self
Lecture 11: Harmony of the Self with the Body
Lecture 12: Programme to ensure self-regulation and Health
Tutorial 6: Practice Session PS6 Exploring Harmony of Self with the Body

Expected outcome:

The students are able to see that they can enlist their desires and the desires are not vague.
Also they are able to relate their desires to ‘I’ and ‘Body’ distinctly. If any desire appears
related to both, they are able to see that the feeling is related to I while the physical facility is
related to the body. They are also able to see that ‘I’ and Body are two realities, and most of
their desires are related to ‘I’ and not body, while their efforts are mostly centered on the
fulfilment of the needs of the body assuming that it will meet the needs of ‘I’ too.
The students are able to see that all physical facility they are required for a limited time in a
limited quantity. Also, they are able to see that in case of feelings, they want continuity of the
naturally acceptable feelings and they do not want feelings which are not naturally acceptable
even for a single moment.
The students are able to see that activities like understanding, desire, though and selection
are the activities of ‘I’ only the activities like breathing, palpitation of different parts of the
body are fully the activities of the body with the acceptance of ‘I’ while the activities they do
with their sense organs like hearing through ears, seeing through eyes, sensing through touch,
tasting through tongue and smelling through nose or the activities they do with their work
organs like hands, legs etc. are such activities that require the participation of both ‘I’ and
body.

47
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

The students become aware of their activities of ‘I’ and start finding their focus of attention at
different moments. Also they are able to see that most of their desires are coming from
outside (through preconditioning or sensation) and are not based on their natural acceptance
The students are able to list down activities related to proper upkeep of the body and practice
them in their daily routine. They are also able to appreciate the plants wildly growing in and
around the campus which can be beneficial in curing different diseases.

Module 3 – Harmony in the Family and Society (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice
session)

Lecture 13: Harmony in the Family – the Basic Unit of Human Interaction
Lecture 14: 'Trust' – the Foundational Value in Relationship
Tutorial 7: Practice Session PS7 Exploring the Feeling of Trust
Lecture 15: 'Respect' – as the Right Evaluation
Tutorial 8: Practice Session PS8 Exploring the Feeling of Respect
Lecture 16: Other Feelings, Justice in Human-to-Human Relationship
Lecture 17: Understanding Harmony in the Society
Lecture 18: Vision for the Universal Human Order
Tutorial 9: Practice Session PS9 Exploring Systems to fulfil Human Goal

Expected outcome:

The students are able to note that the natural acceptance (intention) is always for living in
harmony, only competence is lacking! We generally evaluate ourselves on the basis of our
intention and others on the basis of their competence! We seldom look at our competence and
others’ intention as a result we conclude that I am a good person and other is a bad person.
The students are able to see that respect is right evaluation, and only right evaluation leads to
fulfilment in relationship. Many present problems in the society are an outcome of
differentiation (lack of understanding of respect), like gender biasness, generation gap, caste
conflicts, class struggle, dominations through power play, communal violence, clash of isms
and so on so forth. All these problems can be solved by realizing that the other is like me as he
has the same natural acceptance, potential and program to ensure a happy and prosperous
life for them and for others through he may have different body, physical facility or beliefs.
The students are able to use their creativity for education children. The students are able to
see that they can play a role in providing value education for children. They are able to put in
simple words the issues that are essential to understand for children and comprehensible to
them. The students are able to develop an outline of holistic model for social science and
compare it with the existing model.

Module 4 – Harmony in the Nature/Existence (4 lectures and 2 tutorials for practice

session)
Lecture 19: Understanding Harmony in the Nature
Lecture 20: Interconnectedness, self-regulation and Mutual Fulfilment among the
Four Orders of Nature
Tutorial 10: Practice Session PS10 Exploring the Four Orders of Nature

Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

Lecture 21: Realizing Existence as Co-existence at All Levels

Lecture 22: The Holistic Perception of Harmony in Existence
Tutorial 11: Practice Session PS11 Exploring Co-existence in Existence

Expected outcome:

The students are able to differentiate between the characteristics and activities of different
orders and study the mutual fulfilment among them. They are also able to see that human
being s are not fulfilling to other orders today and need to take appropriate steps to ensure
right participation (in terms of nurturing, protection and right utilization) in the nature.
The students feel confident that they can understand the whole existence; nothing is a
mystery in this existence. They are also able to see the interconnectedness in the nature, and
point out how different courses of study relate to the different units and levels. Also, they are
able to make out how these courses can be made appropriate and holistic.

Module 5 – Implications of the Holistic Understanding – a Look at Professional Ethics (6

lectures and 3 tutorials for practice session)
Lecture 23: Natural Acceptance of Human Values
Lecture 24: Definitiveness of (Ethical) Human Conduct

Typical Case Studies
Lecture 28: Strategies for Transition towards Value-based Life and Profession
Tutorial 14: Practice Session PS14 Exploring Steps of Transition towards
Universal Human Order

Expected outcome:
The students are able to present sustainable solutions to the problems in society and nature.
They are also able to see that these solutions are practicable and draw roadmaps to achieve
them.
The students are able to grasp the right utilization of their knowledge in their streams of
Technology/Engineering/Management/any other area of study to ensure mutual fulfilment.
E.g. mutually enriching production system with rest of nature.
The students are able to sincerely evaluate the course and share with their friends. They are
also able to suggest measures to make the course more effective and relevant. They are also
able to make use of their understanding in the course for the happy and prosperous family
and society.

Guidelines and Content for Practice Sessions (Tutorials)

49
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

In order to connect the content of the proposals with practice (living), 14 practice sessions
have been designed. The full set of practice sessions is available in the Teacher’s Manual as
well as the website.

Practice Sessions for Module 1 – Introduction to Value Education

PS1 Sharing about Oneself
PS2 Exploring Human Consciousness
PS3 Exploring Natural Acceptance

Practice Sessions for Module 2 – Harmony in the Human Being

PS4 Exploring the difference of Needs of Self and Body
PS5 Exploring Sources of Imagination in the Self
PS6 Exploring Harmony of Self with the Body

Practice Sessions for Module 3 – Harmony in the Family and Society

PS7 Exploring the Feeling of Trust
PS8 Exploring the Feeling of Respect
PS9 Exploring Systems to fulfil Human Goal

Practice Sessions for Module 4 – Harmony in the Nature (Existence)

PS10 Exploring the Four Orders of Nature
PS11 Exploring Co-existence in Existence

Practice Sessions for Module 5 – Implications of the Holistic Understanding – a Look at

Professional Ethics
PS12 Exploring Ethical Human Conduct
PS13 Exploring Humanistic Models in Education
PS14 Exploring Steps of Transition towards Universal Human Order

As an example, PS 7 is a practice session in module 3 regarding trust. It is explained below: [[

PS 7: Form small groups in the class and in that group initiate dialogue and ask the eight
questions related to trust. The eight questions are:
1a. Do I want to make myself happy? 1b. Am I able to make myself always happy?
2a. Do I want to make the other happy? 2b. Am I able to make the other always
happy?
3a. Does the other want to make him happy? 3b. Is the other able to make him always
happy?
4a. Does the other want to make me happy? 4b. Is the other able to make me always
happy?
Intention (Natural Acceptance) Competence
What is the answer? What is the answer?

50
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

Let each student answer the questions for himself/herself and everyone else. Discuss the
difference between intention and competence. Observe whether you evaluate your intention
and competence as well as the others’ intention and competence.

Expected outcome of PS 7: The students are able to see that the first four questions are
related to our Natural Acceptance i.e. intention and the next four to our Competence. They are
able to note that the intention is always correct, only competence is lacking! We generally
evaluate ourselves on the basis of our intention and others on the basis of their competence!
We seldom look at our competence and others’ intention, as a result we conclude that I am a
good person and other is a bad person.

4-MODE OF CONDUCT (L-T-P-C 2-1-0-3)

Lecture hours are to be used for interactive discussion, placing the proposals about the
topics at hand and motivating students to reflect, explore and verify them.
Tutorial hours are to be used for practice sessions.

51
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

While analysing and discussing the topic, the faculty mentor’s role is in pointing to essential
elements to help in sorting them out from the surface elements. In other words, help the
students explore the important or critical elements.
In the discussions, particularly during practice sessions (tutorials), the mentor encourages
the student to connect with one’s own self and do self-observation, self-reflection and self-
exploration.
Scenarios may be used to initiate discussion. The student is encouraged to take up”
ordinary” situations rather than” extra-ordinary” situations. Such observations and their
analyses are shared and discussed with other students and faculty mentor, in a group sitting.
Tutorials (experiments or practical) are important for the course. The difference is that the
laboratory is everyday life, and practical are how you behave and work in real life.
Depending on the nature of topics, worksheets, home assignment and/or activity are
included. The practice sessions (tutorials) would also provide support to a student in
performing actions commensurate to his/her beliefs. It is intended that this would lead to
development of commitment, namely behaving and working based on basic human values.
It is recommended that this content be placed before the student as it is, in the form of a
basic foundation course, without including anything else or excluding any part of this
content. Additional content may be offered in separate, higher courses.
This course is to be taught by faculty from every teaching department.
Teacher preparation with a minimum exposure to at least one 8-day Faculty
Development Program on Universal Human Values is deemed essential.

5-SUGGESTED ASSESSMENT:

This is a compulsory credit course. The assessment is to provide a fair state of development
of the student, so participation in classroom discussions, self-assessment, peer assessment
etc. will be used in evaluation.

Example:

Assessment by faculty mentor: 10 marks

Self-assessment: 10 marks
Assessment by peers: 10 marks
Socially relevant project/Group Activities/Assignments: 20 marks
Semester End Examination: 50 marks
The overall pass percentage is 40%. In case the student fails, he/she must repeat the course.

6-OUTCOME OF THE COURSE:

By the end of the course, students are expected to become more aware of themselves, and
their surroundings (family, society, nature); they would become more responsible in life,
and in handling problems with sustainable solutions, while keeping human relationships
and human nature in mind.
They would have better critical ability. They would also become sensitive to their
commitment towards what they have understood (human values, human relationship and

52
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

human society). It is hoped that they would be able to apply what they have learnt to their
own self in different day-to-day settings in real life, at least a beginning would be made in
this direction.
Therefore, the course and further follow up is expected to positively impact common
graduate attributes like:

1. Holistic vision of life

2. Socially responsible behaviour
3. Environmentally responsible work
4. Ethical human conduct
5. Having Competence and Capabilities for Maintaining Health and Hygiene
6. Appreciation and aspiration for excellence (merit) and gratitude for all
This is only an introductory foundational input. It would be desirable to follow it up by

a) Faculty-student or mentor-mentee programs throughout their time with the institution

b) Higher level courses on human values in every aspect of living.

Appendix – III: A Guide to Induction Program

Introduction
In its 49th meeting, held on 14th March 2017, AICTE approved a package of measures for
further improving the quality of technical education in the country. This 3-week mandatory
Student Induction Program (SIP) based on Universal Human Values (UHV) is one of these key
measures.

The SIP is intended to prepare newly admitted undergraduate students for the new stage in
their life by facilitating a smooth transition from their home and school environment into the
college and university environment.

The present form of the Student Induction Program (SIP) has taken inspiration from and
gratefully acknowledges the many efforts in this direction. In particular the Foundation
Program at IIT Gandhinagar1 (July 2011) and the course in Universal Human Values and
Professional Ethics2 (IIIT Hyderabad, 2005; AKTU Lucknow, 2009 and PTU Jalandhar, 2011;
overall about 35 universities); and also, the mentorship, internship and apprenticeship
programs3 of several institutions. The SIP amalgamates all the three into an integrated whole,
which leads to its high effectiveness in terms of building a healthy lifestyle, creativity, bonding
and character. It develops sensitivity towards self and one’s relationships, builds awareness
about others and society beyond the individual, and also in bonding with their own batch-
mates and senior students as well as faculty members.

The purpose of this document along with accompanying details are to help institutions /
colleges in understanding the spirit of the Induction Program and implementing it.

It is in line with the thoughts expressed in the NEP 2020:

“Education is fundamental for achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just
society, and promoting National development”.

“The purpose of the education system is to develop good human beings capable of rational
thought and action, possessing compassion and empathy, courage and resilience, scientific
temper and creative imagination, with sound ethical moorings and values”.

1 IIT Gandhinagar places great emphasis on not only educating successful engineers of the future, but also creating well-rounded
personalities, who contribute to society, are respectful of and can adapt to their surroundings, and prove themselves to be great thinkers and
problem solvers in all avenues of life. In 2011, in line with this vision, It took the bold step to introduce a five week Foundation Program for
incoming 1st year UG students. It involved activities such as games, art, etc.; also science and other creative workshops as well as lectures by
eminent resource persons. To enable undivided attention on this, normal classes were scheduled only after this program was over.

2 The foundation course was started in 2005 at IIIT Hyderabad. In 2009, UP Technical University (now AKTU) introduced it in all academic
programs across their 550 colleges. From there on, it has been included in the curriculum of many universities, particularly in technical
universities, in quite a natural manner, filling a long-felt need. After AKTU, it was IKG-Punjab Technical University in 2011, then Royal
University of Bhutan in 2012 and so on. By 2020, more than 40 universities in India and both universities of Bhutan have been offering this
foundation course. Since 2017, it has been a compulsory credit course in AICTE’s model curriculum for all UG courses. Faculty from all
departments are involved in conducting the course. The content is universal, rational, verifiable and leading to harmony. The mode is a self-
exploration (and not sermonising or lecturing). Faculty are to be prepared beforehand. The results have been quite encouraging.

3 Many institutes setup mentor-mentee network under which 1st year students are divided into small groups, each assigned to a senior
student as a Student Buddy, and to a faculty member as a Faculty Mentor. Thus, a new student has their guidance through regular
interactions. They can discuss their aims and aspirations as well as concerns whether social, psychological, financial, academic, or otherwise.

157
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

“It aims at producing engaged, productive, and contributing citizens for building an equitable,
inclusive, and plural society as envisaged by our Constitution”.

“Education must build character, enable learners to be ethical, rational, compassionate, and
caring, while at the same time prepare them for gainful, fulfilling employment”.

“The curriculum must include basic arts, crafts, humanities, games, sports and fitness, languages,
literature, culture, and values, in addition to science and mathematics, to develop all aspects and
capabilities of learners; and make education more well-rounded, useful, and fulfilling to the
learner”.

So, when new students join an institution, they are to be welcomed and oriented to the
institute, its vision, people, purpose, culture and values, policies, programs, rules and
regulations etc. through a well-planned 3-week interaction before regular classes start.

Education aims at developing the students to their full potential, so that they are able to
participate meaningfully not only in their profession, but also in their family, society and their
natural environment. That requires the development of their values as well as skills.

Engineering colleges were established to train graduates in their respective branch/

department of study, be ready for the job market, but also have a holistic outlook towards life
and have a desire and competence to work for national needs and beyond. The graduating
student must have the knowledge and skills in the area of his study. However, s(he) must also
have a broad understanding of society and relationships. Besides the above, several meta-
skills and underlying values are needed. Character needs to be nurtured as an essential
quality by which s(he) would understand and fulfil his/her responsibility as an engineer, a
family member, a citizen etc.

The same applies to all other branches of study – be it professional, vocational or any other
area of academic. The graduating student must be a good human being and have the skills in
their area of study.

Each family, institution, region, community etc. have evolved their way of life, their cultures
over a period of time. The new students are going from one culture to another. Today, a major
issue is that one culture tends to be opposed to other cultures. This is because their basic
assumptions, and therefore thoughts, are different. Even though there are commonalities at
the core value level, the conflict is at the level of expression and details.

With this situation, it is imperative to

• Articulate the essence or core aspects of human culture and civilization, i.e. understand
universal human values like trust and respect, love and compassion
• Appreciate the various expressions, different approaches taken in different regions

Our effort is in the context of the whole humanity. However, when it comes to exemplifying
these essential concepts, we will have to take to local or national expressions.

In SIP, we want to provide an exposure to essence in the context of the whole humanity first.
Then we can take a representative cross-section of all cultures as expressions of this essence.
A yardstick to evaluate these various options is provided to guide the student towards a
humanistic culture founded on the truth and universal human values like love and
compassion.
158

Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

For example: We want to live with fulfilment as a society. This part is common, universal.
To exemplify this, we may expose students to traditional Indian culture and philosophy as well as
contemporary western culture and thought.

The intent is:

• Connecting the basic principles through specific examples
• To see and appreciate various cultures, to see the commonality amongst them, in the
light of clarity about human culture and civilisation.
• To evaluate any specific example, system or culture, with a view to fill the gaps, rather
than to criticise or reject it. Further, we can also be mutually enriching for other
cultures.

Student Induction Program (SIP)

With this background, the SIP has been formulated with specific goals to help students to:
• Become familiar with the ethos and culture of the institution (based on institutional
culture and practices)
• Set a healthy daily routine, create bonding in batch as well as between faculty
members and students
• Get an exposure to a holistic vision of life, develop awareness, sensitivity and
understanding of the
Self---family---Society---Nation---International---Entire Nature
• Facilitate them in creating new bonds with peers and seniors who accompany them
through their college life and beyond
• Overcome weaknesses in some essential professional skills – only for those who need
it (e.g. Mathematics, Language proficiency modules)

The SIP consists of different activities which includes meeting new students, socializing with
teachers and other people in the university. Secondly associating with the Local area or city,
knowing different departments, associating with the department heads, local stores and
necessary shops for the survival at new place. Basically, getting information about the rules
and regulations of the university which includes do’s and don’ts. Other activities which may
involve students in several creative, cultural and co- curricular activities through which they
can explore themselves and get idea about their intrinsic desires and interests which may
help them in the long run. In order to make it worth, at the initial level of joining of student
various seminars, lectures by eminent personalities, sessions by the appointed mentor for the
student is being done to make them more familiar with the university environment. It has
been seen that student after schooling when moves towards further studies for either under
graduation or post-graduation has got so many confusions and false knowledge about the
college and the curriculum. They should know the basic idea about the fruits and prospects of
the particular course and the university or institute in which they are entering. To have faith
about their choices and to know that after completion, they will be well equipped with the
values and skills which may aid to their future goals and let them work for their personal
motives, society and the Nation’s development.

The various modules or core areas recommended for the 3-week SIP are:
SIP Module 1: Universal Human Values I (UHV I) 22 hours
The purpose is to help develop a holistic perspective about life. A self-reflective
methodology of teaching is adopted. It opens the space for the student to explore

159

his/her role (value) in all aspects of living – as an individual, as a member of a family,

as a part of the society and as a unit in nature. Through this process of self-exploration,
students are able to discover the values intrinsic in them. The session-wise topics are

the state, region, nation and the world at large and how students can participate in it.

SIP Module 4: Visit to a Local Area 10 hours

To relate to the social environment of the educational institution as well as the area in
which it is situated through interaction with the people, place, history, politics…

SIP Module 5: Lectures by Eminent People 06 hours

Listening to the life and times of eminent people from various fields like academics,
industry etc. about careers, art, self-management and so on enriches the student’s
perspective and provides a holistic learning experience.

SIP Module 6: Proficiency Modules 06 hours

This module is to help fill the gaps in basic competency required for further inputs to
be absorbed. It includes effort to make student proficient in interpersonal
communication and expression as well as awareness about linguistic and thereafter
NLP.

SIP Module 7: Literature / Literary Activities 30 hours

Through the exposure of local, national and international literature, this module is
aimed at helping the student learn about traditional as well as contemporary values
and thought.

SIP Module 8: Creative Practices 49 hours

This module is to help develop the clarity of humanistic culture and its creative, joyful
expression through practice of art forms like dance, drama, music, painting, pottery,
sculpture etc.

SIP Module 9: Extra Curricular Activities 06 hours

This is a category under which things that are not placed in any of the above may be
placed. Some clubs and hobby group may be made for each of the above categories, so
that students may pursue them even after SIP.

The recommended hours to be allocated are given above. Depending on the available faculty,
staff, infrastructure, playgrounds, class timings, hostellers and day scholars etc., the
timetable for these activities may be drawn up. Of course, colleges may conduct an inaugural
function at the beginning of the SIP; and they may also conduct a celebratory closing
ceremony at the end of the SIP.

In particular, during the lockdown phase, appropriate care may be taken and some or all
activities may be planned in distance-learning or on-line mode.

Implementation
Every institution/college is expected to conduct the 3-week SIP under the guidance of the
Director/Principal or Dean Students or a senior faculty member. For this, the institution is
expected to make an SIP Cell / team, which will be responsible for planning, and then
implementation of the SIP.

A UHV Cell is expected to be set up at each college and university. At the college, it will be
managed by the UHV Convener / Coordinator under the chairpersonship of the
director/principal. Faculty members and some students will be the members. They will
coordinate the UHV activities like UHV-I during SIP, UHV-II, the faculty mentoring program
and student buddy program throughout the student’s association with the institute/college.
The UHV Cell will work to incorporate human values in every aspect of education at the
institute/college. Preparing UHV Faculty (Mentors) is one of its important activities.

Follow up
The SIP is only the beginning of the interaction with newly joined students.

An important part of the SIP is to associate one faculty mentor to every small groups of about
20 students; and also associate one senior student buddy to an even smaller groups of about 5
students for the guidance required for holistic development of the newly joined student
throughout his/her time in the institution/college.

These activities are to be continued in the ongoing academic program along with other
cultural activities through various student clubs which are largely be managed by students
with the help of one or more faculty mentors. One of the main responsibilities of the faculty
mentors would be helping the clubs to review their activities in alignment with human values.

Assessing the Implementation and Impact

The institution / college is expected to take feedback and prepare appropriate reports for
assessing the impact and for further improvement of SIP. The basic feedback forms are
included with the SIP Teaching Materials.

The SIP and its further follow up is expected to positively impact common graduate attributes
like:
Holistic vision of life
Socially responsible behaviour
Environmentally responsible work
Ethical human conduct
Having Competence and Capabilities for Maintaining Health and Hygiene
Appreciation and aspiration for excellence (merit) and gratitude for all

AICTE will conduct periodic assessment to ascertain the implementation efforts and impact of
the SIP and related activities.

Faculty Development

To ensure the implementation of SIP, and in particular to prepare the faculty, the National
Coordination Committee for Student Induction (NCC-IP) has been formed. It offers various
faculty development programs (FDPs) with the support from AICTE HQ and Regional Offices.
UHV Faculty (Mentors): Every institution is expected to prepare UHV Faculty in the
ratio of 1:20 (1 faculty per 20 newly admitted students). Faculty from every teaching
department are to be prepared. The basic preparation is participation in an 8-day FDP-
SI (UHV).
Faculty for other Modules: Institutions/colleges generally have faculty, coaches,
student clubs, alumni for these areas. FDP and comprehensive material will also be
made available.

Student Activity Cell (SAC) – SIP Cell, UHV Cell and Fostering Unit
Student Activity Cell will have three cells or units:
• Fostering Unit – for coordinating various student clubs and activities in
alignment with human values and IKS through various student clubs
• SIP Cell – for coordinating the annual SIP
• UHV Cell – for coordinating regular UHV activities, including UHV-I during SIP
and UHV-II during future semesters, faculty mentoring and student buddy
programs etc.

Each cell / unit will have some axis. E.g. the Fostering Unit will have 3 axis:
• UHV Axis – for UHV inputs and activities after the SIP
• Health Axis – for health oriented inputs and activities after SIP
• Career Axis – for career related inputs

Each axis will have one or more dimensions. E.g. the UHV Axis will have two
dimensions:
• UHV Dimension
• Social Work Dimension

• Details of the clubs will be based on local conditions.

163
AICTE Model Curriculum for UG Degree Course in Computer Science and Engineering Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI&ML)

• Director or Principal or Dean of Student affairs will be the Chairman of Student

Activity Cell

• SIP Cell (or Induction Unit) will be managed by faculty members with the help
of student volunteers. 5 to 7 faculty members will be the members. The SIP Cell
will be responsible for planning, organization, coordination and reporting of the
annual Student Induction Program with the help of other faculty members and
student volunteers

• UHV Cell will be managed by the UHV Convener / Coordinator under the
chairpersonship of the director/principal. Faculty members and some students
will be the members. They will coordinate the UHV activities like UHV-I during
SIP, UHV-II 3rd/4th semester, faculty mentoring program and student buddy
program throughout the student’s association with the institute/college. UHV
Cell will work to incorporate human values in every aspect of education at the
institute/college. Preparing UHV Faculty (Mentors) is one of its activities

• Fostering unit will largely be managed by students with the help of one
fostering unit faculty mentor. Student will be coordinators for axis, dimensions
and clubs. Fostering unit will take support from induction unit as and when
required. It will be responsible for coordinating various student clubs and
activities in alignment with human values and Indian Knowledge System

Appendix – IV: Internship

Please note the following points pertaining to internship semester:
1. Internship semester is kept as 6th Semester, there is a reason for it. All
International internships (List of few such internships provided below), there is a necessary
condition that at least one semester study should be left to complete the degree after undertaking
that internship. They want students to come back to India and bring cross culture back.

2. For students opting for industry internships also, 6th Semester is a good option, as most of the
Industries visit for campus placements in 7th Semester. At PEC 6th Semester for all students of all
branches there is compulsory internship, industry OR research. Benefit of these internships in 6th
Semester is that our 60% students get Pre Placement Offers (PPO) to join the companies where they
have undertaken internships. Then they do not appear for Campus Placement interviews, and it
becomes a win-win situation for all stakeholders, because companies also do not waste their time
and efforts on students who may not join them. Here I want to mention that all types of companies
namely a few: Microsoft, Amazon, Deshaw, JP Morgan, Goldman Sach, Maruti, BCG, PWC, TVS,
Simens and many more follow the same procedure.

3. But yes, the other side of the coin is, sometimes students get employment offers if the internship
is in the 8th (Last) Semester, it is applicable to small and medium level industries.

Keeping all these in mind and looking at flexibility mentioned in NEP-2020, we should give
flexibility to institutes to decide Internship Semester (Any of 6th, 7th OR 8th) as per local
needs.

1. A small list of International Fully Funded Internship Programmes (Few of them are especially
for Indian Students), Like with MITACS, AICTE has tie-up, with other programmes also
collaborations can be explored.

[To explore tie-ups/collaborations AICTE/MHRD may explore with Indian Origin

Academicians working in foreign universities. We have prepared a database of about
25000 Indian Origin Academicians working in US, UK, Australia and Canada as outcome
of an on-going DST research project (available on http://ioa-dst.pec.ac.in/)].
