1. PREAMBLE: The Uttar Pradesh Technical University, Lucknow had been established in 2000 for the advancement and development of technical education in U.P. All the Colleges/Institutes imparting technical education in U.P. had been affiliated to the said University. The Colleges/Institutes which had been affiliated to the said University were about 600. It had been felt that such a large number of Colleges/Institutes could not be controlled and regulated effectively by a single University. With a view to ensuring proper and effective control over the said technical Colleges/Institutes running in U.P., another Technical University at Noida in Gautam Buddha Nagar by the name of Mahamaya Technical University (MTU) was established in 2010 and the name of Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU) was changed to Gautam Buddha Technical University (GBTU), Lucknow and the Colleges/Institutes imparting technical education in Meerut, Saharanpur, Agra, Aligarh and Moradabad Divisions of U.P. have been affiliated to MTU. The Undergraduate programmes run by the University primarily aim at building on the knowledge gained by the students through the school/ college curricula by imparting new knowledge through classroom instructions, training, and other modes of teaching. It is expected that after completing the programme, the student shall acquire adequate theoretical and practical knowledge in his/her respective field. Further, he/she shall be capable of applying the same for the solution of real life problems and strive to develop/upgrade it further through higher/continuing education to reach the frontiers of knowledge in his/her field of specialization. The Undergraduate programmes lay emphasis on academic and extracurricular components designed for the integrated development of engineering/technical professionals possessing human values and ethics. Almost all students after graduation start their career in organizations where cooperative efforts and teamwork are a must for the success in their career progress. Ethics, human values and discipline are of paramount importance for meaningful cooperation and successful team efforts. The Undergraduate programmes lay equal emphasis on these extra-curricular components. The rapidly increasing volume of knowledge in different fields requires continuous updating of the course contents of various subjects in a given area of knowledge. The curriculum is, therefore, only broadly defined to make it possible for the teacher to update the contents by incorporating latest developments. In addition, the Faculty/Institution undertakes periodic review of the curriculum structure to prune the obsolete and time-worn contents and incorporate new concepts, which may become necessary in view of the changes taking place in the engineering profession and manufacturing process. Cross-disciplinary exchange of knowledge is essential for furthering the frontiers of a given branch in new areas. In view of this the Undergraduate curriculum in all branches of engineering encourages students to take-up cross-discipline courses. In the Undergraduate programme in engineering, apart from inputs of social sciences and management, environment and ecology, and materials science have been introduced across the branches. The curriculum at the Undergraduate level has been so structured that it offers enough flexibility to the students to tailor their learning process as per their personal inclinations and the desired career objectives. The curriculum in a given branch at the Undergraduate level includes academic programmes involving ingredients of classroom teaching, laboratory practice, training, seminar and project. These ingredients are specified in terms of courses with a given code specifying the subject(s) to be taught under it. Every course has a credit commensurate with the workload it involves. The students are continuously evaluated during the conduct of a course and are awarded
2
MARKS/CREDITS on the basis of their performance. The academic year is divided into two semesters and in each semester the students have to register in a branch of study for a number of courses. When a student fulfills all the criteria for a given curriculum, he/she becomes eligible for the award of the degree. A limited number of students of undergraduate degree are also offered scholarships, stipends, fee waivers, etc. A student earning credits as specified for the programme and satisfying all the requirements becomes eligible for the award of the degree after completion of the undergraduate programme. The Ordinances as embodied here are for specifying the provisions required for the purpose of smooth functioning of Undergraduate academic programmes. The Ordinances and Regulations have been framed to lay down the procedures for implementation and clarify other details of the provisions enshrined in the Ordinances.
