Note: PCC- Professional Core Course; PCE- Professional Elective Course
Each Course (PCC/PCE) shall have case study discussion and may be considered as a part of assignment.
Theory courses internal assessment (CIE) shall be based on internal test (50% weightage), 50% weightage may be given to other continues
assessment carried out during the teaching learning processes. Course coordinator may select suitable assessment techniques/tools for continues
evaluation such as weekly Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) quiz, higher order cognitive level questions as assignment, and cas e study questions/
any other assignment useful for learning with a minimum cognitive level at the application level. Average marks of three internal tests have to be
considered for CIE along with other continues evaluations.
Laboratory courses internal assessment shall be based on internal test (50% weightage), remaining 50% weightage shall be given to continues
evaluation of practical execution during regular laboratory hours. During regular laboratory hours students may be asked to solve the extended
versions of the laboratory program/problem, and demonstrate higher order cognitive level such as analysis and design programming assignment.
During the laboratory hours after the program execution, technical quiz may be conducted. Wherever laboratory is also having project work
students may be asked to solve novel problems in their projects work.
Integrated Professional Core Course (IPCC): Refers to Professional Theory Core Course Integrated with practical of the same course. Credit for
IPCC can be 04 and its Teaching–Learning hours (L : P : SDA) can be considered as (3 : 2 : 0) or (2 : 2 : 2). The theory part of the IPCC shall be
evaluated both by CIE and SEE. The practical part shall be evaluated by only CIE (no SEE). However, questions from the practi cal part of IPCC shall
be included in the SEE question paper.
Audit Courses /Ability Enhancement Courses Suggested by BOS (ONLINE courses): Audit Courses: These are the courses that will bridge the gap
between the learned courses and courses intended to learn in feature. Ability Enhancement Course: These courses are designed to help students
enhance their skills in communication, language, and personality development. These are the ONLINE courses; recommended course list session-
wise will be published in advance for the information of students. These courses are not counted for the vertical progression, however the
students have to study and pass these courses before completion of the program. As ONLINE courses are available for the parti cular session, for
failed student the particular course if it is not available in the next session, he/she shall be permitted to select the different course from ongoing
session. Those, who do not take-up/complete shall be declared as fail degree will not be awarded to such students.
Skill development activities:
Students and course instructor/s to involve either individually or in groups to interact together to enhance the learning and application skills of the
study they have undertaken. The students with the help of the course teacher can take up technical –activities which will enhance their skill or the
students should interact with industry (small, medium and large), understand their problems or foresee what can be undertaken for study in the
form of research/testing/projects, and for creative and innovative methods to solve the identified problem.
The students shall
(1) Gain confidence in modelling of systems and algorithms.
(2) Work on different software/s (tools) to Simulate, analyze and authenticate the output to interpret and conclude. Operate the simulated
system under steady-state conditions to study the system with respect to thermal study, transient and steady-state operations, etc.
(3) Handle advanced instruments to enhance technical talent.

3
 28032023/V1

(4) Involve in case studies and field visits/ fieldwork.
(5) Accustom with the use of standards/codes etc., to narrow the gap between academia and industry.
All activities should enhance student’s abilities to employment and/or self-employment opportunities, management skills, Statistical analysis, fiscal
expertise, etc.
Bridge course: 22MCA110-BC
22MCA110-BC: Bridge course is a non-credit course introduced to the students who admits into MCA program from non-computer science
background. Students have to secure eligibility by scoring 50% marks in aggregate (CIE and SEE).
