Education System

The Institute is deemed to be university and awards its own degree. The semester scheme is followed for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The academic performance of a student is graded on a ten-point scale, the letter grades awarded to a student in all the courses (except audit courses) are converted into a semester and cumulative performance index called the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) respectively.

A system of feedback by the students about the instructor and the course is also in practice.

New Initiatives

The education system has been revamped in line with those practiced in the best Institutes of the world.

For Ph. D. programme, coursework concept has been introduced to ensure better quality of research.

New post graduate courses have been introduced and a large number of electives have been introduced to enable students to have a wider choice of subjects from inter-disciplinary areas. Courses specific to management, communication techniques and computer-aided design and programming have been introduced to keep pace with changing times. Curriculum workshops are being organized for upgrading UG and PG schemes.

There are fifteen Postgraduate programmes viz. Civil, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, Metallurgical, Structural Engineering and Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Management departments. M.E. course in Non-ferrous-(Metallurgy) was started from the session 1971-72, M.E. course in Water Resource Engineering (Civil Engg.) was started from the year 1985-86, M.E. course in Power System (Electrical Engg.) was started with effect from the session 1987-88, M.E. in Environmental Engg. in Civil Engg. Dept. was started with effect from the session 1989-90 for sponsored candidates, nominated by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, M.E. course in Electronics and Communication Engineering was started with effect from the session 1992-93. M.E. courses i.e. in Transportation Engineering (Civil Engg.), Manufacturing System Engineering (Mechanical Engg.) and Computer Aided Design in Structural Engineering were started from the session 1996-97.

The nomenclature of M. Tech. course of Computer Aided Design in Structural Engineering has been changed in to M. Tech. in Structural Engineering from the session 2006-2007. Thee new M. Tech. courses i.e. VLSI Design in Electronics & Communication Engineering Department, Energy Engineering in Mechanical Engineering Department and Chemical Engineering in Chemical Engineering Department were also started from the session 2006-2007. Three M. Sc. courses i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in the respective Departments were also started in 2006-07. A postgraduate course in Master of Management Studies which was started by CMSIC from the session 1996-97 has now been discontinued due to administrative reasons. A new MBA course has been started from the session 2006-2007.
