C. PEDAGOGY
This course will be taught by lectures/presentations /analytical
exercises focusing on fundamental
concepts from general to specific topics, and laws, followed by
applications along with related
numerical problems. The concepts will be adequately illustrated
with numerical examples to make
-
applications of theoretical concepts clear. Students will be
motivated to take assignments/quiz/mini
projects and solve more numerical problems. Workbooks containing
analytical problems will be
available on LMS to the students for further practice.

GUIDELINES
Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell
phones and other electronic
communication devices (such as Tabs/Laptops) are not permitted
in classes during Tests or
the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in
the class room.
E-Mail and LMS: Each student in the class should have an e-mail
id and a pass word to
access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important
information Date of conducting
-
class tests, guest lectures, via LMS. The best way to arrange
meetings with us or ask specific
questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments
preferably should be
uploaded on LMS. Various research papers/reference material will
be mailed/uploaded on
LMS time to time.
Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of
75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to
appear in the end semester
examination.
Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 30%/40% marks
of the highest marks in
the class scored by a student in that subject (in that
class/group class) individually in both the
End-Semester examination and Total Marks in order to pass in
that paper.
Passing Criterion for B. Tech: minimum 30% of the highest marks
in the class
Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks
in the class
