objectives and learning outcomes and comprises of lectures/tutorials/laboratory work/field
work/projectwork/viva/seminars/assignments/presentations/self-study etc. or a combination
of some of these.
Under the CBCS, the requirement for awarding a degree is prescribed in terms of number
of credits to be completed by the students.
The CBCS permits students to:
i.
choose electives from a wide range of elective courses offered by the Departments of
the Institute.
ii.
undergo additional courses of interest
iii.
adopt an inter-disciplinary approach in learning
iv.
make the best use of expertise of the available faculty
2.
Minimum Qualification
Engineering Diploma holders are admitted directly into B.Tech second year i.e. third
semester in their respective branches based on their ranks in A.P. Engineering Common
Entrance Test (APECET) conducted by Govt. of A.P. Admissions are made by the
Convener, APECET.
3.
Branches of Study
The branches of study in B.Tech Degree Program are
i) Chemical Engineering
ii) Civil Engineering
iii) Computer Science and Engineering

  1. Semester Each semester shall consist of 18 weeks with a typical academic work of 30 hours/week equivalent to 90 instruction days. However, number of instruction days may be reduced to 72, when necessary, with an increased number of instruction hours per course per week.
  2. Credit A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture/tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week.
  3. Classification of Courses Courses in the program comprise of Basic, Core, Elective and Audit courses. Basic Courses Basic Courses may be of two types; Basic Sciences and Basic Engineering Sciences. These are intended to consolidate the basic concepts. Core Courses These are the courses intended to knowledge development and enhancement in the chosen branch of study. Elective Courses Elective courses are to be chosen from pool of courses. These courses ✓ Are supportive to the discipline of study ✓ provide an expanded scope ✓ enable an exposure to some other branch/domain ✓ nurture student’s proficiency/skill. Audit Courses Courses outside the prescribed range of credits for students interested to supplement their knowledge/skills.
  4. (^) Course Registration Every student has to register for the set of Courses offered by the Department in that Semester including those of Open Elective courses of the other Departments, Audit and MOOCS with the total number of Credits being limited by considering the permissible weekly contact hours (30/Week).

  1. Attendance Requirements

12.1 A student is required to complete the study of the Program satisfying the attendance requirements in all the Semesters within a maximum period of six academic years from the year of admission to become eligible for the award B.Tech degree failing which he/she forfeits his/her admission. 12.2 A student shall be detained in a Semester if he/she fails to satisfy the attendance requirements given below: i. A student shall attend at least 50 percent of the hours of instruction taken by the teacher, in each course. ii. A student shall attend at least 75 percent of the hours of instruction taken for all the courses put together in that Semester. 12.3 The principal shall condone the shortage of attendance of a student provided he/she satisfies the clause 12.2 (i) and obtains at least 65 percent of overall attendance. 12.4 A student who fails to satisfy the attendance requirements specified in clauses 12.2 and 12.3 shall repeat that semester in the subsequent academic years with the written permission of the Principal subject to the clause 12.1. 12.5 A student shall not be permitted to study any semester more than three times during the entire Programme of study. 12.6 A student who satisfies the attendance requirements specified in either of the clauses 12.2 and 12.3 in any semester may be permitted to repeat that semester canceling the previous attendance and sessional marks of that semester with the written permission of the Principal. However, this facility shall not be extended to any student more than twice during the entire Programme of study as specified in clause 12.1. 12.7 Gap year(s) shall be availed by the student himself/herself who wants to pursue entrepreneurship by taking a break of one year at any time after completing II year of study. A committee shall be constituted to evaluate the proposal submitted by the student and decide on permitting the student to avail the Gap Year. Students shall be permitted to rejoin the succeeding year from the date of commencement of class work and shall be under the academic regulations in force at that time. Gap year may be extended by another year (i.e. a total of two years) and shall not be counted for the

13.7 It is mandatory for a student to attend both the sessional tests in each theory course. The weighted average of the marks secured in two tests is awarded as sessional marks. A weightage of 0.8 shall be assigned as for the better performance of the two tests whereas for the other test it shall be 0.2. If a student is absent for any of the internal tests for whatsoever reason, the marks awarded for that test shall be zero. 13.8 The students shall be permitted to verify the valuation of answer scripts of sessional tests. 13.9 The valuation and verification of answer scripts of Sessional Tests shall be completed within fifteen days after the conduct of the respective Sessional Tests. 13.10 The valuation of End-Semester Examination answer scripts shall be arranged by the Controller of Examinations as per the University procedures in vogue.

  1. Question Paper Setting 14.1 Model Question Paper for each theory course shall be prepared by the teacher within 30 days from the commencement of the Semester and the same shall be forwarded to the Controller of Examinations through the Chairman, BOS concerned. Two questions shall be set from each unit of the syllabus, out of which one question shall be answered by the student. Each question of the unit carries a maximum of 12 marks. However, the Chairman, BoS shall accord exception in question paper format, if necessary. The question papers shall assess the understanding of the concepts and their applications in solving problems and at least 50% of the questions shall be numerical. Further, the question papers of design-oriented courses shall assess the abilities of analyzing and evaluating design alternatives. 14.2 For each theory course, the question paper shall be set by an external paper setter. The Chairman, BoS shall recommend a panel comprising at least six external paper setters for each theory course to the University. The University shall arrange for setting the question paper by appointing one external paper setter from that panel.
  1. Grading and Grade Points Grade Point : It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are denoted by letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P and F. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) : It is a measure of student’s performance in a semester. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) : It is a measure of overall performance of a student over all semesters. Letter Grades and Grade Points: A 10-point grading system with the letter grades are as given below: Grades and Grade Points A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and shall be required to reappear in the Semester- end examination. Computation of SGPA and CGPA Letter Grade Range of Marks Grade Point O (Outstanding) 91 - 100 10 A+(Excellent) 81 – 90 9 A(Very Good) 71 – 80 8 B+(Good) 61 - 70 7 B(Above Average) 51 - 60 6 C(Average) 41 - 50 5 P (Pass) 40 4 F(Fail) <40 - Ab (Absent) - -
