Credit Structure and Examination Rules for M. Tech. (Full & Part Time)Chemical Engineering/ Polymer Tech., M. Tech. (Environmental Science & Tech.) and M. Tech. (VLSI Elect. ) Courses
Requirement of CREDIT SYSTEM In tune with the concepts and suggestions of the AICTE, UGC and NAAC, Banglore and technological advancements and societal needs and to make the teaching effective and meaningful, the University has adopted Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) system for the following M. Tech. courses being run in the campus on regular basis. i. Chemical Engineeringii. Polymer Technology iii. Environmental Science & Tech. iv. VLSI 2. Academic calendar showing dates of commencement and end of teaching, internal assessment tests and term end examination shall be duly notified before commencement of each semester every year by the School/ Department. The academic calendar and the examination schedule shall be independent for the Department / School running CGPA pattern. The External Examinations for all the terms shall be conducted at the end of the term (i. e. after 13 weeks of teaching sessions/ contact period). 3. Each School/ Department will constitute Departmental Course Committee headed by Course Coordinator. Paper Setting, and Assessment for External Examinations shall be carried out partially by the Department / School and partly Externally; the exact ratio of External /Internal Setting & Evaluation shall be decided by the individual Course Coordinator, and Head of the Department / Director of School. The appointment of Examiners shall be carried as per Maharashtra University norms. 4. If a student admitted to M. Tech. covered one or more than one course prescribed for M. Tech. At any stage during his / her qualifying Degree, He / She will get exemption for that course and earned credit point will be transferred. 5. The student of the M. Tech Course will have to attend the 80% of lectures, practical and any other term work as prescribed by the University. The conduct and behavior of the student must satisfy the Head of the Department / Director of the School. 6. The Head of the Department Director of the School will certify that the student has attended the course as prescribed and has conducted himself satisfactorily. In absence of such certificate, the student shall not be permitted to appear for the University Examination. 7. The student shall have to appear personally to all parts of the examination.
School of Environmental and Earth Sciences, NMU, Jalgaon | 23
8. Student will be allowed to take admission in subsequent semester provided his/ her term is granted in previous semester. However, the Student will not be allowed to submit his/ her 4th Semester Major Project Thesis unless he clears all previous Semester Examinations. The modalities and operational details of the credit system shall be as follows. 1. The credits shall be awarded in the terms of 1 credit for 1hr per week per semester teaching load of theory paper and one credit for 2 hours of practical, project, seminar, field work etc. of Masters courses being run in Schools / Departments. Thus the courses shall be awarded credits in the ratio of half of the total practical hours per week allotted to the course. Student s can be registered for minimum of 12 credits and maximum of 20 credits in one semester. However in one academic year he / she has to appear for minimum courses of 30 credits. Out of 60 credits student have to opt electives of 12 credits. 2. The weightage of the test (%) will be as follows on awarding the credits as approved by the Department / School course committee Term end examination (Major Examination) 60 Two Minor Tests 40 Total 100 The marks distribution for the courses, which are of variation in credits, shall be in the same ratio. 3. Two minor tests (20 marks of each) will be conducted by the subject teacher while Major Examination of 60 marks will be partly based on External Paper Setting/ Assessment as decided by Course Coordinator, and Head of the Department /Director of the School. Departmental Internal Assessment Committee will coordinate Internal Examination Activity. It is mandatory to show the answer sheets of all tests to the students. The marks for each test will be displayed on the notice board within seven days of conducting the test. The first minor test will be conducted after 4 weeks from starting of the semester. There will be flexibility in distribution in the internal marks on the basis of regularity, sincerity, punctuality of the student as per the requirement of the course and mode of conduct of internal examination. Term End Major Examination: - The term end major examination for 60 marks per course would be held about two weeks after completion of teaching for the semester. Each theory paper of 60 marks shall be of three hours duration and each theory paper of 30 marks shall be of 2 hours duration. Paper setting and assessment for a particular course would be the responsibility of the course Coordinator, and would be conducted partly by appointment of External Examiners and rest through Department/ School. These activities, including preparation of the result-sheets for the students, would be coordinated by the Department Assessment Committee comprising Course Coordinator and HOD/ Director. On the basis of marks obtained, grade points will be given to the students which will be approved by the
School of Environmental and Earth Sciences, NMU, Jalgaon | 24

Fair D 5 40-44 Fail F 0 Less than 40 To judge the overall performance one considers cumulative Grade Point Average as the criterion. CGPA Calculation is as illustrated below: CGPA Calculation System SGPA: Semester grade point average CGPA: Cumulative grade point average Point: (a) Integer average of each letter grade Credit: (b) Integer signifying the relative emphasis of Individual Course item(s) in a semester as indicated by the course structure and syllabus. Credit Point: (b) times (a) for each course item Credit Index: CREDIT POINT of course items in semester GRADE POINT: CREDIT INDEX divided by CREDITS AVERAGE SGPA: CREDIT INDEX for a semester divided by CREDITS in a Semester CGPA: CREDIT INDEX of all previous semesters divided by CREDITS of all previous semesters. i) For the purpose of Passing in individual papers, the student must secure at least 40 % in University term examination and at least D grade (40%) on the basis of total marks obtained in Internal and External examinations of individual papers. Student must appear in all examinations. ii) A student who passes the minor tests ( 40%) but fails in Term End Examination i.e. (< 40%) the student shall be given F grade. Student with F grade in a course would be granted credit for that course but not the grade for that course and shall have to clear the concerned course within 1.5 year from appearing for first time in the concerned paper. However M. Tech. Course must completed within four years period of time. iii) For improvement of the grade s student can opt more electives iv) The Student will not be allowed to submit his/ her Major Project Thesis unless he clears all previous Semester Examinations i.e. grades better than D. 7. Final Result: For the final result of a student, Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) based on total earned credits vis--vis total earned grade points shall be calculated. The (CGPA) shall be calculated asSum of the earned grade points during semester SGPA = Sum of credits of semester Sum of total earned grade points CGPA = Sum of total credits The final grade earned shall be as per Table 2 below. Qualification Final Grades CGPA Outstanding O 9.0 10

If the student is unable to secure at least CGPA 5.5, then the student will have to appear in all courses / papers in which student has secured D & F grades.
