Preface

Walchand College of Engineering, (WCE), Sangli is one of the oldest Engineering


colleges in India. The college was established with an objective to provide quality technical
education, research and training. WCE is now recognized and renowned college through its
contribution to technical education, designing, planning and execution of engineering projects
of national importance through its alumni. It has established a firm foundation for education
and research with a high-quality faculty and alumni base. The teaching-learning process is
student centric and governed by the concept of outcome based education.
This booklet gives comprehensive information on the existing rules and regulations
for M. Tech. programmes of all branches. All postgraduate programmes will be governed by
these rules and regulations. The various departments are given a direction to excel in
academics through these rules and regulations approved by the academic council from time to
time, keeping in view the ever growing challenges and new developments. The stakeholders
particularly the students, and parents/guardians, are advised to be fully familiar with the
academic system of the college. Students should know the rules and regulations governing
academic requirements, evaluation system, and grading system. These rules and regulations
related to academics evolved over the period of time, after the college was awarded
autonomy in 2007 by UGC. These rules are also changed from time to time as per the
directives of UGC, AICTE and also by studying the rules of other reputed autonomous
institutes. It is expected that this booklet will bring the transparency in the functioning of the
college related with academics amongst students, faculty members, administrator, parents and
other stakeholders. WCE, Sangli has student oriented academic system, every possible
opportunity is provided to progress academically, and overall development of the students is
ensured.

institute/organization/industry to discuss and finalize the topic/research area/problem
statement. Such a request should be duly recommended by the internal guide and HoD
of the department. Dean R and D may provisionally allow such students to visit the
industry and interact for identification of possible topic for dissertation work. The
topic/research area/problem statement for the sponsored dissertation should be
finalized, in consultation with sponsoring institute/organization/industry during the
interaction period.

If students are allotted a potential topic of dissertation work by the


industry/organization, then such students shall submit a proposal along with authentic

extended by two months depending on recommendation of mentor and DPGC) for
carrying out sponsored dissertation work. The student should be available in the
institute for contributing for departmental activities/ teaching assistantship/ or any
other work assigned by the Head of Department/guide. The relieving period should be

of registered students for a course/s is more than 5. The registered students should
attend the classes regularly. Attendance rules shall be applicable to summer term also.

7.12. Credit System:

The primary purpose of the credit system is continuous evaluation of a student’s


performance which is measured by the number of credits the student has earned.
Typically, credit measures the quantum of work involved in a course. The cumulative
performance index (CPI) is calculated based on the course credits and grades obtained
by the student. A minimum number of earned credits and a minimum CPI should be
acquired in order to qualify for the degree.

7.13. A typical credit structure for various courses with various combinations of theory/
tutorial and laboratory/project/ seminar/ mini-project hours is given in Table 7.1.

from the Civil Surgeon to that effect, then a writer shall be allowed/ assigned by CoE to
such examinee. Normally, such a writer shall neither be a student or a degree holder of
any technical programme having similar competency. The examinee shall, however,
apply in a prescribed proforma to COE asking for permission to allow for such a writer.
COE shall then verify the medical certificate and give a permission letter to the

conducted to assess the progress of the dissertation work for problem formulation,
methodology, experimental work, and results (if any). In ISE phase III further progress
of experimental/modeling/simulation study shall be assessed with more emphasis on
results and discussions. ISE phase IV shall be used to assess completion of work with
reference to defined objectives, presentation of results and relevant discussions and
conclusions for the study. The distribution of weightage for ISE shall be 25% each by

ESE shall comprise of Chairman (who shall be one of the DEC members for ISE other
than guide and nominated by HoD), internal examiner (guide) and external examiner
(who shall be a subject expert from other college/institute and to be selected by CoE
from the panel of examiners submitted by the respective department). The internal and
external examiners shall be same for both phases of ESE. In case, the same internal and
external examiners are not available, prior approval for substitute examiners should be
taken from CoE.
9.14 All the phases of ISE and ESE for dissertation work shall be conducted as per the
schedule given in academic calendar.
9.15 If the student performance is found to be not satisfactory at any phase of ISE for
dissertation work, then he/she shall be given four weeks for improvement. The student
with satisfactory performance in ISE phase I and II shall be recommended for ESE
phase II. The student with satisfactory performance in ISE phase III and IV shall be
recommended for ESE phase IV. Such students shall submit a soft copy and the draft
spiral bound copy of dissertation to examination cell after ISE phase IV.

9.20 A common rubric shall be developed to assess seminar and dissertation for each
programme. The rubric for the laboratory course shall be developed by the concerned
course coordinator. A course coordinator is the teacher who conducts the relevant
theory course or as decided by the DPGC.

10 THE GRADING SYSTEM

10.1 Students shall be assigned a grade based on combined (ISE+ESE) and ESE performance
in all components of evaluation/examination scheme of a course as per the structure.
The grade indicates an assessment of the student’s performance and shall be associated
with equivalent number called a ‘grade point’. The performance of the student as per
the grade point on a 0-10 scale shall further fall into a letter grading system as shown in
Table 10.1.

Table 10.1: Grade points

Letter Grade Grade point Description


AA 10 Outstanding
AB 9 Excellent
BB 8 Very good
BC 7 Good
CC 6 Average
CD 5 Below average
DD 4 Marginal
FF 0 Fail due to poor performance
XX1 0 Fail due to attendance shortage
XX2 0 Fail due to disciplinary action
PP (only for 0 Passed
non-credit
audit courses)
NP (only for 0 Not passed
non-credit
courses)

An ‘AA’ grade stands for outstanding achievement relative to the class. The CC’ grade
stands for average performance and it refers to ‘average’ as per course teacher’s
expectations in a holistic sense and is not based on the class average. The ‘DD’ grade
stands for marginal performance and is the minimum passing grade. The ‘FF’ grade
denotes poor performance. A student who obtains FF grade in any course shall either

shall be computed based on the current academic structure in force and
excluding the backlog (re-registered) courses.

based on the scored marks (The course with least marks required for passing
will be first and so on).

courses of above two groups so as to give marks required for passing subject
to the condition that, the total extra marks shall not exceed 3% of the
concerned semester total.
