2. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM

The University follows multi-media approach for imparting instruction to its learners. It comprises :
 Self Instructional Course Material package.
 Supporting audio-video programmes.
 Face-to-face interaction with academic counsellors at Study Centres and depending on programme
requirement at work centers.

8
 Practicals at designated institutions
 Counselling tests.
 Project work.
 Work-related field projects.
 Technical and field visits.
 Telecast of video programmes on the National Network of Doordarshan
 Broadcast of audio programmes by All India Radio (selected stations).
2.1 Course Preparation
The University prepares the self-instructional print material and audio-video programmes in participation
with academia and R & D and practicing personnel. In particular, print materials for Engineering and
Technology courses are being specially prepared by the in-house faculty of the University in assistance with
course preparation project teams drawn from IITs, Engineering Colleges, Universities, R & D institutions.
Industries and Professional bodies from all over the country. In the process, these materials are scrutinized
by the content experts, supervised by the instructional unit designers and edited by the language experts at
IGNOU before they are sent for printing.
Similarly, audio and video programmes are produced in consultation with the course-writers, other technical
experts, in-house faculty and producers and wherever feasible in assistance with other universities, R & D
institutions and industries. These programmes are reviewed by the faculty as well as outside media experts
and edited or modified suitably, wherever necessary, before they are dispatched to the study centers and
Doordarshan for broadcast.
2.2 Credit System
The University follows the “Credit System” for its programmes. Each credit in IGNOU system amounts to
30 hours of study comprising all learning activities. Thus, an four-credit course involves 120 study hours.
This helps the student to understand the academic effort one has to put in, in order to successfully complete
a course. Completion of an academic programme requires successful clearing of both the assignments and
the term end examination of each course in the programme.
2.3 The Print Material
Self-instructional printed material is the mainstay of learning at IGNOU. In concrete terms, the print
material comprises books/booklets, which are called “Blocks”, each Block having lessons, which are called
“Units”. Each Unit is structured in such a way so as to facilitate self-study. Number of Blocks in a course
depends on course-credits.
The first page of each block indicates the numbers and titles of the units constituting the block. This is
followed by a brief introduction to the block.
Each unit begins with mention of unit “Structure”, wherein numbers and titles of each section/sub-section
comprising the unit are indicated.
“Structure” is followed by the first section on “Introduction”, which attempts to forge a link with topics in
various sections by briefly outlining what is proposed to be done in the unit, and, in doing so, states the
learning “Objectives”, through which student is told of what one expects him/her to attain when he/she has
completed the unit.
Section on “Introduction” is followed by other Sections covering various topics under the unit. In the
Section “Summary”, coming towards the end, the unit then summarises what has been said in the whole
unit to enable the student to recall the main points.
Important words/terms are explained under the section “Key Words” to facilitate comprehension.

1.m+1 Summary
1.m+2 Key Words/Glossary
1.m+3 Further Readings
1.m+4 Answers to SAQs
The section, “Some Useful Books” or “Further Reading” is meant to suggest some books for additional
reading.
While some of the suggested books for reading will be available at the study center library, some may not
be. Therefore, you are suggested to make efforts to get access to other Institution/Engineering College
libraries located in and around your place of work and/or place of stay. These books may also be available
with your employer’s library.
In each unit, generally after each section, there are Self-check Exercises under the caption “Self-Assessment
Questions (SAQs)”. Space is given for you to write your answers to the questions set in these self-
assessment questions (SAQs). Each unit invariably ends with answers to the questions set in these SAQs.
While reading the units mark the words/phrases that you do not fully understand. Look these up under the
section Key Words/Glossary or in a dictionary. If there are certain ideas or concepts you do not understand,
look these up in an earlier unit(s) first, they may be explained there. Read the unit a second or third time till
you have understood the point. However, if you still do not understand something, consult your counselor at
the Study Centre for clarification.
Proper comprehension of the units and the points/notes made by you while reading through the units would
help you in answering the Self-Assessment Questions given in the units. You may have to go through some
pages of the unit again to find answer to these exercises. Once you have written the answer in the blank
space provided in each unit for the purpose, you can compare your answers with the answers given under the

10
section “Solutions/Answers to SAQs”, You must overcome the temptation of having a furtive look at the
answers given at the end of the unit before attempting the questions.
Please note that the answers to the Self-Assessment Questions are not to be submitted to the University or
the Study Centre for correction or evaluation. As the caption “Self-Assessment Questions” itself suggests,
these exercises will enable you to check your own progress and find out whether you have mastered the
contents of the unit or not.
In addition to SAQs, sections under units can also have solved examples.
2.4 Audio-Video Material
In addition to the print material, each course may have audio and video lessons. The audio-video material is
supplementary to print material, though in situation it may be integral to print material, in the sense, some of
the Periodic Assignment questions for the course/course-topic, may also be based on A-V material. Hence,
we advise you to make use of A-V material, as that will help you to understand the subject better. Video
lessons are transmitted by Doordarshan on national network on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from
6.30 AM to 7.00 AM in the morning. Transmission schedule of Programme related to your courses can be
obtained from Study Centres.
2.5 Support Services
In order to provide individualized support to its learner, the University has a number of Study Centres
throughout the country. These are coordinated by 30 Regional Centres. At the Study Centre, the students
interact with the Academic Counsellors and other students, refer books in the Library, watch/listen the
video/audio cassettes and interact with the Coordinator on administrative and academic matters.
Learners may seek the help of following university functionaries for sorting out the problems indicated :

2.6 Programme Delivery

The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional universities. The
open university system is more learner-oriented, as the student is an active participant in the teaching and
learning process. Most of the instruction is imparted through distance rather than face-to-face
communication.

11
The university follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises :
(a) Written Material : The written material for both theory and practical components of the
programme is supplied to the students in batches of blocks for every course (on an average of
4 blocks per course). A block which comes in the form of a booklet comprises 3 to 5 units.
(b) Audio-Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes which
have been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding
of the course material given to the student. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes
duration. The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the study centers during the
hours of the counselling session.
(c) Counselling Sessions : Normally counselling sessions are held as per a schedule drawn before
hand by the Coordinator. They are held on week-ends, that is to say, Saturday and Sunday of the
week. There will be a minimum of 10 counselling sessions of 2 hours duration for each course
(20 hours for each course on an average) of the programme devoted to theoretical aspects.
Counselling schedules will be displayed at your respective study centre.
2.7 Counselling
The Study Centre will organize counselling sessions for all courses of study. Here, students can take help
from the counsellors in their study. The Counselling sessions are not meant to be classroom lectures. You
must study the material and try to assimilate it. If, however, you still have problems, you must consult your
counsellor for clarification.
When applicable, the counsellor will also organize sessions where you can listen to/view audio-video
programmes, though exact dates of Counselling Sessions will be announced by the Study Centres
concerned.
It is suggested to attend all the contact sessions at your Study Centre as these contact sessions are important
to understand self progress. This also gives an opportunity to meet your classmates and to discuss the topics
you are reading. Smaller problems can be overcome by group discussions. So, be regular to your Study
Centres.
The University welcomes participation in its Engineering Programmes by Universities, technological
institutions, engineering colleges, R & D institutions, industries and their training establishments, agencies
of employer groups and centres of professional bodies by offering specialized course-specific educational
inputs, such as :
(a) access to academia and practicing professionals as tutors/counsellors,
(b) laboratory/workshop use,
(c) access to library, technical documents and training software of institutions/industries for
educational use,
(d) access to computer facility,
(e) access to site equipments, site testing facility and actual work situations for work-related
learning components,
(f) in case of need, access to additional counselling space and seminar room, etc.
The University will seek collaborative help and support of other institutions/industries/organizations in its
educational endeavour at the locations of the Study Centres.
2.8 Study Centres
To provide effective student spport, IGNOU has set up a number of Study Centres and Regional Centres all
over the country (See Appendix–I and II). As of today, the University has more than 1000 Study Centres
throughout the country. The programmes in Engineering and Technology are offered at 30 Study Centres.

12
You will be allotted one of these study centres taking into consideration your place of residence or work.
However, each study centre can handle only a limited number of students and despite our best efforts, it may
not always be possible to allot the study centre of your choice. The list of study centres for Engineering
Programmes is provided in the Appendix–I.
Each Study Centre will have :
 A Coordinator, who will coordinate different activities at the centre.
 An Assistant Coordinator and other supporting staff.
 Counsellors in different subjects to provide counselling and guidance to you in the subjects you
have chosen.
A Study Centre will have following six major functions :
(i) Tutorial/Counselling : Tutorial/Counselling is an important aspect of the Open University
system. Face-to-face contact-cum-counselling for the Courses will be provided at the Study
Centres. Generally, there are 10 counselling sessions for the 4-credits courses and 5 sessions for
the 2-credit courses; and each counselling session will be of 2 hours duration.
The detailed programme of the contact-cum-counselling sessions will be sent to you by the
Coordinator of your Study Centre. In these sessions you will get an opportunity to discuss your
problems pertaining to the courses of your study with the Counsellors.
(ii) Evaluation of Assignments : The evaluation of your assignments (TMA) will be done by the
Counsellors at the Study Centre. The evaluated assignments will be returned to you by the
Counsellors.
(iii) Library : Every Study Centre will have a library having relevant course materials, some
reference books suggested for supplementary reading as well as audio-video materials prepared
for the course(s).
In this context, it is submitted that engineering subjects always will have large reference needs
and all these references may not be available at the study centre library. Therefore, students are
recommended to explore the possibilities of getting access to other institution/engineering
colleges libraries in and around their place of work and/or stay. Further, your employer’s library
may also have some of the reference books.
(iv) Information and Advice : You will be given relevant information about the courses offered by
the University. Facilities are also provided to give you guidance in choosing your courses.
(v) Audio-Video Facilities : The Study Centres will be provided with audio-video equipment to
help you. Make use (where applicable) of the audio and video cassettes prepared for different
courses. Media notes of these audio/video programmes will also be available at the Study
Centres. This will help you to know the contents of each programme.
(vi) Interaction with Fellow-students : In the Study Centres you will have an opportunity to
interact with fellow students. This may lead to the formation of self-help groups.
2.9 Individualized Employer Support for a Learner Employee
Finally, every student/learner admitted to a programme in engineering is attached to a study center of the
University. As the engineering programmes are addressed to learners who are employed, the University
recognizes that, more often than not, the employing organization of a learner will not be a study center of the
university. However, the said employing organization may be in a position to offer to its learner employee
some of the specialized support services like : individualized access to professional(s) of the organization as
tutor/counsellor, access to technical library, computer; access to site; etc.
2.10 Residential Term for Laboratory Courses
Laboratory courses would be conducted through a Residential Term, normally, of maximum of 2 weeks for
a 2-credit Laboratory course and of one week for a 1-credit Laboratory course. The exact time-table for a
Residential Term, which depending on availability of facilities may cover the duration in one time-slot or in

13
more than one time-slot, will be announced in the year when the Laboratory Courses will be offered. These
courses would normally be implemented at an Engineering College or at Regional Centre’s tele-learning
Centre or at an equivalent organization collaborating with the University and would generally be scheduled
in summer or winter or other convenient vacation time for these institutions.
The students will then be required to attend these Residential Terms at the dates to be announced by study
centre/from time to time.
The counselling during these laboratory courses would be available from academia and professionals in
terms of laboratory demonstrations, technical visits, work on site projects, tutorial assistance and gap
lectures as per the need etc. Where possible, A-V instruction will also be made use of.
Evaluation Scheme for Laboratory Courses
Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in terms of grade
wise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering programmes given in Section 5. In
other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D and E grades.
(a) Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components.
Component (i) 70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out
by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study
Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counselors as per
the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group.
Component (ii) 30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided
experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory
course/course-topic session after the completion of all guided experiments.
(b) Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided
experiments.
(c) The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses.
(d) The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two
components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in
laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith
an overall marks of 50%.
(e) A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course
topic will not be considered for evaluation.
Finally, following is a conceptual schematic of educational organization aggregating all the student support
services discussed in last few sub-sections, for imparting engineering education through distance mode.

3. PROGRAMMES IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

3.1 Approach to Programme Development

In Engineering and Technology areas, the University has planned to develop employment related continuing
education programmes aiming at increased job potential and economic advantage for the learner. The
programmes are to be at tertiary level.
The Learner Group
In the first instance, the programmes are to target at learners who are technical diploma holders of a
polytechnic and are employed. Thus, against above minimum qualifications, the learners will represent :
(a) Existing work-force,
(b) First entrants to the work-place,
(c) Those desirous of second chance of learning, i.e., elderly (aged) working population,
(d) Those in need of training for technology upgrading, and
(e) Those with potential for emerging employment areas.
Participation by Employer Groups and Industry
In concrete terms, the University proposes to identify specific areas in Engineering and Technology for
programme development in consultation with employing agencies at central and state levels including
Governmental, Public and Private Sector organizations and Professional Bodies, so as to reflect in the
curriculum design, the functional education and training needs of the targeted learner group at the
workplace.
Subsequently, the University visualizes that these and such other industrial organizations and professional
Bodies and their professionals and experts will participate with the University in the tasks of preparation of
instructional material for such functional curriculum as also in its implementation, thereby making the
programme preparation and implementation endeavour a participative outcome between the University and
industry.
3.2 Programmes on Offer
IGNOU has planned employment related Engineering Programmes for Technical Diploma holders of a
polytechnic who are employed. Towards this, in the first instance, the University has identified the

credit for Theory and Rs. 1000/- per credit for Laboratory Courses + Rs. 100/- towards the Registration
Fee.)

5. DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME

Minimum Duration : 1 Year

Maximum Duration : 3 Years

6. EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES

The salient features of the proposed evaluation system of Diploma Programmes are as follows :
(i) The students will be awarded marks in continuous assessment and term end components as
given below :
(a) Laboratory Courses
Guided Component 70%
Unguided Component 30%
(b) Theory Courses
Continuous Assessment 30%
Term End Examination 70%

16
(ii) Thus, a student will receive marks for Continuous Evaluation part (Periodic Assignment) and
for Term End Examination part for each theory course. To clear a course, a student will have to
clear both the segments of the course. Similarly, for laboratory course, one has to clear
separately the guided and unguided components. Following table gives minimum percentage of
marks required for the clearance of the course :
Evaluation Component’s part % of marks for
for the Course clearance
Continuous Evaluation ≥ 45%
Term-end Examination ≥ 45%
Guided Component ≥ 45%
Unguided Component ≥ 45%
Overall Performance ≥ 50%

(iii) To facilitate statement of overall performance at any point of time during the programme or at
the end of the programme, the calculation of overall percentage will be based on the weighted
average system and the precision will be up to the one point after the decimal. Calculations will
be carried out using the following scheme :

C1P1 + C2P2 + C3P3 + . . .

Overall Percentage =
C1 + C2 + C3 + . . .

where C1, C2 … denote credits associated with courses taken by the student and P1, P2 … denote
the percentage of marks awarded in respective courses.
(iv) The divisions will be decided as follows :
1. Second division will be at 50% and up to less than 60%.
2. First division will be at 60% and up to less than 75%
3. Distinction with First division will be at 75% and above.

(v) If needed, the grades for each subject can be awarded on the basis of percentage marks obtained
as given below :
 A Grade for 80% and above,
 B Grade for 70% and above,
 C Grade for 60% and above,
 D Grade for 50% and above, and
 E Grade for less than 50%.
6.1 Assignments
Assignments – constitute the continuous evaluation components of a course/course-topic. Continuous
Evaluation for a course/course-topic carries 30% weightage, while 70% weightage is given to the term-end
examinations. The marks that you get in your Continuous Evaluation Components will be counted in your
final result. Therefore, you are advised to take your Continuous Evaluation Components seriously.
More specifically, you have to attempt the assignments compulsorily. You will not be allowed to
appear for the term-end examination for a course if you do not submit all assignments in time for that
course.

17
The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive from us
and also to help you get through the courses by providing feedback to you. The information given in the
printed course material should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the
non-availability of extra reading material for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access
to other books, you may make use of them. But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you
concentrate mainly on the printed course material and made use of your personal experience.
Whenever you receive a set of assignments, check them immediately and ask for missing pages, if any, from
Registrar, Material Production & Distribution Division, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110068
or the Coordinator of your Study Center (Proforma – III).
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should ensure that you
have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you poor grades.
You must submit your assignment according to the schedule indicated in the assignment itself.
The University Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments received after the due
date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date.
For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the Coordinator of
your Study Centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignment within a month after
submission, please try to get it from your study center personally. This may help you to improve upon future
assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected assignment responses received by you after
evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University in case any problem arises.
Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The discrepancy noticed by
you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Coordinator of the Study Centre, so
that the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration and Evaluation Division at the
Headquarters.
Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, alongwith the assignment. Send you doubts in a
separate cover to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi,
New Delhi – 110 068. When doing so give your complete Enrolment No., Name, Address, Title of the
Course/Course-topic and the Number of the Unit or the Assignment, etc. on top of your letter.
Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA)
(i) Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date of submission on the
top right corner of the first page of your response sheet.
(ii) Write the Programme Title, Course-topic Code, Course-topic Title, Assignment Code and Name
of Your Study Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.
Course-topic Code and Assignment Code may be reproduced from the Assignment. The
top of the first page of your response sheet for each assignment should be like this :
ENROLMENT NO. _______________
PROGRAMME TITLE :_________________ NAME : _________________________
COURSE CODE : ______________________ ADDRESS : ______________________
COURSE TITLE : ______________________ _________________________________
______________________________________ _________________________________
ASSIGNEMNT CODE : _________________ SIGNATURE : ____________________
STUDY CENTRE : _____________________ DATE : __________________________

(iii) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the
assignments itself.
(iv) Go through the units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question,
rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. While
answering an essay type question, give adequate attention to introduction and conclusion. The

18
introduction must offer your brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to develop
it. The conclusion must summarise your response to your question. Make sure that the answer is
logical and coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs. The answer
should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have attempted
all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer, write down the
final version neatly and underlining the points you wish to emphasise. While solving
numericals, user proper units and give working notes wherever necessary.
(v) Use only foolscape size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very
thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This
may facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments on the margins at appropriate places.
(vi) Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not reproduce your
answers from the units sent to you by the University. If you reproduce from units, you will get
poor marks for the respective question.
(vii) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of
such students will be rejected.
(viii) Write each assignment separately. All answer in the assignments should be written in
continuity.
(ix) Write the respective question number with each answer.
(x) The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the study center allotted to
you. Under no circumstances you should send the tutor marked response sheets to the
Evaluation Division at Headquarters for evaluaton.
(xi) After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre, get the acknowledgement from the
Coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
(xii) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor Marked
Assignments only to the Original Study Centre until the change of study center is agreed to and
effected by the University.
6.2 Evaluation for Laboratory Courses
(a) Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in
terms of gradewise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering
programmes. In other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D
and E grades.
(b) The method for evaluation is as given below :
Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components.
Component (i) 70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out
by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study
Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counsellors as per
the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group.
Component (ii) 30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided
experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory
course/course topic session after the completion of all guided experiments.
(c) Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided
experiments.
(d) The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses.
(e) The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two
components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in the

19
laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith
an overall marks of 50%.
(f) A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course
topic will not be considered for evaluation.
6.3 Term-end-Examination
As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the evaluation system. Term End
Examination carries 70% weightage in the final result.
The University conducts term-end examinations twice a year, i.e. in June and December. You can take the
examination after the completion of the course. In the first year you can take the examination in December,
failing which you can take the same in June and December, of subsequent years within the total span of the
programme. Similarly, in the case of second year courses you can take the examinations in December,
failing which you can appear in June or December of subsequent years. Same pattern will apply to third year
courses, where applicable.
In case you fail to score 45% marks in the Term End Examination part of a course-topic, you will be eligible
to reappear at the next Term End Examination for that course-topic as and when it is held, within the total
span of the programme.
To be eligible to appear in the term-end examination in any course/course-topic in a given year, you
are required to fulfill the following four conditions :
(i) You should have registered in that course/course-topic in the given year.
(ii) You should have paid the registration fees for the course/course-topic in that year.
(iii) You should have completed the submission of assignments for the respective course/course-
topic.
(iv) You should have submitted the examination form in time (which is explained later).
Examination date-sheets (schedule which indicates the date and time of examination for each course) are
sent to all the study centers approximately 5 months in advance. The same is also notified through IGNOU
News Letter from time to time. Thus, normally, the date-sheet for June examinations are sent in the months
of January and December examinations in the month of July. You are advised to see whether there is any
clash in the examinations dates of the courses/course-topics, you wish to take, i.e. examination of any two
courses/course-topic you wish to take are scheduled on the same day at the same time. If there is any clash,
you are advised to choose one of them in that examination and the other course in the next examination, i.e.
December or June as the case may be.
It is an essential prerequisite for you to submit the Examination Form for taking examination in any
course. Copies of the examination forms are available at Study Centres/Regional Centres/SRE&D at
Headquarters. A copy is also enclosed here at Proforma-V in this booklet. You can take photocopy of this
form and use it. Only one form is to be submitted for all the course/course-topic in one term-end
examination. There is no separate fee for the examinations.
Properly filled-in examination form is to be submitted to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation),
Indira Gandhi National Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. The last date for submission of
examination forms is 31st March for the examinations to be held in June and 30 th September for examinations
to be held in December. However, examination forms may also be submitted within 20 days of last date, i.e.
20th April and 20th October for June and December examinations respectively with a late fee of Rs. 100 payable
with the form. Examinations forms received at the Headquarters after the last date with late fee shall be
rejected.

After receiving the examination form, the University will send intimation slip to you before the
commencement of examinations. If you do not receive the intimation slip 15 days before the commencement
of examinations, you must contact your Study Centre or Regional Centre or Student Registration and
Evaluation Division at the Headquarters. If your name is registered for examinations in the list sent to the

20
Study Centre, even if you have not received intimation slips or misplaced the intimation slip, you can take
the examination by showing your Identity Card (Student Card) to the Examination Centre Superintendent.
Your Study Centre is normally your examination centre. A change of examination centre is permissible in
exceptional cases and for this you have to make a request to the Registrar (Student Registration and
Evaluation) atleast one month before the commencement of examinations.
Your enrolment number is your Roll Number for examinations. Be careful in writing it. Any mistake
in writing the Roll Number will result in non-declaration of your result.
It is your duty to check whether you are registered for that course and eligible to appear for the examination
or not. If you neglect this and take the examination without being eligible for it, your result will be
cancelled.
Study centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot send communications to all the students
individually. All the important communications are sent to the Coordinators of the Study Centres and
Regional Director. The Coordinators would display a copy of such important circular/notification on the
notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all the students. You are, therefore, advised to get in
touch with your Coordinator for day-to-day happenings so as to get advance information about assignments,
submission of examination forms, date-sheet, list of students admitted to a particular examination,
declaration of result, etc.
While communicating with the University regarding examination, please clearly write your enrolment
number and complete address. In the absence of such details, we may not be able to attend to your problems.

7. AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

7.1 Gold Medal

The University awards gold medals and certificates to the passing out topper students in each year of the
programmes, who have secured the highest aggregate in their programme in the minimum time duration and
have cleared all the courses in one attempt.

8. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, UNIVERSITY RULES AND OTHER

USEFUL INFORMATION

8.1 IGNOU News Letters

The University publishes news letter three times a year in English as well as in Hindi. It is mailed to each
student free of cost. All the important information relevant to the students is published in this news letter.
8.2 Reservation
The University provides reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward
Classes, Wards of Para Military Forces and Physically Handicapped students as per the Government of India
Rules.
8.3 Scholarships and Reimbursement of Fees
Reserved Categories, viz. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Physically Handicapped students have to
pay the fee at the time of admission to the University alongwith other students.
Physically Handicapped students admitted to IGNOU are eligible for Government of India scholarships.
They are advised to collect blank scholarship forms from the respective State Government Directorate of
Social Welfare or Office of the Social Welfare Officer and submit the filled-in forms back to them through
the Regional Director concerned for reimbursement of programme fee.
Similarly, SC/ST students have to submit their scholarship forms to the respective State Directorate of
Social Welfare, or Office of the Social Welfare Officer, through the Regional Director for reimbursement of
programme fee.
21
8.4 Change of Elective/Programme Medium
Change of Elective/Programme/Medium is not permitted in Engineering Programmes.
8.5 Change of Address and Study Centre/Region
IGNOU takes special efforts to ensure adequate support services for students of Engineering and
Technology programmes. This is done by exploring collaborative specialized educational inputs from
Engineering College, Industry, R & D Centres, Centres of Professional Bodies, etc. at the location of the
Study Centre. This understandably calls for imaginative networking of local support facilities at the study
centre, with an extra need to make maximum use of facilities generated.
In view of the above, a student from a Region, once admitted to programme and attached to a study centre
would, through his study years, normally not be allowed to a change a Study Centre or the Region. The
student is therefore strongly advised to keep this operational aspect/constraint in mind while he chooses a
Region and Study Centre for admission.
However, if after admission and during programme study years there is a very unforeseen and critical
reason, then the University may consider, such request for change of study centre or Region, on payment of
charges as per University rules, if and only if, firstly, the programme and courses for which the student is
admitted are also available in the Region and at the study centre for change, secondly, if the student satisfies
the minimum admission requirements for the programme at the new study centre and, thirdly, if the study
centre proposed has a vacancy in the programme.
Change/Correction of Address and Study Centre
There is a printed card for change/correction of address and change of Study Centre, that will be dispatched
alongwith the study material. In case, there is any correction/change in the address of a change of Study
Centre, the students are directed to make use of the printed card addressed to the Regional Director of the
concerned Regional Centre.
Counselling facilities are not available for all Programmes at all the Centres. As such, students are advised
to make sure that counselling facilities are available, for the subject he/she has chosen, at the new center
opted for. Request for change of Study Centre are normally granted subject to availability of seats for the
programme at the new centre asked for. Change of Address and Study Centre is not permitted until
admissions are finalised.
Change of Region
When a student wants transfer from one region to another, he/she has to write to that effect to the Regional
Centre from where he/she is seeking a transfer marking copies to the Regional Centre where he/she would
like to be transferred to and also to Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation Division), IGNOU,
Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. Further, he/she has to obtain a certificate from the Coordinator of the
Study Centre from where he/she is seeking transfer from regarding the number of assignments submitted.
The Regional Director from where the student is seeking the transfer will transfer all records including
details of payment to the Regional Centre where the student is going under intimation to the Registrar
(Student Registration and Evaluation Division) and the student.
8.6 Validity of Admission Lists
Candidates who are offered admission have to join on or before the due dates specified by the University. In
case they want to seek admission for the next session, they have to apply afresh and go through the
admission process again.
8.7 Incomplete and Late Applications
Incomplete and late applications forms/Re-registration forms, wrong options of courses or electives,
furnishing false information will be summarily rejected without any intimation to the candidates. The
candidates are, therefore, advised to fill the relevant columns carefully and enclose all the attested copies of
the necessary certificates asked for, and submit the form to the Regional Director concerned on or before the
due date. In this regard no correspondence will be entertained.
8.8 Registration

22
8.8.1 The requirement of registration for the course under the engineering programme is an yearly one. In
other words, a student has to register for courses every year. This registration can be the First
Registration (FR), which a student has to do for courses he is taking for the first time, or it can be
Re-Registration (RR), which the student has to do for courses he is pursuing second or more times
for any reason.
No student, who is not formally registered, either under first registration or re-registration, for the
courses during an year can avail for himself the student support services and offer himself to
complete the course requirements by appearing for examinations during that year.
8.8.2 In a given year a student can register for maximum of 32 credits.
8.8.3 While registering for in any given year, the first responsibilities of the student will always be to
register under re-registration for course/course-topic from previous year(s) not cleared for any
reason.
8.8.4 Like First Registration, Re-registration for each course/course-topic will be accompanied by
payment of Re-registration fees as per University rules.
8.8.5 However, a student can “withdraw” from course(s)/course-topic(s) or “completely withdraw” from
all course, registered in an year. No fees will be refunded in that event. Further, such student will
have to re-register in courses from which he has thus withdrawn in the next available year.
Fees once paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.
8.9 Simultaneous Registration
A student is permitted to register for only one programme in a given academic session. In other words
“Simultaneous Registration” is not permitted. Violation of this rule results in cancellation of admission to
the programme and forfeiture of the programme fees paid.
8.10 Credit Transfer and Exemption
Programme of the University have defined programme structures. If at the time of admission itself, a student
comes having completed some of the courses (from the programme structure) from a recognized/accredited
university of the country, then, on a case by case basis, the student will be given credit for those courses as
per the modalities detailed below :
Definitions
(i) “Credit transfer” means allowing a student of another university to get admitted to IGNOU for
completing any equivalent degree/diploma programme on the basis of credits obtained by
him/her from that University. A student thus admitted need not write IGNOU examinations for
such courses which are found equivalent to and for which appropriate credits would be deemed
to have been acquired for and purposes of fulfilling the IGNOU requirements for award of a
degree/diploma.
(ii) “Exemption” means “exemption from course work/studies only”, i.e. if a student is allowed
“exemption” in a particular courses, he/she is not required to take the course (those courses) as
other students do but he/she will have to sit for the examinations in that course/those courses
and clear it/them successfully.
Eligibility
The credit transfer scheme is applicable only to those candidates who have not completed their degree from
any other recognized university yet willing to complete through IGNOU as per rules provided.
Modalities
(i) Normally credit transfer or exemption will be applicable only from a diploma to an equivalent
post graduate degree.
(ii) Credit transfer will be permissible only in the case of students coming from institutions
established by an Act of Parliament or by an Act of State Legislature; or an institution “deemed
to be university”, or an “institution of national importance”, or institutions recognized by
statutory bodies like AICTE, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR, etc.

23
(iii) Credit transfer can be done only on the basis of individual courses and not on the basis of
year-to-year courses as in conventional institutions.
(iv) In order to get a diploma/degree from IGNOU a student will be required to earn at least 50%
credits from IGNOU. For example, a B. Tech. Student should earn at least 64 credits out of 128
credits from IGNOU for an IGNOU’s degree.
(v) The degree certificate or the marks list thus given to the students will specifically indicate the
credits earned in IGNOU and those obtained from other institution.
(vi) Students exempted from studying the courses may take the examination for the exempted
courses during any of the two Term-end-Examinations.
Rules and Regulations
(i) Students who want to avail credit transfer shall get registered with IGNOU for the programme
they want to study. All the applications for this purpose should invariably be addressed to
Dy. Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation Division), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi,
New Delhi – 110 068.
(ii) The students have the choice to opt the electives of second year in the first year and third year in
second year of their studies.
(iii) The students by opting the courses in such a way to complete the balance credits can reduce the
period of study prescribed for the completion of the degree programme and thereby avail no
payment of fees to the period not covered. The student availing credit transfer would be allowed
to complete the programme early provided they do not offer more than 32 credits in a year.
(iv) IGNOU “programme” and “courses” are “subjects” or “papers” respectively of conventional
universities.
(v) Students seeking exemption and allowed permission to take their examinations may be supplied
with study material/Audio-Video material from the university on payment, if they so wish.
(vi) Students seeking exemption should apply directly to the Dy. Registrar (SRE&D),
Block 12, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068, enclosing a Demand Draft for
Rs. 50/- per course drawn in the name of IGNOU and payable at New Delhi, attested copies of
Marks Sheet and attested copies of syllabus of such courses, covered by them. Such cases will
be examined separately by the Equivalence Committee at the Headquarters of the University.
This process will take a minimum period of three months from the date of receipt of such
requests with all the relevant documents by the above concerned officer.
Disputes on Admission and Other University Matters
The place of jurisdiction for filing of a Suit if necessary will be only at New Delhi/Delhi.
