NOTE:
• Request all the faculty to review the scheme.
• It is mandatory for all the civil engineering departments to conduct a faculty meeting
and review the scheme. HOD’s are requested to coordinate on priority and send a
report/feedback to the registrar with a copy to the BOS chairman before the last date.
The same will be checked at the time of VTU LIC visit
• AICTE and VTU guidelines must be followed in the teaching process.
• Your feedback is highly appreciated on the implementation of Outcome Based
Education(OBE) and Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)
• Please suggest the teaching process for the tutorials.
• Specific suggestions are invited on internship contents
• Send your feedback before 15-10-2018 to registrar@vtu.ac.in and a copy to
aswathmu@gmail.com, academic.vtu@gmail.com

Thank you for your support in advance.
