Admissions in Undergraduate Programmes:

Four-year undergraduate Bachelors’ Program has been designed to fulfill the course requirements of a
particular program as well as to expose students to the important and fundamental concepts of all
branches of engineering, basic sciences, and humanities. Emphasis has been laid to devote a
substantial portion of the total credits to experimental education through laboratory experiments and
hands-on projects permeating across disciplines. Engineering and basic sciences courses are
accompanied by the corresponding lab training in addition to various projects. Engineering education
has been incorporated in the academic curriculum from the first semester itself to introduce, excite and
encourage students and to open avenues for each student to experiment and execute their ideas as
they are full of energy and curiosity after their school education. Out-reach projects provide
engineering/technical solutions to the practical problems faced by society are an integral part of the
academic curriculum. Research components are be dispersed throughout the program.
Students are encouraged to get a minor degree in any area of engineering/applied sciences/humanities
to fulfill their inter-discipline interests. The curriculum is also aimed to give a choice to focus and go
deeper into an area of specialization. Student’s performance will be the main criteria to allow them to
achieve these extra milestones.
The Academic curriculum runs on credit based system. UG Rules and Regulations describes discipline
wise credits to be earned and other modalities. Students can pursue additional Minor area degree/
Honors’ degree by earning certain number credits. Each credit is equivalent to 1-hour classroom
teaching or 2 hours of laboratory training. It also requires 2-3 hrs of beyond classroom study per credit.

Registration

Registration is the mandatory pre-requisite for a student to be eligible to take courses in a semester.

Academic calendar for the semesters

At the beginning of autumn and spring semesters, every student needs to register for the courses.
Tentative academic calendar for the semesters are as follows:
1. Autumn: Third/fourth/final week of July - Fourth/final week of November
2. Spring: First week of January - Fourth/final week of April
3. Summer: First week of May - Third/fourth week of July
During summer semester, no course will, generally, be offered.

Semester-wise registration

For the registration, one should know what are the courses to be running in that semester and which
courses the student needs to take.
1. It is the responsibility of the student to know the exact requirements and accordingly, one needs to
register.
2. Students are advised to consult the assigned FA before registering for the courses. There will be one
departmental FA for a batch of students of same year.
3. It is the responsibility of the students to approach their respective FA along with the SGRs so to get
advised by the FA appropriately.
4. It is the student who has to ensure that s/he have registered the courses as per the department and
institute specified norms.

Procedure for registration

All the registration processes and subsequent modifications, if required, are generally needed to be
carried out through on-line.
Pre-requisites for the registration are as follows:
1. All institute, library, hostel and mess dues are to be cleared.
2. All course feedbacks of the previous semester are to be submitted on-line beforehand.

Change of department

IIT Jammu, after a lot of deliberations considering the advantages as well as the dis-advantages
associated with the change of department and because of its focus on interdisciplinary course
curriculum, has decided not to offer the change of department.

Introduction to credit/s and grade point/s associated with a course and the significance

A student has to take various courses to complete the degree requirements. There will be credit/s
associated with all courses, but the grade point/s might or might not be associated with the courses
depending on the category of the course.

Category of credit and grade point earning courses

In the curriculum, there are two following category of courses which are categorised in terms of
possibility of earning credits and grade points:
1. Credit earning courses
2. Grade point earning courses

Credit earning course

A course from which a student will be able to earn credit/s only, but not the grade point/s, will be termed,
henceforth, as credit earning course (CEC). To earn credit/s from a CEC, a student has to complete the
course by successfully obtaining the satisfactory grade in that CEC, and by virtue of that, the student will
be able to earn the credit/s allotted with that CEC. In case the satisfactory grade is not obtained, it is
considered that the particular CEC is not completed by that student, i.e., the student needs to re-register
to the same CEC in future semesters. If the CEC is not an optional course and s/he needs to obtain the
satisfactory grade in that particular CEC, and then only the particular CEC will be completed by that
student.

Grade point earning course

A course will be termed as grade point earning course (GPEC) if a student can earn credit/s as well as
grade points from a course. To earn grade points from a GPEC, a student has to complete the course by
successfully obtaining the minimum passing grade in that particular course. In case the minimum
passing grade is not obtained, it is considered that the particular GPEC is not completed by that student,
i.e., the student needs to re-register to the same GPEC in future semesters if the GPEC is not an
optional course and s/he needs to obtain the minimum passing grade in that GPEC, and then only the
particular GPEC will be completed by that student. It is worth to notice that by completing, i.e., by
obtaining the minimum passing grade in a GPEC, the student will be able to earn the credit/s allotted
with that particular GPEC in addition of earning the grade points. How muchgrade points a student would
be able to earn from a GPEC depends on the performance of the student in that GPEC and what grade
is assigned to the student by the CC of the particular GPEC.

7
Attendance policy

Students are requested to attend all the classes. However, 75 % attendance is mandatory to pass a

-Rainfall simulator has features suitable for studying fluvial geomorphology which include: rainfall/runoff
hydrographs for catchment areas of varying permeability; the abstraction of groundwater by wells, both with
and without surface recharge from rainfall; the formation of river features and unique to this apparatus, fluvial
mechanics.
-The unit comprises a sand tank, made of stainless steel, measuring 2 x 1 metre. Water may be input to the
sand tank from spray nozzles located above the tank (simulating rainfall) from an inlet tank simulating a river
flow or from two French drains buried in the sand at either end of the tank. The water is output either from an
outlet tank and flow measurement system located at the end of the main sand tank, from one or both of the two
wells located in the tank, or from one or both of the French drains. A large plastic sump tank is located under
the sand tank.
-Groundwater table levels (phreatic surface) are measured using 20 tapping points in the sand tank, configured
in a cruciform pattern, and displayed on a manometer bank.
-Eight spray nozzles are mounted on a gantry above the sand tank, positioned to give an even distribution
across the tank surface. The height of the gantry can be easily adjusted. Each nozzle has an associated on/off
valve, allowing a wide variety of moving rainfall patterns to be simulated.
-Two variable area flowmeters with integral adjusting valves are used to control and measure the various flows
into the tank. The use of self-sealing quick-release fittings allows the system to be configured in a variety of
different ways, enabling a wide range of demonstrations.
-The outlet tank is located at the end of the sand tank and is used for hydrographs, runoff, and river formation
demonstrations. A stepped height weir is used to adjust the outlet conditions. When performing water table
demonstrations this stepped weir is replaced with a sealing plate. The outlet tank comprises a sand trap, a
water stilling system, and a flow measurement device. The flow measurement is performed by measuring the
height of the water flowing over the outlet weir, using a direct reading inclined manometer.
-The sand trap is configured to allow the sediment to be collected in a sieve. In this way, the amount of
sediment collected over a period of time can be measured.

38
2. Double ring infiltrometer

Objectives and Principles:

-The double ring infiltrometer is a simple instrument which is used to

law.

-Several measurements can be executed simultaneously, yielding a very

reliable and accurate mean result. The double ring infiltrometer is a widely
used method of infiltration test used in many applications, i.e. design of
land drainage pipes, design of sports surfaces, isolation layers of the
communal waste, etc.

-The infiltrometer consists of two concentric metal rings, which are driven
into the soil, and of a perforated metal plate. As vertically infiltrated water
runs away to the side. The outer ring of the infiltrometer serves as a
separation. The measurement exclusively takes place in the inner ring
through which the water runs virtually vertically.

5) Plasma Physics Laboratory :

The Plasma research group is primarily involved in the research related to basic plasma physics by
theoretical, computational, and experimental methods. The present focus of the group is to understand
transport and dynamical properties of strongly coupled plasmas, a non ideal plasma with the comparable
or higher potential energy of charged species compared to their average kinetic energy. Table-top
plasma experiments have started recently with a focus on understanding the fluid-like properties of dusty
plasmas. Being part of a technology-driven academic and research environment, the group is looking
forward to getting involved in a few industrial applications of cold atmospheric plasmas. Dr. Sanat Kumar
Tiwari is leading the group.

72
6) Soft Matter Physics Laboratory :

The group’s research focuses on studying collective dynamics in active matter systems. Active matter is
an ensemble of agents with each agent consuming energy (either from surroundings or from within) to
carry out various tasks and thus remains out of equilibrium at all times. Usually, the
interaction/communication among the "active" agents results in interesting collective dynamics and these
dynamics are usually not observed at a single agent level. Furthermore, the underlying causes for these
overall dynamics are diverse. Common examples of active matter are bird flocks, fish schools, bacterial
colonies, etc. Several experimental, theoretical and computational studies aim to understand these
dynamics from basic principles. The researchers use both experimental and computational techniques to
understand the collective dynamics in these systems. For experimental work, the group studies the
collective dynamics of Marangoni surfers (or agents) on the surface of water, whose propulsion is
induced by surface tension gradients. For computational work, the group studies the collective dynamics
of active, passive particle mixtures using Dissipative Particle Dynamics, a commonly used mesoscopic
method for simulating soft matter systems

- Phase separation in binary fluid mixtures with symmetric and asymmetric Schmidt numbers: A DPD
Study (J. Chem. Phys, 2019)
