Preface to Second Edition
Our previous departmental information booklet was published in 2001. Seven years had
been passed. In these years, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologies have
advanced rapidly. A significant change in the technologies, inventions and applications
demands awareness of the future generation. These new changes require a revised, vivid and
dynamic look to our previous departmental information book both in academic course
outline and in the academic ordinance.
This time the information book has been thoroughly revised. The updated undergraduate and
postgraduate ordinances have been included in this book for the ease of students and
teachers. The special features in the changes are the allocation of marks for class tests, class
participation/performance and attendance. Changes are made in teacher’s profile of the
Department. After the approval of the Academic Council, the update of the syllabus is
finalized. All the teachers of the Department have contributed to update the contents of
different subjects. The editorial committee has paid extensive effort to revise and update the
booklet. They deserve the special thanks from the Department and I do appreciate their
challenging works.

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) gives the cumulative performance of the
student from first Term up to any other Term to which it refers and is computed by
dividing the total weighted grade points ( ∑CiGi ) accumulated up to the date by the
total credit hours ( ∑Ci )
Both GPA and CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal for
reporting.
28
Class participation and attendance 10%
Quizzes, Viva-Voce conducted in lab class 20%
Viva-Voce conducted centrally 20%
Performance and reports 50%
Total: 100%
iii) Project/thesis: (Continued for two Terms)
a) To be evaluated at the end of 4th year 1st Term: 20% of total marks by a
committee formed by the Department.
b) At the end of final Term 80% of the total marks to be evaluated as follows:
Presentation and viva-voce (conducted by a viva voce 20%
committee)
Supervisor (internal examiner) 40%
External examiner (any other teacher of the Department/a
member of examination committee) 20%
Total: 100%(in
two Terms)
14.2 Attendance
15.1 For theory courses, 3 class tests will be taken. Normally no more class tests will be
taken on any course.
15.2 The class teacher will assign problems to the students and take spot test and quiz
examination for assessment.
15.3 The date of class tests/quiz shall be fixed by the course teacher in consultation with
the Head of the Department.
15.4 Duration of class tests should be 20-30 minutes and quizzes and spot tests should be
10-20 minutes.
29
15.5 All class tests shall ordinarily be of equal value. The result of each individual class
test shall be posted for information of the students preferably before the next class
test is held.
16. Earned Credits, Backlog and CGPA Improvement
The courses in which a student has obtained ‘D’ or a higher grade will be counted
as credits earned by him/her. Any course in which a student has obtained ‘F’ grade
will not be counted towards his/her earned credits calculation. A student who
obtains an ‘F’ grade in any core course in any Term, he/she will have to repeat the
course. If a student obtains an ‘F’ in an optional course, he/she may choose to repeat
the course or take a substitute course, if available. F grades will not be counted for
GPA calculation but will stay permanently on the grade sheet and transcript. When
a student will repeat a Backlog course in which he/she previously obtained ‘F’
grade, he/she will not be eligible to get a grade better than B in such a course.
A student obtaining D grade in a course, will be allowed to repeat the course for the
purpose of grade improvement if CGPA of the student falls below 2.20 In such case
he/she will be awarded the new grade thus he/she obtains or retains his/her previous
grade if he/she fails. A student obtaining ‘C’ or a better grade in a course will not be
allowed to repeat the course for the purpose of grade improvement if CGPA of the
student falls below 2.20. Absence in Term final examination will result ‘F’ grade
unless he/she has withdrawn from the Term as per Article 11.7.
The minimum CGPA requirement for obtaining a B. Sc. Eng. degree is 2.20. The
performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indices, viz. GPA and
CGPA.
18.1 Honors
Candidates for Bachelor’s degree will be awarded the degree with Honors if their
CGPA is 3.75 or better.
18.2 Dean's List
In recognition of excellent performance, the names of students who maintains an
average GPA of 3.75 or above in two regular Terms of an academic year may be
published in the Dean's List in each Faculty. Students who have received an 'F'
grade in any course during any of the two consecutive regular Terms will not be
considered for Dean's List in that year.
30
18.3 University Gold Medal
University Gold Medal for outstanding graduates will be presented to the students
who secure the 1st position in each Department and whose CGPA is above or equal
to 3.75. The student must have completed his/her undergraduate course work within
four consecutive academic years with no 'F' grades and have a satisfactory
attendance to his credit.
31
Students on probation are subject to such restrictions with respect to courses and
extracurricular activities as may be imposed by the respective Head of the
Department. The minimum period of probation is one term, but the usual period is
one academic year. A student must improve himself during this period and will be
required to pass the backlog courses. Any student who does not improve
himself/herself during probation period may be suspended on receiving report from
the Head of the Department.
Petitions for reinstatement must indicate clearly the reasons for the previous
unsatisfactory academic record. It must describe the improved conditions that have
been created to prevent the recurrence of such work. Each such petition will be
considered individually on its own merits.
After consideration of the petition and after consultation with the student Adviser
and the respective Head of the Department, the Vice-Chancellor in some cases may
reinstate the student if this is the first suspension. However, a second suspension
will be regarded as final and absolute.
32
iv) If it is not possible to arrange any course or courses described in (iii), then the
students having class attendance at least 60% (sixty percent) may be allowed
to register the backlog courses as self study retaining the already obtained
marks of class tests, class performance/attendance/assignments etc. In such
case student must register the backlog courses within 3 weeks after the
commencement of respective Term.
v) Final examination for the backlog courses may be conducted with the regular
students in the same question paper and on the same day and time if possible.
Otherwise, final examination for the backlog courses will be arranged by the
Head of the Department as soon as possible.
22 Special Examination
If Short-Term is not possible to arrange, a special examination on backlog subjects
may be conducted for the students who have participated their 4 year degree course
(upto 4th year 2nd term) and have a maximum of 3 (three) backlog courses (theory)
and a shortage of maximum credits upto 12 may be allowed to register for special
backlog examination. The special backlog examination will be arranged in a
convenient time by the Head of the Department after 30 (thirty) days of publication
of results of the 4th year 2nd Term regular examination. The evaluation system will
be the same as backlog with self-study. The students willing to appear at the special
backlog examination have to apply to the Head of the Department and with his
permission must register within 7 (seven) days of publication of 4th year 2nd Term
results. A student who has failed in the special backlog examination will register the
course(s) in the next regular Terms.
23. Minimum Earned Credits and GPA Requirements for Obtaining Degree
The credit requirements for the award of Bachelor degree will be decided by the
respective ACUG following Article No.7.5. The minimum CGPA requirement for
obtaining a Bachelor degree is 2.20.
A student may take additional courses with the consent of his/her Adviser in order
to improve CGPA, but he/she may take a maximum of 15 such additional credits
beyond respective credit requirements for the degree during his/her entire period of
study.
33
26. Absence during Term
A student should not be absent from quizzes, class tests, and spot tests etc. during
the Term. Such absence will naturally lead to reduction in points/marks that count
towards the final grade. Absence in Term final examination will result in ‘F’ grades.
A student who has been absent for short periods, up to a maximum of three weeks
due to illness, should approach the course teacher(s) or the Course Coordinator for a
make-up quizzes or assignments immediately on returning to the classes. Such
request should be supported by medical certificate from University Medical Officer.
The medical certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner and endorsed by
University Medical Officer will also be acceptable only in those cases where the
student has valid reason for his/her absence from the University.
The undergraduate students of different semesters of this department have to follow the
course schedule given below. The letter prefix in any course number indicates the
department offering the course viz. EE for electrical and electronic engineering, CE for civil
engineering, ME for mechanical engineering, CSE for computer science and engineering,
Math for mathematics, Ch for chemistry, Ph for physics, Hum for humanities. The first digit
in the course number indicates the year for which the course is intended. The second digit in
the course number indicates the semester for which the course is intended. The odd
numbered courses are theory courses and the even numbered courses are
sessional/Practical/Laboratory courses.
