AICTE MODEL CURRICULUM

(Effective from the Session: 2018-19)

 AICTE MODEL CURRICULUM ORDINANCE:

MODEL CURRICULUM:
The Model Curriculum provides flexibility in designing curriculum and assigning credits based on the
course content and hour of teaching. The Model Curriculum provides an opportunity for the students to
choose courses from the prescribed courses comprising core, elective and open elective courses. The
MODEL CURRICULUM provides a cafeteria type approach in which the students can take courses of
their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses and acquired more than the required
credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning. The courses shall be evaluated on the
grading system, which is considered to be better than the conventional marks system. It is necessary to
introduce the grading system to make the uniformity among all technical institutions of India. This will
benefit the students to move across institutions within India to begin with and across countries. The
uniform grading system will also enable potential employers in assessing the performance of the
candidates. In order to bring uniformity in evaluation system and computation of the Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA) based on student’s performance in examinations, the AICTE has formulated the
guidelines to be followed.

DEFINITIONS OF KEY WORDS:

(i) University: Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Lucknow (APJAKTU).

(ii) Academic Year: Two consecutive (one odd + one even) semesters constitute one academic
year.
(iii) Semester: Each semester will consist of 15-18 weeks of academic work equivalent to 90
actual teaching days. The odd semester may be scheduled from July to December and even
semester from January to June.
(iv) Model Curriculum: The Model curriculum provides choice for students to select from the
prescribed courses (core, elective and Foundation Courses).
(v) Programme: An educational programme leading to award of a Degree.

(vi) Course: Usually referred to, as ‘papers’ is a component of a programme. All courses need
not carry the same weightage. The courses should define learning objectives and learning
outcomes. A course may be designed to comprise lectures/ tutorials/laboratory work/ field
work/ outreach activities/ project work/ vocational training/viva/ seminars/ term
papers/assignments/ presentations/ self-study etc. or a combination of some of these.

(vii) Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are
denoted by letters A+, A, B+, B, C, D, E and F.

(viii) Grade Point: It is a numerical weightage allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.

(ix) Credit: A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of
instructions. One credit is equivalent to 10-12 hours of teaching.
(x) Credit Point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.
 (xi) Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): It is a measure of academic performance of
student/s in a semester. It is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various
courses registered in a semester and the total course credits taken during that semester. It
shall be expressed up to two decimal places.
(xii) Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA): It is a measure of academic performance of
student/s at the end of the academic year. The formula used to calculate YGPA is given in
section 13.4 (b). It shall be expressed up to two decimal places.
(xiii) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of overall cumulative performance
of a student over all semesters and it will display at the end of the programme. The CGPA is
the ratio of total credit points earned by a student in various courses in all semesters and the
sum of the total credits of all courses in all the semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal
places.

(xiv) First Attempt: If a student has completed all formalities and become eligible to attend the
examinations and has attended at least one subject of passing, such attempt (first sitting)
shall be considered as first attempt.
(xv) Transcript or Grade sheet or Certificate: Based on the grades earned, a grade
sheet/certificate shall be issued to all the registered students at the end of every academic
year. The grade sheet/certificate will display the course details (code, title, number of
credits, grade secured) along with SGPA of both semesters and YGPA earned till that
academic year. Final year grade sheet shall also display the CGPA.

The Model Curriculum provides choice for students to select from the prescribed courses.

13. COMPUTATION OF SGPA AND CGPA

13.1 The Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam Technical University (APJAKTU) Lucknow adopts absolute
grading system wherein the marks are converted to grades and every semester
results will be declared with semester grade point average (SGPA). Yearly Grade Point
Average (YGPA) shall be calculated at each year by calculating from the formula given
in section 13.4 (b) of an academic year. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
shall be calculated at the end of last semester of the program. The grading system is with
the following letter grades and grade points scale as given below:

Level Outstanding Excellent Very Good Above Average Poor Fail

Good Average
Letter A+ A B+ B C D E F
Grade
Grade 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 00
Points
Score ≥ 90 < 90 < 80 < 70 < 60 < 50 < 45 < 40
(Marks) >80 ≥ 70 ≥ 60 ≥ 50 ≥ 45 ≥ 40
Range
(%) (90-100) (80-89) (70-79) (60-69) (50-59) (45-49) (40-44) (0-39)

13.2 A student obtaining Grade ‘F’ in a subject shall be considered failed in that subject
and will be required to reappear in the examination. Such students after passing the
failed subject in subsequent examination(s) will be awarded with grade
according to marks he/she scores in the subsequent examination(s).

13.3 The University has right to scale/moderate the theory exam/practical exam/sessional marks
of any subject whenever required for converting of marks into letter grades on the basis of
the result statistics of university as in usual practice.

(a) The modality for moderation of marks before the declaration of result shall be decided by
a committee of Pro-Vice Chancellor, Dean UG, Assoc. Dean UG and Controller of
Examination.

(b) The modality for moderation of marks if needed after the declaration of result shall be
decided by a committee of Pro-Vice Chancellor, Dean UG, Assoc. Dean UG, Controller
of Examination and an external member not below the rank of Professor nominated by
the Vice Chancellor.

(c) If the candidate(s) appeared in the examination but theory marks are not available due to
missing of copy by any reason, the average marks may be awarded as decided by the
committee mentioned in 13.3(a). In case of missing/unavailable of sessional marks,
 Controller of Examination can take decision as per the provision laid down by the
Examination Committee.

(d) The Committee defined in13.3 (a) shall also fix up the responsibility and recommend the
punishment for occurrence of such case(s) in13.3(c).

(e) All the matters defined under 13.3(a) to 13.3 (d) shall be executed subject to the approval
of Academic Council of the APJAKTU.

13.4 Computation of SGPA, YGPA and CGPA

The following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA), Yearly Grade
Point Average (YGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

(a) The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points
scored by student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of
all the courses undergone by a student, i.e SGPA (Si) = Σ (Ci x Gi) / ΣCi where Ci is the
number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith
course.
(b) The YGPA(Yearly Grade Point Average) is calculated at end of each year as:
YGPA= (SGPA(odd) * ∑Ci(odd)+ SGPA(even) * ∑Ci(even) / (∑Ci(odd) + ∑Ci(even))
(c) The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses
undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e. CGPA = Σ (Ci x
Si) / Σ Ci where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in
that semester.
(d) The SGPA shall be calculated at end of each semester and YGPA shall be calculated at
the end of each academic year. CGPA shall be calculated at the end of last semester
of the Program and shall be rounded off to 2 decimal places and reported in the transcripts /
grade Sheet.

(c) If such a student abandons only the ODD semester performance and prefers to study in
EVEN semester and attains the minimum credits to meet the eligibility for promotion as
given in clause 9.2 (From the performance of only EVEN semester), he/she then have to
study only the ODD semester (in which the student was detained) in the subsequent academic
