PREFACE

Dear Students,

NIE is a premier technical institution of the country started nearly seventy years ago. Right

from its inception focus at NIE is to deliver value based education with academically well

qualified faculty and infrastructure. NIE now offers seven UG and eleven PG programmes.

Research activities undertaken at the institute has brought laurels and given unique status to

our UG and PG programmes. The alumni of NIE have achieved excellence in their chosen

professions and their accomplishments are of immense value to the Institute. It is a matter

of pride that NIE continues to be the preferred destination for students to pursue an

engineering degree.

In the year 2007, NIE was granted academic autonomy by Visvesvaraya Technological

University (VTU), Belagavi. From then onwards our prime focus is on developing and

delivering a curriculum which caters to the needs of various stakeholders. The curriculum

has unique features enabling students to develop critical thinking, solve problems, analyse

socially relevant issues, etc. The academic cycle designed on the basis of Outcome Based

Education (OBE) strongly emphasises continuous improvement and this has made our

curriculum responsive to current requirements. Four of our UG programmes were recently

accredited under Tier-1 of the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi. Some of

our PG Programmes are under the process of accreditation. NIE’s progress towards further

academic excellence is visualized in the realms of continuous improvement with increase in

physical and intellectual infrastructure.

The curriculum at NIE has been developed by experts from academia and industry and it

has unique features to enhance problem solving skills apart from academic enrichment.

This curriculum is designed in such a way so as to impart engineering education in a holistic

way.

I hope you will have a fruitful stay at NIE.

However, if a student gets ‘F’ grade in an elective theory course, he/she can register for the same elective or an alternative elective, as recommended by the Faculty Advisor and approved by the Departmental Council to satisfy the credit requirement in subsequent semesters.

I grade: This grade is a transitional grade which denotes incomplete grade. A student having satisfactory attendance and meeting the passing standard at CIE, but remained absent from SEE due to illness/ accident/ calamity in the family at the time of Semester End Examination for a course will be awarded this grade. The DC can consider the request of any such student for a make-up examination and depending on the merit of the case and in consultation with the course instructor permit him/ her to appear for make-up examination. The ‘I’ grade would be converted intoone or the other ofthe letter grades (S/A/B/C/D/F) afterthe student completes the course requirements. If thestudent fails to get theminimum passinggradeinmakeupexamination, he/sheshall repeat the course in a subsequentsemesterwhen it is offered.

X grade: This grade is a transitional grade which denotes incomplete grade. A student having satisfactory attendance and having high CIE rating (>=90%) in a course, but SEE performance is poor, which could result in an overall ‘F’ grade in the course, will be awarded this grade. The DC can consider the request of any such student for a make-up examination and depending on the merit of the case and in consultation with the course instructor permit him/her to appear for make-up examination. The ‘X’ grade would be converted into one or the other of the letter grades (S/A/B/C/D/F) after the student completes the course requirements.

If the student fails in the make-up examination, he/she shall repeat the course in a subsequent semester when it is offered.

W grade: This grade is awarded to a student having satisfactoryattendance at classes, but withdrawing from a course before theprescribed date in a semester undertheadvice oftheFaculty Advisor. Withdrawalfrom a course shall beallowedonlyunderexceptionalcircumstances and has toberecommended by the DC. No withdrawalispermittedafterthe grades areannounced. Further, acandidatehavingshortage of attendance and/or fail to achieve the minimum requirements in CIE shall also be awarded this grade.

Calculation of SGPA and CGPA: —∑ [(course credits) X (Grade points)] for all courses with Letter grades, including F (in that semester)

SGPA = —∑ [(course credits)] for all courses with letter grades, including F (in that semester)

—∑ [(course credits) X (Grade points)] for all courses with Letter grades, excluding F (until that semester)

CGPA = —∑ [(course credits)] for all courses with Letter grades, excluding F (until that semester)

c) The regular semester load is declared by the Departments for each PG programme at the beginning of every semester. Hence the yearly academic load is the sum of the regular semester loads of odd and even semester. Then the shortfall of credits = Yearly academic load – Earned credits. The threshold details are as follows:

shortfall =0 (AllcreditsEarned) shortfall of credits < =15 Shortfall of credits >15

Eligible to move to next year.

Should complete the shortfall in credits byregistering those courses for which ‘F’ or ‘W’ grade is obtained and move to the next Year
