IUT follows the Semester System to conduct instructions and examinations. An acade- mic year consists of two semesters, each of sixteen weeks in length.

Each period of instruction per week in a theory subject or theoretical part of a subject constitutes one “unit” or 1.0 Credit Hour, and carries 100 marks. The weekly periods of a session subject, or session part of a subject, or tutorial part of a subject constitutes 1.50 Credit Hour, and carries 150 marks.

Examination in a theory course/theoretical part of a course consists of the following three parts.

1. Four quizzes are held and distributed evenly over the semester. The best three quiz results are considered, which carry 15 % of the total marks of the course. 2. Mid-Semester Examinations, usually around the middle of the semester on the

portion of the syllabuses covered by then, carrying 25 % of the total marks in the subject.

3. Semester Final Examinations covering the entire syllabus and carrying 60 % of the total marks in the subject.

Final grade in the theoretical part of a course shall be on the basis of the total aggregate of marks secured by the student in the quizzes, the mid-semester, and the fi nal semester examinations. A student missing any quiz or examination shall be considered to have received a zero for that quiz or examination.

The tutorial part of a course shall be assessed continuously throughout the semester in the form of quizzes, homework and library assignments. Marks will be also be earned in

theoretical or session courses.

The session, or session part of a course, shall be assessed continuously throughout the semester. In addition, a fi nal examination may be given. If a student fails in any session or practical class, he will not be allowed to sit in the written Semester Final Examination. Final grades in all courses are recorded as letter grades on the basis of aggregate marks secured in the quizzes, the mid-semester, and the fi nal examination. For any course a student must secure 45% or above of the total aggregate marks to pass the course. The following are the letter grades and their equivalent marks distribution and Grade Points. Grade Percentage Marks Grade Point/Credit Hour

A+ 80 and above 5.00 A 70 to below 80 4.00 B 60 to below 70 3.00 C 50 to below 60 2.00 D 45 to below 50 1.50 F Below 45 0.0 (Failed) S Satisfactory U Unsatisfactory

Total grade points secured divided by the total credit hours taken shall be calculated as the Grade Point Average.

A student is declared to have passed the semester examinations of the M.Sc.TE programme when he passes in all the courses of the semester with a minimum GPA of 2.50. A student failing in not more than two theoretical courses may be allowed to sit for a Referred Examination to be held normally within two weeks from the commencement of the next semester. The Examinations will cover the entire syllabus of the course. Those failing in any session course will not be eligible for Semester Final or Examinations.

The award of the Post Graduate Diploma in Technical Education is classifi ed as: • First Class with Honours

• First Class • Second Class

However, no class is awarded in the case of the Master’s of Science in Technical Educa- tion. A student securing a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.25, and above,

placed in the First Class. Other successful candidates are placed in the Second Class. Course Structure of the Master of Science In the Technical Education Programme Considering the varied roles of a technical and vocational education teacher/trainer, the curriculum framework includes courses to prepare the trainees in various aspects. This includes pedagogy, content-cum-methodology, Administration, Curriculum Development, Educational Planning, Educational Guidance and Counselling, and concept of Philosophy of technical and vocational education programme.
