 PREFACE
India, in last two decades, has made significant progress in all major spheres of activity. Since
1947, the Technical Education System has grown into fairly large sized system, offering
opportunities for education and training in vide variety of trades / disciplines at different levels.
Needless to say that well trained technical manpow er is the backbone of any growing economy in
the era of fast industrialization. It has been the endeavor of the Technical Education Department
to take decisive steps to enhance the capacities of technical institutions with major emphasis on
quality and excellence in technical education .Our country is the only country in the world which
has 50% population below the age of 25 years whereas America has 30% and China 40%.Working
Age Population (WAP) is increasing in India whereas it is decreasing in other part s in the world.
Challenge before us is to train this WAP for the world of work .Updated curriculum is one of the
most powerful tools to improve the quality of training.
Curriculum Document is a comprehensive plan or a blue print for developing various c urriculum
materials and implementing given educational programme to achieve desired and formally pre -
stated educational objectives. Moreover it (the document) is the output of exhaustive process of
curriculum planning and design, undertaken by the implemen ters under the expert guidance of
curriculum designer.
While working out the detailed contents and study and evaluation scheme, the following important
elements have been kept in mind:
i) Major employment opportunities of the diploma holders.
ii) Modified competency profile of the diploma holders with a view to meet the changing needs
due to technological advancement and requirements of various employment sectors.
iii) Vertical and horizontal mobility of diploma pass outs for their professional growth.
iv) Pragmatic approach in implementing all the curricula of diploma programmes in
engineering and technology in the state of H.P.
The document is an outcome of the feedback received from field organizations/ industry of different
categories viz. small, medium and large scale which offer wage employment for the diploma pass
outs. In every stage of planning and designing of this curriculum, suggestions and advice of
experts representing industry, institutions of higher learning, research organizations etc. were
sought and incorporated as per the requirement of curriculum . The document contains the study
and evaluation scheme and detailed subject/course contents to enable the H.P. Polytechnics to
implement revised curriculum and to achieve the desired objectives.

Time has specifically been allocated for undertaking extra -curricular activities. Emphasis has
been laid on developing and improving communication skills in the students for which
Communication Lab has been introduced during the first year itself.

We hope that this revision will prove useful in producing competent diploma holders in the state of
Himachal Pradesh. The success of this curriculum depends upon its effective implementation and it
is expected that the managers of polytechnic education system in Hima chal Pradesh will make
efforts to create better facilities, develop linkages with the world of work and foster conducive and
requisite learning environment.

 5.6 GENERIC SKILLS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP
DEVELOPMENT
LTP
2- 1
RATIONALE
In present scenario, there is an urgent need to develop right kind of attitude, knowledge and skills
amongst the Diploma engineers leading them to achieve gainful wage/ self employment. There is a
huge gap in perceptions of employers and employees regarding meeting the job requirements. Also
the dual challenges of competing in global working environment and keeping pace with the rapid
technological advancements call for re-design of curricula and thus enabling the importance of
employability or generic skills. Entrepreneurship development aim at developing conceptual
understanding for setting up owns’ business/enterprise to cope up with the problem of unemployment
and also to promote the socio- economic development of our country.
Both the subject areas, “generic skills and entrepreneurship development” are supplementary to
each other. Knowledge and skills of these must be imparted to diploma engineering students for
enhancing their employability and confidence in their personal and professional life.

Instructional Strategy
Since the emphasis of present training need and work requirements is on budding entrepreneurs as
well as intelligent and multi skilled work force. Therefore skill development and knowledge
imparting should be focussed on generic and entrepreneurial skill development. Thus instructional
strategy of the subject should be more practical oriented and theories must be taught up to
conceptual or informal levels. Different methodologies may be used with inclusive approach and
must be supported with different training tools such as group and panel discussions , role plays, case
studies, field surveys through questionnaires, schedules and interviews, presentations, seminars and
expert talks in practical lectures and through student centred activities. Students may also be
provided with extracted study material and handouts too.

 6.4 MAJOR PROJECT
L T P
- - 8
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. 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. It is also essential that the faculty of the respective
department may have a brainstorming 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
students should identify themselves or accept the given project assignment at least two
to three months in advance. The project work identified in collaboration with industry
should be preferred. Each teacher is expected to guide the project work of 5–6
students.
The project assignments may consist of:
 Programming customer based applications
 Web page designing including database connectivity
 Database applications
 Projects related to Computer Hardware
 Projects related to Computer Networking
 Software Development
 Bringing improvements in the existing systems/equipment
 Projects related to Multimedia
 Projects related to Computer Graphics

A suggestive criterion for assessing student performance by the external (personnel

from industry) and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:

30
Sr. Performance criteria Max. Rating Scale
No marks Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor
1. Selection of project 10 10 8 6 4 2
assignment
2. Planning and execution of 10 10 8 6 4 2
considerations
3. Quality of performance 20 20 16 12 8 4
4. Providing solution of the 20 20 16 12 8 4
problems or production of final
product
5. Sense of responsibility 10 10 8 6 4 2
6. Self expression/ communicat- 5 5 4 3 2 1
ion skills
7. Interpersonal skills/human 5 5 4 3 2 1
relations
8. Report writing skills 10 10 8 6 4 2
9. Viva voce 10 10 8 6 4 2

Total marks 100 100 80 60 40 20

The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table
Range of maximum marks Overall grade
i) More than 80 Excellent
ii) 79 <> 65 Very good
iii) 64 <> 50 Good
iv) 49 <> 40 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor

In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which
the students may be given one more chance of undergoing 8 -10 weeks of project
oriented professional training in the same industry and re-evaluated before being
disqualified and declared “not eligible to receive diploma ”. It is also important to note
that the students must get more than six “goods” or above “good” grade in different
performance criteria items in order to get “Overall Good” grade.

Important Notes

1. This criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and they should see the
daily, weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks as per the above criteria.
2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 100 maximum marks.
The internal and external examiners will evaluate students separately and give marks as per
the study and evaluation scheme of examination.
3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who has been
associated with the project-oriented professional training of the students, should evaluate
the students performance as per the above criteria.

31
4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit
certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific nearby
industries are approached for instituting such awards.

The teachers are free to evolve other criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of
project work.
The students must submit a project report of not less than 50 pages (excluding coding). The
report must follow the steps of Software Engineering Concepts
It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work done by
the students and invite leading Industrial organizations in such an exhibition. It is also proposed
that two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit certificate at the time of
annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific industries are approached for instituting
such awards.
