3.1
Course Preparation
The University prepares the self-instructional print material and audio-video programmes in participation with academia and R & D and practicing personnel. In particular, print materials for Engineering and Technology courses are being specially prepared by the in-house faculty of the University in assistance with course preparation project teams drawn from IITs, Engineering Colleges, Universities, R & D institutions. Industries and Professional bodies from all over the country. In the process, these materials are scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instructional unit designers and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before they are sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video programmes are produced in consultation with the course-writers, other technical experts, in-house faculty and producers and wherever feasible in assistance with other universities, R & D institutions and industries. These programmes are reviewed by the faculty as well as outside media experts and edited or modified suitably, wherever necessary, before they are dispatched to the study centers and Doordarshan for broadcast.
3.2 Credit System The University follows the “Credit System” for its programmes. Each credit in IGNOU system amounts to 30 hours of study comprising all learning activities. Thus, a four-credit course involves 120 study hours. This helps the student to understand the academic effort one has to put in, in order to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme requires successful clearing of both the assignments and the term end examination of each course in the programme.
3.3 The Print Material Instructional printed material is the mainstay of learning at IGNOU. In concrete terms, the print material comprises books/booklets, which are called “Blocks”, each Block having lessons, which are called “Units”. Each Unit is structured in such a way so as to facilitate self-study. Number of Blocks in a course depends on course-credits. The first page of each block indicates the numbers and titles of the units constituting the block. This is followed by a brief introduction to the block. Each unit begins with mention of unit “Structure”, wherein numbers and titles of each section/subsection comprising the unit are indicated. “Structure” is followed by the first section on “Introduction”, which attempts to forge a link with topics in various sections by briefly outlining what is proposed to be done in the unit, and, in doing so, states the learning “Objectives”, through which student is told of what one expects him/her to attain when he/she has completed the unit. Section on “Introduction” is followed by other Sections covering various topics under the unit. In the Section “Summary”, coming towards the end, the unit then summarises what has been said in the whole unit to enable the student to recall the main points. Important words/terms are explained under the section “Key Words” to facilitate comprehension. The structure of a unit, thus, will be as given below :

Answers to SAQs
SAQs
The section, “Some Useful Books” or “Further Reading” is meant to suggest some books for additional reading. While some of the suggested books for reading will be available at the study center library, some may not be. Therefore, you are suggested to make efforts to get access to other Institution/Engineering College libraries located in and around your place of work and/or place of stay. These books may also be available with your employer’s library. In each unit, generally after each section, there are Self-check Exercises under the caption “SelfAssessment Questions (SAQs)”. Space is given for you to write your answers to the questions set in these self-assessment questions (SAQs). Each unit invariably ends with answers to the questions set in these SAQs. While reading the units mark the words/phrases that you do not fully understand. Look these up under the section Key Words/Glossary or in a dictionary. If there are certain ideas or concepts you do not understand, look these up in an earlier unit(s) first, they may be explained there. Read the unit a second or third time till you have understood the point. However, if you still do not understand something, consult your counselor at the Study Centre for clarification. Proper comprehension of the units and the points/notes made by you while reading through the units would help you in answering the Self-Assessment Questions given in the units. You may have to go through some pages of the unit again to find answer to these exercises. Once you have written the answer in the blank space provided in each unit for the purpose, you can compare your answers with the answers given under the section “Solutions/Answers to SAQs”, You must overcome the temptation of having a furtive look at the answers given at the end of the unit before attempting the questions.
3.4 Audio-Video Material In addition to the print material, each course may have audio and video lessons. The audio-video material is supplementary to print material, though in situation it may be integral to print material, in the sense, some of the Periodic Assignment questions for the course/course-topic, may also be based on A-V material. Hence, we advise you to make use of A-V material, as that will help you to understand the subject better. Video lessons are transmitted by Doordarshan on national network on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6.30 AM to 7.00 AM in the morning. Transmission schedule of Programme related to your courses can be obtained from Study Centres.

3.6 Programme Delivery The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional universities. The open university system is more learner-oriented, as the student is an active participant in the teaching and learning process .Programme is delivered in a face-to-face mode. The university follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises : (i)
Written Material : The written material for both theory and practical components of the programme is supplied to the students in batches of blocks for every course (on an average of 4 blocks per course). A block which comes in the form of a booklet comprises 3 to 5 units. If necessary, students will be advised to procure standard text books.
(ii)
Audio-Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes which have been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material given to the student. A video programme is normally
12
of 25-30 minutes duration. The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the study centers during the hours of the counselling session. (iii) Counselling Sessions : Normally counselling sessions are held as per a schedule drawn before hand by the Coordinator. They are held on week-ends, that is to say, Saturday and Sunday of the week. There will be a minimum of 10 counselling sessions of 2 hours duration for each course (20 hours for each course on an average) of the programme devoted to theoretical aspects. Counselling schedules will be displayed at your respective study centre. (iv)
Teleconferencing and EDUSAT Lecturers : Some of the lecturers will be telecast through teleconferences and some will be telecast through interactive EDUSAT lecture sessions.
B Tech(Aerospace Engg) being full time course in face to face mode, Study centers will decide for programme delivery
3.7 Counselling The Study Centre will organize counselling sessions for all courses of study. Here, students can take help from the counsellors in their study. The Counselling sessions are not meant to be classroom lectures. You must study the material and try to assimilate it. If, however, you still have problems, you must consult your counsellor for clarification. When applicable, the counsellor will also organize sessions where you can listen to/view audio-video programmes, though exact dates of Counselling Sessions will be announced by the Study Centres concerned. It is suggested to attend all the contact sessions at your Study Centre as these contact sessions are important to understand self progress. This also gives an opportunity to meet your classmates and to discuss the topics you are reading. Smaller problems can be overcome by group discussions. So, be regular to your Study Centres. The University welcomes participation in its Engineering Programmes by Universities, technological institutions, engineering colleges, R & D institutions, industries and their training establishments, agencies of employer groups and centres of professional bodies by offering specialized coursespecific educational inputs, such as : (a)
access to academia and practicing professionals as tutors/counsellors,
(b)
laboratory/workshop use,
(c)
access to library, technical documents and training software of institutions/industries for educational use,
(d)
access to computer facility,
(e)
access to site equipments, site testing facility and actual work situations for work-related learning components,
(f)
in case of need, access to additional counselling space and seminar room, etc.
The University will seek collaborative help and support of other institutions/industries/organizations in its educational endeavour at the locations of the Study Centres.
3.8 Study Centres To provide effective student spport, IGNOU has set up a number of Study Centres and Regional Centres all over the country (See Appendix–I and II). As of today, the University has more than 1000 Study Centres throughout the country. The programmes in Engineering and Technology are offered at 30 Study Centres. You will be allotted one of these study centres taking into consideration your place of residence or work. However, each study centre can handle only a limited number of students and despite our best efforts, it may not always be possible to allot the study centre of your choice.
13
The January course will be conducted at IIAEIT, Pune - 23. Each Study Centre will have: •
A Coordinator, who will coordinate different activities at the centre.
•
An Assistant Coordinator and other supporting staff.
•
Counsellors in different subjects to provide counselling and guidance to you in the subjects you have chosen.
A Study Centre will have following six major functions : (i) Tutorial/Counselling : Tutorial/Counselling is an important aspect of the Open University system. Face-to-face contact-cum-counselling for the Courses will be provided at the Study Centres. Generally, there are 10 counselling sessions for the 4-credits courses and 5 sessions for the 2-credit courses; and each counselling session will be of 2 hours duration. The detailed programme of the contact-cum-counselling sessions will be sent to you by the Coordinator of your Study Centre. In these sessions you will get an opportunity to discuss your problems pertaining to the courses of your study with the Counsellors. (ii) Evaluation of Assignments : The evaluation of your assignments (TMA) will be done by the Counsellors at the Study Centre. The evaluated assignments will be returned to you by the Counsellors. (iii) Library : Every Study Centre will have a library having relevant course materials, some reference books suggested for supplementary reading as well as audio-video materials prepared for the course(s). In this context, it is submitted that engineering subjects always will have large reference needs and all these references may not be available at the study centre library. Therefore, students are recommended to explore the possibilities of getting access to other institution/engineering colleges libraries in and around their place of work and/or stay. Further, your employer’s library may also have some of the reference books. (iv)
Information and Advice : You will be given relevant information about the courses offered by the University. Facilities are also provided to give you guidance in choosing your courses.
(v)
Audio-Video Facilities : The Study Centres will be provided with audio-video equipment to help you. Make use (where applicable) of the audio and video cassettes prepared for different courses. Media notes of these audio/video programmes will also be available at the Study Centres. This will help you to know the contents of each programme.
(vi)
Interaction with Fellow-students : In the Study Centres you will have an opportunity to interact with fellow students. This may lead to the formation of self-help groups.
3.9 Individualized Employer Support for a Learner Employee Finally, every student/learner admitted to a programme in engineering is attached to a study center of the University. As the engineering programmes are addressed to learners who are employed, the University recognizes that, more often than not, the employing organization of a learner will not be a study center of the university. However, the said employing organization may be in a position to offer to its learner employee some of the specialized support services like : individualized access to professional(s) of the organization as tutor/counsellor, access to technical library, computer; access to site; etc. Evaluation Scheme for Laboratory Courses Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in terms of grade wise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering programmes given in
14
Section 5. In other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D and E grades. (a) Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components. Component (i) 70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counselors as per the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group. Component (ii) 30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory course/course-topic session after the completion of all guided experiments. (b) Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided experiments. (c) The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses. (d) The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith an overall marks of 50%. (e) A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course topic will not be considered for evaluation. Finally, following is a conceptual schematic of educational organization aggregating all the student support services discussed in last few sub-sections, for imparting engineering education through distance mode. In the face to face mode full time programme of B.Tech (Aerospace Engineering) the tutorial , assignments & lab work would be continuing process and the study are to decide in this regard in consultation with project coordinator (IGNOU-AERO) A Conceptual Schematic of Educational Organisation for Learning Engineering & Technology through Distance Mode 3.11

PROGRAMME IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
4.1 Approach to Programme Development In Engineering and Technology areas, the University has planned to develop employment related continuing education programmes aiming at increased job potential and economic advantage for the learner. The programmes are to be at tertiary level. The Learner Group In the first instance, the programmes are to target at learners who are technical diploma holders of a polytechnic and are employed. Thus, against above minimum qualifications, the learners will represent : (a)
Existing work-force,
(b)
First entrants to the work-place,
(c)
Those desirous of second chance of learning, i.e., elderly (aged) working population,
15
(d)
Those in need of training for technology upgrading, and
(e)
Those with potential for emerging employment areas.
Participation by Employer Groups and Industry In concrete terms, the University proposes to identify specific areas in Engineering and Technology for programme development in consultation with employing agencies at central and state levels including Governmental, Public and Private Sector organizations and Professional Bodies, so as to reflect in the curriculum design, the functional education and training needs of the targeted learner group at the workplace. Subsequently, the University visualizes that these and such other industrial organizations and professional Bodies and their professionals and experts will participate with the University in the tasks of preparation of instructional material for such functional curriculum as also in its implementation, thereby making the programme preparation and implementation endeavour a participative outcome between the University and industry.

EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR DIPLOMA/ DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The salient features of the proposed evaluation system of Diploma Programmes are as follows : (i)
The students will be awarded marks in continuous assessment and term end components as given below : (a)
(b)
(ii)
Laboratory Courses Guided Component
70%
Unguided Component
30%
Theory Courses Continuous Assessment
30%
Term End Examination
70%
Thus, a student will receive marks for Continuous Evaluation part (Periodic Assignment) and for Term End Examination part for each theory course. To clear a course, a student will have to clear both the segments of the course. Similarly, for laboratory course, one has to clear separately the guided and unguided components. Following table gives minimum percentage of marks required for the clearance of the course :
20
Evaluation Component’s part for the Course Continuous Evaluation Term-end Examination Guided Component Unguided Component Overall Performance
% of marks for clearance ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 50%
(iii) To facilitate statement of overall performance at any point of time during the programme or at the end of the programme, the calculation of overall percentage will be based on the weighted average system and the precision will be up to the one point after the decimal. Calculations will be carried out using the following scheme :
C1P1 + C2P2 + C3P3 + . . .
Overall Percentage =
C1 + C2 + C3 + . . . where C1, C2 … denote credits associated with courses taken by the student and P1, P2 … denote the percentage of marks awarded in respective courses. (iv)
(v)
The divisions will be decided as follows : 1.
Second division will be at 50% and up to less than 60%.
2.
First division will be at 60% and up to less than 75%
3.
Distinction with First division will be at 75% and above.
If needed, the grades for each subject can be awarded on the basis of percentage marks obtained as given below : •
A Grade for 80% and above,
•
B Grade for 70% and above,
•
C Grade for 60% and above,
•
D Grade for 50% and above, and
•
E Grade for less than 50%.
7.1 Assignments Assignments – constitute the continuous evaluation components of a course/course-topic. Continuous Evaluation for a course/course-topic carries 30% weightage, while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. The marks that you get in your Continuous Evaluation Components will be counted in your final result. Therefore, you are advised to take your Continuous Evaluation Components seriously. More specifically, you have to attempt the assignments compulsorily. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for a course if you do not submit all assignments in time for that course. The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive from us and also to help you get through the courses by providing feedback to you. The information given in the printed course material should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading material for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them. But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course material and made use of your personal experience.
21
Whenever you receive a set of assignments, check them immediately and ask for missing pages, if any, from the Coordinator of your Study Center (Proforma III) The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should ensure that you have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you poor grades. You must submit your assignment according to the schedule indicated in the assignment itself. The University Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments received after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date. For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignment within a month after submission, please try to get it from your study center personally. This may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University in case any problem arises. Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Coordinator of the Study Centre, so that the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration and Evaluation Division at the Headquarters. Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, along with the assignment. Send you doubts in a separate cover to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. When doing so give your complete Enrolment No., Name, Address, Title of the Course/Course-topic and the Number of the Unit or the Assignment, etc. on top of your letter. B Tech(Aerospace Engg) being full time course in face to face mode, all assignments are to be submitted at the Study Centre Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) (i)
Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date of submission on the top right corner of the first page of your response sheet.
(ii)
Write the Programme Title, Course-topic Code, Course-topic Title, Assignment Code and Name of Your Study Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet. Course-topic Code and Assignment Code may be reproduced from the Assignment. The top of the first page of your response sheet for each assignment should be like this : ENROLMENT NO. _______________ PROGRAMME TITLE :_________________ COURSE CODE : ______________________ COURSE TITLE : ______________________ ______________________________________ ASSIGNEMNT CODE : _________________ STUDY CENTRE : _____________________
NAME : _________________________ ADDRESS : ______________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ SIGNATURE : ____________________ DATE : __________________________
(iii) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the assignments itself. (iv)
Go through the units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question, rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. While answering an essay type question, give adequate attention to introduction
22
and conclusion. The introduction must offer your brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to develop it. The conclusion must summarize your response to your question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer, write down the final version neatly and underlining the points you wish to emphasize. While solving numerical, user proper units and give working notes wherever necessary. (v)
Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This may facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments on the margins at appropriate places.
(vi)
Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not reproduce your answers from the units sent to you by the University. If you reproduce from units, you will get poor marks for the respective question.
(vii) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of such students will be rejected. (viii) Write each assignment separately. All answer in the assignments should be written in continuity. (ix)
Write the respective question number with each answer.
(x)
The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the study center allotted to you. Under no circumstances you should send the tutor marked response sheets to the Evaluation Division at Headquarters for evaluation.
(xi)
After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre, get the acknowledgement from the Coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
(xii) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor Marked Assignments only to the Original Study Centre until the change of study center is agreed to and effected by the University.
7.2 Evaluation for Laboratory Courses (a)
Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in terms of grade wise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering programmes. In other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D and E grades.
(b)
The method for evaluation is as given below : Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components. Component (i)
70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counsellors as per the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group.
Component (ii)
30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory course/course topic session after the completion of all guided experiments.
(c)
Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided experiments.
(d)
The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses.
23
(e)
The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in the laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith an overall marks of 50%.
(f)
A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course topic will not be considered for evaluation.
7.3 Term-end-Examination As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the evaluation system. Term End Examination carries 70% weightage in the final result. The University conducts term-end examinations twice a year, i.e. in June and December. You can take the examination after the completion of the course. In the first year you can take the examination in December, failing which you can take the same in June and December, of subsequent years within the total span of the programme. Similarly, in the case of second year courses you can take the examinations in December, failing which you can appear in June or December of subsequent years. Same pattern will apply to third year courses, where applicable. In case you fail to score 45% marks in the Term End Examination part of a course-topic, you will be eligible to reappear at the next Term End Examination for that course-topic as and when it is held, within the total span of the programme. To be eligible to appear in the term-end examination in any course/course-topic in a given year, you are required to fulfill the following four conditions : (i)
You should have registered in that course/course-topic in the given year.
(ii)
You should have paid the registration fees for the course/course-topic in that year.
(iii) You should have completed the submission of assignments for the respective course/course-topic. (iv)
You should have submitted the examination form in time (which is explained later).
Examination date-sheets (schedule which indicates the date and time of examination for each course) are sent to all the study centers approximately 5 months in advance. The same is also notified through IGNOU News Letter from time to time. Thus, normally, the date-sheet for June examinations are sent in the months of January and December examinations in the month of July. You are advised to see whether there is any clash in the examinations dates of the courses/course-topics, you wish to take, i.e. examination of any two courses/course-topic you wish to take are scheduled on the same day at the same time. If there is any clash, you are advised to choose one of them in that examination and the other course in the next examination, i.e. December or June as the case may be. It is an essential prerequisite for you to submit the Examination Form for taking examination in any course. Copies of the examination forms are available at Study Centres/Regional Centres/SRE&D at Headquarters. A copy is also enclosed here at Proforma-V in this booklet. You can take photocopy of this form and use it. Only one form is to be submitted for all the course/course-topic in one term-end examination. The students would be required to pay examination fee of Rs 200/- per theory & practical paper to IGNOU through respective study centers. . Properly filled-in examination form is to be submitted to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation), Indira Gandhi National Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. The last date for submission of examination forms is 31st March for the examinations to be held in June and 30th September for examinations to be held in December. However, examination forms may also be submitted within 20 days of last date, i.e. 20th April and 20th October for June and December examinations respectively with a late fee of Rs. 100 payable with the form. Examinations forms received at the Headquarters after the last date with late fee shall be rejected.
After receiving the examination form, the University will send intimation slip to you before the commencement of examinations. If you do not receive the intimation slip 15 days before the commencement of examinations, you must contact your Study Centre or Regional Centre or Student
24
Registration and Evaluation Division at the Headquarters. If your name is registered for examinations in the list sent to the Study Centre, even if you have not received intimation slips or misplaced the intimation slip, you can take the examination by showing your Identity Card (Student Card) to the Examination Centre Superintendent. Your Study Centre is normally your examination centre. A change of examination centre is permissible in exceptional cases and for this you have to make a request to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation) atleast one month before the commencement of examinations. Your enrolment number is your Roll Number for examinations. Be careful in writing it. Any mistake in writing the Roll Number will result in non-declaration of your result. It is your duty to check whether you are registered for that course and eligible to appear for the examination or not. If you neglect this and take the examination without being eligible for it, your result will be cancelled. Study centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot send communications to all the students individually. All the important communications are sent to the Coordinators of the Study Centres and Regional Director. The Coordinators would display a copy of such important circular/notification on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all the students. You are, therefore, advised to get in touch with your Coordinator for day-to-day happenings so as to get advance information about assignments, submission of examination forms, date-sheet, list of students admitted to a particular examination, declaration of result, etc. While communicating with the University regarding examination, please clearly write your enrolment number and complete address. In the absence of such details, we may not be able to attend to your problems.
8.
AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
8.1 Gold Medal The University awards gold medals and certificates to the passing out topper students in each year of the programmes, who have secured the highest aggregate in their programme in the minimum time duration and have cleared all the courses in one attempt.
9.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, UNIVERSITY RULES AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
9.1 IGNOU News Letters The University publishes news letter three times a year in English as well as in Hindi. It is mailed to each student free of cost. All the important information relevant to the students is published in this news letter.
9.2 Reservation The University provides reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Wards of Para Military Forces and Physically Handicapped students as per the Government of India Rules.
9.3 Scholarships and Reimbursement of Fees Reserved Categories, viz. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Physically Handicapped students have to pay the fee at the time of admission to the University alongwith other students. Physically Handicapped students admitted to IGNOU are eligible for Government of India scholarships. They are advised to collect blank scholarship forms from the respective State Government Directorate of Social Welfare or Office of the Social Welfare Officer and submit the
25
filled-in forms back to them through the Regional Director concerned for reimbursement of programme fee. Similarly, SC/ST students have to submit their scholarship forms to the respective State Directorate of Social Welfare, or Office of the Social Welfare Officer, through the Regional Director for reimbursement of programme fee.
9.4 Change of Elective/Programme Medium Change of Elective/Programme/Medium is not permitted in Engineering Programmes.
9.5 Change of Address and Study Centre/Region IGNOU takes special efforts to ensure adequate support services for students of Engineering and Technology programmes. This is done by exploring collaborative specialized educational inputs from Engineering College, Industry, R & D Centres, Centres of Professional Bodies, etc. at the location of the Study Centre. This understandably calls for imaginative networking of local support facilities at the study centre, with an extra need to make maximum use of facilities generated. In view of the above, a student from a Region, once admitted to programme and attached to a study centre would, through his study years, normally not be allowed to a change a Study Centre or the Region. The student is therefore strongly advised to keep this operational aspect/constraint in mind while he chooses a Region and Study Centre for admission. However, if after admission and during programme study years there is a very unforeseen and critical reason, then the University may consider, such request for change of study centre or Region, on payment of charges as per University rules, if and only if, firstly, the programme and courses for which the student is admitted are also available in the Region and at the study centre for change, secondly, if the student satisfies the minimum admission requirements for the programme at the new study centre and, thirdly, if the study centre proposed has a vacancy in the programme. Change/Correction of Address and Study Centre There is a printed card for change/correction of address and change of Study Centre, that will be dispatched alongwith the study material. In case, there is any correction/change in the address of a change of Study Centre, the students are directed to make use of the printed card addressed to the Regional Director of the concerned Regional Centre. Counselling facilities are not available for all Programmes at all the Centres. As such, students are advised to make sure that counselling facilities are available, for the subject he/she has chosen, at the new center opted for. Request for change of Study Centre are normally granted subject to availability of seats for the programme at the new centre asked for. Change of Address and Study Centre is not permitted until admissions are finalized.
9.6 Validity of Admission Lists Candidates who are offered admission have to join on or before the due dates specified by the University. In case they want to seek admission for the next session, they have to apply afresh and go through the admission process again.
9.7 Incomplete and Late Applications Incomplete and late applications forms/Re-registration forms, wrong options of courses or electives, furnishing false information will be summarily rejected without any intimation to the candidates. The candidates are, therefore, advised to fill the relevant columns carefully and enclose all the attested copies of the necessary certificates asked for, and submit the form to the Regional Director concerned on or before the due date. In this regard no correspondence will be entertained.
9.8 Registration 9.8.1
The requirement of registration for the course under the engineering programme is an yearly one. In other words, a student has to register for courses every year. This registration can be the First Registration (FR), which a student has to do for courses he is taking for the first
26
time, or it can be Re-Registration (RR), which the student has to do for courses he is pursuing second or more times for any reason. No student, who is not formally registered, either under first registration or re-registration, for the courses during an year can avail for himself the student support services and offer himself to complete the course requirements by appearing for examinations during that year. 9.8.2 In a given year a student can register for maximum of 32 credits. 9.8.3 While registering for in any given year, the first responsibilities of the student will always be to register under re-registration for course/course-topic from previous year(s) not cleared for any reason. 9.8.4 Like First Registration, Re-registration for each course/course-topic will be accompanied by payment of Re-registration fees as per University rules. 9.8.5 However, a student can “withdraw” from course(s)/course-topic(s) or “completely withdraw” from all course, registered in an year. No fees will be refunded in that event. Further, such student will have to re-register in courses from which he has thus withdrawn in the next available year. Fees once paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.
9.9 Simultaneous Registration A student is permitted to register for only one programme in a given academic session. In other words “Simultaneous Registration” is not permitted. Violation of this rule results in cancellation of admission to the programme and forfeiture of the programme fees paid.
9.10 Credit Transfer and Exemption Programme of the University have defined programme structures. If at the time of admission itself, a student comes having completed some of the courses (from the programme structure) from a recognized/accredited university of the country, then, on a case by case basis, the student will be given credit for those courses as per the modalities detailed below : Definitions (i) “Credit transfer” means allowing a student of another university to get admitted to IGNOU for completing any equivalent degree/diploma programme on the basis of credits obtained by him/her from that University. A student thus admitted need not write IGNOU examinations for such courses which are found equivalent to and for which appropriate credits would be deemed to have been acquired for and purposes of fulfilling the IGNOU requirements for award of a degree/diploma. (ii) “Exemption” means “exemption from course work/studies only”, i.e. if a student is allowed “exemption” in a particular courses, he/she is not required to take the course (those courses) as other students do but he/she will have to sit for the examinations in that course/those courses and clear it/them successfully. Eligibility The credit transfer scheme is applicable only to those candidates who have not completed their degree from any other recognized university yet willing to complete through IGNOU as per rules provided. Modalities (i) Normally credit transfer or exemption will be applicable only from a diploma to an equivalent post graduate degree. (ii) Credit transfer will be permissible only in the case of students coming from institutions established by an Act of Parliament or by an Act of State Legislature; or an institution “deemed to be university”, or an “institution of national importance”, or institutions recognized by statutory bodies like AICTE, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR, etc. (iii) Credit transfer can be done only on the basis of individual courses and not on the basis of year-to-year courses as in conventional institutions.
27
(iv)
In order to get a diploma/degree from IGNOU a student will be required to earn at least 50% credits from IGNOU. For example, a B. Tech. Student should earn at least 64 credits out of 128 credits from IGNOU for an IGNOU’s degree.
(v)
The degree certificate or the marks list thus given to the students will specifically indicate the credits earned in IGNOU and those obtained from other institution.
(vi)
Students exempted from studying the courses may take the examination for the exempted courses during any of the two Term-end-Examinations.
Rules and Regulations (i) Students who want to avail credit transfer shall get registered with IGNOU for the programme they want to study.

THE UNIVERSITY
1.1 Introduction Indira Gandhi National Open University was established in September, 1985 by an Act of Parliament, with a view to democratise education so that it covers large segments of population, vocations and professions. The primary emphasis is on innovation, flexibility and cost effectiveness. Thus, it is university with a difference. The major objectives of the University are : • Democratizing higher education by taking it to the doorstep of the learners, • Providing access to high quality education to all those who seek it irrespective of age, region or formal qualifications, • Offering need-based academic programmes at affordable cost in emerging engineering, professional and vocational areas, and • Promoting and developing distance education and maintaining standards in distance education in the country. The salient features of this system of education are : • Study according to your own pace and convenience, • Study at your own chosen place, • Flexibility in choosing courses and combination of courses for a wide range of discipline/subjects, • Use of modern and appropriate educational and communication technology, • Use of internet mediated technologies in distance education, • Providing education through dedicated tv channel, gyan darshan, • Providing education through educational fm radio, gyan vani, and • Developing learning Anytime Anywhere Programmes (LAAP) initiatives. Student support services are provided by the University through a network of Study Cenres scattered all over the country. Study Centres are the actual focal points to enable you to receive regular information and learning support. Each Study Centre provides you with library, audio and video facilities to further help you in the learning process. Senior and experienced academics are engaged in face-to-face counselling at Study Centres. The Study Centres are generally located in existing educational institutions and normally function on all holidays and Sundays and also in the evenings on working days. Each Study Centre is supervised by a Coordinator. Regional Centres have been set up in different parts of the country to coordinate the functioning of the Study Centres.
1.2 The Schools of Studies With a view to develop interdisciplinary studies, the University operates through Schools of Studies. Each School is headed by a Director who arranges to plan, supervise, develop and organize its academic programmes and courses in coordination with the School staff and the different academic, administrative service wings of the University. The emphasis is on providing a wide choice of courses at different levels. The School of Studies in operation currently are as follows : • School of Computer and Information Sciences. • School of Continuing Education. • School of Education. • School of Engineering and Technology • School of Health Sciences

3.1
Course Preparation
The University prepares the self-instructional print material and audio-video programmes in participation with academia and R & D and practicing personnel. In particular, print materials for Engineering and Technology courses are being specially prepared by the in-house faculty of the University in assistance with course preparation project teams drawn from IITs, Engineering Colleges, Universities, R & D institutions. Industries and Professional bodies from all over the country. In the process, these materials are scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instructional unit designers and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before they are sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video programmes are produced in consultation with the course-writers, other technical experts, in-house faculty and producers and wherever feasible in assistance with other universities, R & D institutions and industries. These programmes are reviewed by the faculty as well as outside media experts and edited or modified suitably, wherever necessary, before they are dispatched to the study centers and Doordarshan for broadcast.
3.2 Credit System The University follows the “Credit System” for its programmes. Each credit in IGNOU system amounts to 30 hours of study comprising all learning activities. Thus, a four-credit course involves 120 study hours. This helps the student to understand the academic effort one has to put in, in order to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme requires successful clearing of both the assignments and the term end examination of each course in the programme.
3.3 The Print Material Instructional printed material is the mainstay of learning at IGNOU. In concrete terms, the print material comprises books/booklets, which are called “Blocks”, each Block having lessons, which are called “Units”. Each Unit is structured in such a way so as to facilitate self-study. Number of Blocks in a course depends on course-credits. The first page of each block indicates the numbers and titles of the units constituting the block. This is followed by a brief introduction to the block. Each unit begins with mention of unit “Structure”, wherein numbers and titles of each section/subsection comprising the unit are indicated. “Structure” is followed by the first section on “Introduction”, which attempts to forge a link with topics in various sections by briefly outlining what is proposed to be done in the unit, and, in doing so, states the learning “Objectives”, through which student is told of what one expects him/her to attain when he/she has completed the unit. Section on “Introduction” is followed by other Sections covering various topics under the unit. In the Section “Summary”, coming towards the end, the unit then summarises what has been said in the whole unit to enable the student to recall the main points. Important words/terms are explained under the section “Key Words” to facilitate comprehension. The structure of a unit, thus, will be as given below :

Answers to SAQs
SAQs
The section, “Some Useful Books” or “Further Reading” is meant to suggest some books for additional reading. While some of the suggested books for reading will be available at the study center library, some may not be. Therefore, you are suggested to make efforts to get access to other Institution/Engineering College libraries located in and around your place of work and/or place of stay. These books may also be available with your employer’s library. In each unit, generally after each section, there are Self-check Exercises under the caption “SelfAssessment Questions (SAQs)”. Space is given for you to write your answers to the questions set in these self-assessment questions (SAQs). Each unit invariably ends with answers to the questions set in these SAQs. While reading the units mark the words/phrases that you do not fully understand. Look these up under the section Key Words/Glossary or in a dictionary. If there are certain ideas or concepts you do not understand, look these up in an earlier unit(s) first, they may be explained there. Read the unit a second or third time till you have understood the point. However, if you still do not understand something, consult your counselor at the Study Centre for clarification. Proper comprehension of the units and the points/notes made by you while reading through the units would help you in answering the Self-Assessment Questions given in the units. You may have to go through some pages of the unit again to find answer to these exercises. Once you have written the answer in the blank space provided in each unit for the purpose, you can compare your answers with the answers given under the section “Solutions/Answers to SAQs”, You must overcome the temptation of having a furtive look at the answers given at the end of the unit before attempting the questions.
3.4 Audio-Video Material In addition to the print material, each course may have audio and video lessons. The audio-video material is supplementary to print material, though in situation it may be integral to print material, in the sense, some of the Periodic Assignment questions for the course/course-topic, may also be based on A-V material. Hence, we advise you to make use of A-V material, as that will help you to understand the subject better. Video lessons are transmitted by Doordarshan on national network on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6.30 AM to 7.00 AM in the morning. Transmission schedule of Programme related to your courses can be obtained from Study Centres.

The university follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises : (i)
Written Material : The written material for both theory and practical components of the programme is supplied to the students in batches of blocks for every course (on an average of 4 blocks per course). A block which comes in the form of a booklet comprises 3 to 5 units. If necessary, students will be advised to procure standard text books.
(ii)
Audio-Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes which have been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material given to the student. A video programme is normally
12
of 25-30 minutes duration. The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the study centers during the hours of the counselling session. (iii) Counselling Sessions : Normally counselling sessions are held as per a schedule drawn before hand by the Coordinator. They are held on week-ends, that is to say, Saturday and Sunday of the week. There will be a minimum of 10 counselling sessions of 2 hours duration for each course (20 hours for each course on an average) of the programme devoted to theoretical aspects. Counselling schedules will be displayed at your respective study centre. (iv)
Teleconferencing and EDUSAT Lecturers : Some of the lecturers will be telecast through teleconferences and some will be telecast through interactive EDUSAT lecture sessions.
B Tech(Aerospace Engg) being full time course in face to face mode, Study centers will decide for programme delivery
3.7 Counselling The Study Centre will organize counselling sessions for all courses of study. Here, students can take help from the counsellors in their study. The Counselling sessions are not meant to be classroom lectures. You must study the material and try to assimilate it. If, however, you still have problems, you must consult your counsellor for clarification. When applicable, the counsellor will also organize sessions where you can listen to/view audio-video programmes, though exact dates of Counselling Sessions will be announced by the Study Centres concerned. It is suggested to attend all the contact sessions at your Study Centre as these contact sessions are important to understand self progress. This also gives an opportunity to meet your classmates and to discuss the topics you are reading. Smaller problems can be overcome by group discussions. So, be regular to your Study Centres. The University welcomes participation in its Engineering Programmes by Universities, technological institutions, engineering colleges, R & D institutions, industries and their training establishments, agencies of employer groups and centres of professional bodies by offering specialized coursespecific educational inputs, such as : (a)
access to academia and practicing professionals as tutors/counsellors,

Media notes of these audio/video programmes will also be available at the Study Centres. This will help you to know the contents of each programme.
(vi)
Interaction with Fellow-students : In the Study Centres you will have an opportunity to interact with fellow students. This may lead to the formation of self-help groups.
3.9 Individualized Employer Support for a Learner Employee Finally, every student/learner admitted to a programme in engineering is attached to a study center of the University. As the engineering programmes are addressed to learners who are employed, the University recognizes that, more often than not, the employing organization of a learner will not be a study center of the university. However, the said employing organization may be in a position to offer to its learner employee some of the specialized support services like : individualized access to professional(s) of the organization as tutor/counsellor, access to technical library, computer; access to site; etc. Evaluation Scheme for Laboratory Courses Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in terms of grade wise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering programmes given in
14
Section 5. In other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D and E grades. (a) Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components. Component (i) 70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counselors as per the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group. Component (ii) 30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory course/course-topic session after the completion of all guided experiments. (b) Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided experiments. (c) The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses. (d) The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith an overall marks of 50%. (e) A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course topic will not be considered for evaluation. Finally, following is a conceptual schematic of educational organization aggregating all the student support services discussed in last few sub-sections, for imparting engineering education through distance mode. In the face to face mode full time programme of B.Tech (Aerospace Engineering) the tutorial , assignments & lab work would be continuing process and the study are to decide in this regard in consultation with project coordinator (IGNOU-AERO) A Conceptual Schematic of Educational Organisation for Learning Engineering & Technology through Distance Mode 3.11

EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR DIPLOMA/ DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The salient features of the proposed evaluation system of Diploma Programmes are as follows : (i)
The students will be awarded marks in continuous assessment and term end components as given below : (a)
(b)
(ii)
Laboratory Courses Guided Component
70%
Unguided Component
30%
Theory Courses Continuous Assessment
30%
Term End Examination
70%
Thus, a student will receive marks for Continuous Evaluation part (Periodic Assignment) and for Term End Examination part for each theory course. To clear a course, a student will have to clear both the segments of the course. Similarly, for laboratory course, one has to clear separately the guided and unguided components. Following table gives minimum percentage of marks required for the clearance of the course :
20
Evaluation Component’s part for the Course Continuous Evaluation Term-end Examination Guided Component Unguided Component Overall Performance
% of marks for clearance ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 45% ≥ 50%
(iii) To facilitate statement of overall performance at any point of time during the programme or at the end of the programme, the calculation of overall percentage will be based on the weighted average system and the precision will be up to the one point after the decimal. Calculations will be carried out using the following scheme :
C1P1 + C2P2 + C3P3 + . . .
Overall Percentage =
C1 + C2 + C3 + . . . where C1, C2 … denote credits associated with courses taken by the student and P1, P2 … denote the percentage of marks awarded in respective courses. (iv)
(v)
The divisions will be decided as follows : 1.
Second division will be at 50% and up to less than 60%.
2.
First division will be at 60% and up to less than 75%
3.
Distinction with First division will be at 75% and above.
If needed, the grades for each subject can be awarded on the basis of percentage marks obtained as given below : •
A Grade for 80% and above,
•
B Grade for 70% and above,
•
C Grade for 60% and above,
•
D Grade for 50% and above, and
•
E Grade for less than 50%.
7.1 Assignments Assignments – constitute the continuous evaluation components of a course/course-topic. Continuous Evaluation for a course/course-topic carries 30% weightage, while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. The marks that you get in your Continuous Evaluation Components will be counted in your final result. Therefore, you are advised to take your Continuous Evaluation Components seriously. More specifically, you have to attempt the assignments compulsorily. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for a course if you do not submit all assignments in time for that course. The main purpose of assignments is to test your comprehension of the learning material you receive from us and also to help you get through the courses by providing feedback to you. The information given in the printed course material should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading material for working on the assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them. But the assignments are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course material and made use of your personal experience.
21
Whenever you receive a set of assignments, check them immediately and ask for missing pages, if any, from the Coordinator of your Study Center (Proforma III) The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should ensure that you have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you poor grades. You must submit your assignment according to the schedule indicated in the assignment itself. The University Coordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments received after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date. For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the Coordinator of your Study Centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignment within a month after submission, please try to get it from your study center personally. This may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your case to the University in case any problem arises. Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The discrepancy noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Coordinator of the Study Centre, so that the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Registration and Evaluation Division at the Headquarters. Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, along with the assignment. Send you doubts in a separate cover to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. When doing so give your complete Enrolment No., Name, Address, Title of the Course/Course-topic and the Number of the Unit or the Assignment, etc. on top of your letter. B Tech(Aerospace Engg) being full time course in face to face mode, all assignments are to be submitted at the Study Centre Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) (i)
Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date of submission on the top right corner of the first page of your response sheet.
(ii)
Write the Programme Title, Course-topic Code, Course-topic Title, Assignment Code and Name of Your Study Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet. Course-topic Code and Assignment Code may be reproduced from the Assignment. The top of the first page of your response sheet for each assignment should be like this : ENROLMENT NO. _______________ PROGRAMME TITLE :_________________ COURSE CODE : ______________________ COURSE TITLE : ______________________ ______________________________________ ASSIGNEMNT CODE : _________________ STUDY CENTRE : _____________________
NAME : _________________________ ADDRESS : ______________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ SIGNATURE : ____________________ DATE : __________________________
(iii) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any, given on the assignments itself. (iv)
Go through the units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question, rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. While answering an essay type question, give adequate attention to introduction
22
and conclusion. The introduction must offer your brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to develop it. The conclusion must summarize your response to your question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your answer, write down the final version neatly and underlining the points you wish to emphasize. While solving numerical, user proper units and give working notes wherever necessary. (v)
Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This may facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments on the margins at appropriate places.
(vi)
Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not reproduce your answers from the units sent to you by the University. If you reproduce from units, you will get poor marks for the respective question.
(vii) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of such students will be rejected. (viii) Write each assignment separately. All answer in the assignments should be written in continuity. (ix)
Write the respective question number with each answer.
(x)
The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the study center allotted to you. Under no circumstances you should send the tutor marked response sheets to the Evaluation Division at Headquarters for evaluation.
(xi)
After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre, get the acknowledgement from the Coordinator on the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
(xii) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor Marked Assignments only to the Original Study Centre until the change of study center is agreed to and effected by the University.
7.2 Evaluation for Laboratory Courses (a)
Laboratory courses is same as other course/course topic in Engineering and Technology in terms of grade wise evaluation already approved by Academic Council for engineering programmes. In other words, for lab course/course topic, a student will be awarded A, B, C, D and E grades.
(b)
The method for evaluation is as given below : Evaluation of Laboratory Courses will be done in two components. Component (i)
70% marks will be allotted for a set of guided experiments to be carried out by students. These experiments would be marked by the Study Centre/Programme Specific Study Centre/Work Centre counsellors as per the marking scheme prepared by the discipline group.
Component (ii)
30% marks will be allotted for a set of (one or more) assigned unguided experiments to be carried out by the students at the end of the laboratory course/course topic session after the completion of all guided experiments.
(c)
Counsellors and/or external examiners will be there for evaluation of assigned unguided experiments.
(d)
The requirement of assignments will be deleted in case of laboratory courses.
23
(e)
The total marks awarded in a laboratory course topic will be by adding marks obtained in two components mentioned above in accordance with the weightage attached. For success in the laboratory course/course topic, one has to score atleast 45% marks in each component alongwith an overall marks of 50%.
(f)
A student with less than 75% of attendance in the residential term of laboratory course/course topic will not be considered for evaluation.
7.3 Term-end-Examination As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the evaluation system. Term End Examination carries 70% weightage in the final result. The University conducts term-end examinations twice a year, i.e. in June and December. You can take the examination after the completion of the course. In the first year you can take the examination in December, failing which you can take the same in June and December, of subsequent years within the total span of the programme. Similarly, in the case of second year courses you can take the examinations in December, failing which you can appear in June or December of subsequent years. Same pattern will apply to third year courses, where applicable. In case you fail to score 45% marks in the Term End Examination part of a course-topic, you will be eligible to reappear at the next Term End Examination for that course-topic as and when it is held, within the total span of the programme. To be eligible to appear in the term-end examination in any course/course-topic in a given year, you are required to fulfill the following four conditions : (i)
You should have registered in that course/course-topic in the given year.
(ii)
You should have paid the registration fees for the course/course-topic in that year.
(iii) You should have completed the submission of assignments for the respective course/course-topic. (iv)
You should have submitted the examination form in time (which is explained later).
Examination date-sheets (schedule which indicates the date and time of examination for each course) are sent to all the study centers approximately 5 months in advance. The same is also notified through IGNOU News Letter from time to time. Thus, normally, the date-sheet for June examinations are sent in the months of January and December examinations in the month of July. You are advised to see whether there is any clash in the examinations dates of the courses/course-topics, you wish to take, i.e. examination of any two courses/course-topic you wish to take are scheduled on the same day at the same time. If there is any clash, you are advised to choose one of them in that examination and the other course in the next examination, i.e. December or June as the case may be. It is an essential prerequisite for you to submit the Examination Form for taking examination in any course. Copies of the examination forms are available at Study Centres/Regional Centres/SRE&D at Headquarters. A copy is also enclosed here at Proforma-V in this booklet. You can take photocopy of this form and use it. Only one form is to be submitted for all the course/course-topic in one term-end examination. The students would be required to pay examination fee of Rs 200/- per theory & practical paper to IGNOU through respective study centers. . Properly filled-in examination form is to be submitted to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation), Indira Gandhi National Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. The last date for submission of examination forms is 31st March for the examinations to be held in June and 30th September for examinations to be held in December. However, examination forms may also be submitted within 20 days of last date, i.e. 20th April and 20th October for June and December examinations respectively with a late fee of Rs. 100 payable with the form. Examinations forms received at the Headquarters after the last date with late fee shall be rejected.
After receiving the examination form, the University will send intimation slip to you before the commencement of examinations. If you do not receive the intimation slip 15 days before the commencement of examinations, you must contact your Study Centre or Regional Centre or Student
24
Registration and Evaluation Division at the Headquarters. If your name is registered for examinations in the list sent to the Study Centre, even if you have not received intimation slips or misplaced the intimation slip, you can take the examination by showing your Identity Card (Student Card) to the Examination Centre Superintendent. Your Study Centre is normally your examination centre. A change of examination centre is permissible in exceptional cases and for this you have to make a request to the Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation) atleast one month before the commencement of examinations. Your enrolment number is your Roll Number for examinations. Be careful in writing it. Any mistake in writing the Roll Number will result in non-declaration of your result. It is your duty to check whether you are registered for that course and eligible to appear for the examination or not. If you neglect this and take the examination without being eligible for it, your result will be cancelled. Study centre is the contact point for you. The University cannot send communications to all the students individually. All the important communications are sent to the Coordinators of the Study Centres and Regional Director. The Coordinators would display a copy of such important circular/notification on the notice board of the Study Centre for the benefit of all the students. You are, therefore, advised to get in touch with your Coordinator for day-to-day happenings so as to get advance information about assignments, submission of examination forms, date-sheet, list of students admitted to a particular examination, declaration of result, etc. While communicating with the University regarding examination, please clearly write your enrolment number and complete address. In the absence of such details, we may not be able to attend to your problems.

AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
8.1 Gold Medal The University awards gold medals and certificates to the passing out topper students in each year of the programmes, who have secured the highest aggregate in their programme in the minimum time duration and have cleared all the courses in one attempt.
9.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES, UNIVERSITY RULES AND OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION
9.1 IGNOU News Letters The University publishes news letter three times a year in English as well as in Hindi. It is mailed to each student free of cost. All the important information relevant to the students is published in this news letter.
9.2 Reservation The University provides reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Wards of Para Military Forces and Physically Handicapped students as per the Government of India Rules.
9.3 Scholarships and Reimbursement of Fees Reserved Categories, viz. Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Physically Handicapped students have to pay the fee at the time of admission to the University alongwith other students. Physically Handicapped students admitted to IGNOU are eligible for Government of India scholarships. They are advised to collect blank scholarship forms from the respective State Government Directorate of Social Welfare or Office of the Social Welfare Officer and submit the
25
filled-in forms back to them through the Regional Director concerned for reimbursement of programme fee. Similarly, SC/ST students have to submit their scholarship forms to the respective State Directorate of Social Welfare, or Office of the Social Welfare Officer, through the Regional Director for reimbursement of programme fee.
9.4 Change of Elective/Programme Medium Change of Elective/Programme/Medium is not permitted in Engineering Programmes.
9.5 Change of Address and Study Centre/Region IGNOU takes special efforts to ensure adequate support services for students of Engineering and Technology programmes. This is done by exploring collaborative specialized educational inputs from Engineering College, Industry, R & D Centres, Centres of Professional Bodies, etc. at the location of the Study Centre. This understandably calls for imaginative networking of local support facilities at the study centre, with an extra need to make maximum use of facilities generated. In view of the above, a student from a Region, once admitted to programme and attached to a study centre would, through his study years, normally not be allowed to a change a Study Centre or the Region. The student is therefore strongly advised to keep this operational aspect/constraint in mind while he chooses a Region and Study Centre for admission. However, if after admission and during programme study years there is a very unforeseen and critical reason, then the University may consider, such request for change of study centre or Region, on payment of charges as per University rules, if and only if, firstly, the programme and courses for which the student is admitted are also available in the Region and at the study centre for change, secondly, if the student satisfies the minimum admission requirements for the programme at the new study centre and, thirdly, if the study centre proposed has a vacancy in the programme. Change/Correction of Address and Study Centre There is a printed card for change/correction of address and change of Study Centre, that will be dispatched alongwith the study material. In case, there is any correction/change in the address of a change of Study Centre, the students are directed to make use of the printed card addressed to the Regional Director of the concerned Regional Centre. Counselling facilities are not available for all Programmes at all the Centres. As such, students are advised to make sure that counselling facilities are available, for the subject he/she has chosen, at the new center opted for. Request for change of Study Centre are normally granted subject to availability of seats for the programme at the new centre asked for. Change of Address and Study Centre is not permitted until admissions are finalized.
9.6 Validity of Admission Lists Candidates who are offered admission have to join on or before the due dates specified by the University. In case they want to seek admission for the next session, they have to apply afresh and go through the admission process again.
9.7 Incomplete and Late Applications Incomplete and late applications forms/Re-registration forms, wrong options of courses or electives, furnishing false information will be summarily rejected without any intimation to the candidates. The candidates are, therefore, advised to fill the relevant columns carefully and enclose all the attested copies of the necessary certificates asked for, and submit the form to the Regional Director concerned on or before the due date. In this regard no correspondence will be entertained.
9.8 Registration 9.8.1
The requirement of registration for the course under the engineering programme is an yearly one. In other words, a student has to register for courses every year. This registration can be the First Registration (FR), which a student has to do for courses he is taking for the first
26
time, or it can be Re-Registration (RR), which the student has to do for courses he is pursuing second or more times for any reason. No student, who is not formally registered, either under first registration or re-registration, for the courses during an year can avail for himself the student support services and offer himself to complete the course requirements by appearing for examinations during that year. 9.8.2 In a given year a student can register for maximum of 32 credits. 9.8.3 While registering for in any given year, the first responsibilities of the student will always be to register under re-registration for course/course-topic from previous year(s) not cleared for any reason. 9.8.4 Like First Registration, Re-registration for each course/course-topic will be accompanied by payment of Re-registration fees as per University rules. 9.8.5 However, a student can “withdraw” from course(s)/course-topic(s) or “completely withdraw” from all course, registered in an year. No fees will be refunded in that event. Further, such student will have to re-register in courses from which he has thus withdrawn in the next available year. Fees once paid will not be refunded under any circumstances.
9.9 Simultaneous Registration A student is permitted to register for only one programme in a given academic session. In other words “Simultaneous Registration” is not permitted. Violation of this rule results in cancellation of admission to the programme and forfeiture of the programme fees paid.
9.10 Credit Transfer and Exemption Programme of the University have defined programme structures. If at the time of admission itself, a student comes having completed some of the courses (from the programme structure) from a recognized/accredited university of the country, then, on a case by case basis, the student will be given credit for those courses as per the modalities detailed below : Definitions (i) “Credit transfer” means allowing a student of another university to get admitted to IGNOU for completing any equivalent degree/diploma programme on the basis of credits obtained by him/her from that University. A student thus admitted need not write IGNOU examinations for such courses which are found equivalent to and for which appropriate credits would be deemed to have been acquired for and purposes of fulfilling the IGNOU requirements for award of a degree/diploma. (ii) “Exemption” means “exemption from course work/studies only”, i.e. if a student is allowed “exemption” in a particular courses, he/she is not required to take the course (those courses) as other students do but he/she will have to sit for the examinations in that course/those courses and clear it/them successfully. Eligibility The credit transfer scheme is applicable only to those candidates who have not completed their degree from any other recognized university yet willing to complete through IGNOU as per rules provided. Modalities (i) Normally credit transfer or exemption will be applicable only from a diploma to an equivalent post graduate degree. (ii) Credit transfer will be permissible only in the case of students coming from institutions established by an Act of Parliament or by an Act of State Legislature; or an institution “deemed to be university”, or an “institution of national importance”, or institutions recognized by statutory bodies like AICTE, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR, etc. (iii) Credit transfer can be done only on the basis of individual courses and not on the basis of year-to-year courses as in conventional institutions.
27
(iv)
In order to get a diploma/degree from IGNOU a student will be required to earn at least 50% credits from IGNOU. For example, a B. Tech. Student should earn at least 64 credits out of 128 credits from IGNOU for an IGNOU’s degree.
(v)
The degree certificate or the marks list thus given to the students will specifically indicate the credits earned in IGNOU and those obtained from other institution.
(vi)
Students exempted from studying the courses may take the examination for the exempted courses during any of the two Term-end-Examinations.
Rules and Regulations (i) Students who want to avail credit transfer shall get registered with IGNOU for the programme they want to study. All the applications for this purpose should invariably be addressed to Dy. Registrar (Student Registration and Evaluation Division), IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068. (ii) The students have the choice to opt the electives of second year in the first year and third year in second year of their studies. (iii) The students by opting the courses in such a way to complete the balance credits can reduce the period of study prescribed for the completion of the degree programme and thereby avail no payment of fees to the period not covered. The student availing credit transfer would be allowed to complete the programme early provided they do not offer more than 32 credits in a year. (iv)
IGNOU “programme” and “courses” are “subjects” or “papers” respectively of conventional universities.
(v)
Students seeking exemption and allowed permission to take their examinations may be supplied with study material/Audio-Video material from the university on payment, if they so wish.
(vi)
Students seeking exemption should apply directly to the Dy. Registrar (SRE&D), Block 12, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi – 110 068, enclosing a Demand Draft for Rs. 50/- per course drawn in the name of IGNOU and payable at New Delhi, attested copies of Marks Sheet and attested copies of syllabus of such courses, covered by them. Such cases will be examined separately by the Equivalence Committee at the Headquarters of the University. This process will take a minimum period of three months from the date of receipt of such requests with all the relevant documents by the above concerned officer.
Disputes on Admission and Other University Matters The place of jurisdiction for filing of a Suit if necessary will be only at New Delhi/Delhi.. Students / Guardians will also be bound by other terms and conditions of IGNOU issued from time to time
