General Notes:

1. Question Paper Pattern for Theory Courses (2017 Scheme):

www.android.universityupdates.in | www.universityupdates.in | www.ios.universityupdates.in

• The question paper will have TEN questions.

• Each full question carries 20 marks.
• There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four sub
questions) from each module.
• Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics
under a module.
• Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full
question from each module.
2. The teaching learning process should be as per the Choice Based Credit
System
3. All Civil Engineering Departments should have a “CIVIL ENGINEERING
MUSEUM” with collections related to civil engineering like models,
charts, material samples, fixtures and fittings etc. which assist effective
teaching learning process.
4. The teaching learning process may be planned to develop capabilities,
competencies and skills required for career development based on course
beginning and course end surveys.
5. Course objectives, course outcomes and RBT levels given under each
course in the syllabus are broad and indicative/suggestive. The faculty
can set them appropriately according to their lesson/ course plan.
6. The course coordinators/teachers/instructors are informed to deliberate
in the faculty meeting with module coordinator, program coordinator
along with the stake holders to develop the respective lesson/ course
plans.
7. The department advisory board may make suitable changes to the
course objectives, course outcomes and program objectives according to
their finalized course plans.
8. The faculty should complement the teaching with case studies and field
visits wherever required.
9. One faculty development program to be conducted to compliment
teaching learning process by the department in a year
