E3. UNIT TESTS/QUIZZES: One Unit Tests based on descriptive type theoretical & numerical questions and one
Quiz based on objective type questions will be held. One unit test at least ten days before the Mid Term
Examination and one quiz at least ten days before the End Term Examination. Those who do not appear in
Unit test and quiz examinations shall lose their marks.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS a week before the start of Mid Term and End
Term Examinations respectively.

E4. ASSIGNMENTS: After completion of each unit or in the mid of the unit, there will be home assignments based
on theory and numerical problems. Those who fail to submit the assignments by the due date shall lose their
marks.

E5. GENERAL DISCIPLINE & ATTENDENCE: Main focus shall be that students attend the classes regularly.
Manual attendance in class shall be taken in the class, however, attendance recording for calculation purpose
shall be taken as has been captured in CORTAS only. Based on student’s regularity, punctuality, sincerity and
behavior in the class, marks shall be given.

E6. Group discussion: Two group discussion shall be held 15 days prior sto mid & final examination covering the
topics covered in the class room to clear students doubts and develop speaking ability.
E7. MID TERM EXAMINATION: WEIGHTAGE – 20%

Mid Term examination shall be Two Hours duration and shall be a combination of Short and Long theory
Questions.
Date of showing Mid Term Examination Answer Sheets: Within a week after completion of mid Semester
examination.

E8. END TERM EXAMINATION: WEIGHTAGE – 50%

End Term Examination shall be Three Hours duration and shall be a combination of Short and Long
theory/numerical Questions.

E9. GRADING:
The overall marks obtained at the end of the semester comprising all the above three mentioned shall be
converted to a grade.

G. SUGGESTED READINGS:
G1. REFERENCE BOOK:

1. Pipeline rules of Thumb Handbook by McAlister.EW

2. Pipeline Operation &Maintenance, A Practical Approach
3. Corrosion and protection Handbook by Schweitzer and Dekker
 4. Peabody Control of Pipeline Corrosion by A.W. Peabody (NACE INTERNATNAL CORROSION

G2. OTHER RESOURCES:

1. Soft copy of reference book 4, shall be collected at the beginning from Faculty.

2. Other related slides and reading material shall be loaded in LMS and students are to read the material for
their knowledge upgradation and answering the assignments, QUITZ, unit tests and Group discussions.

GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic communication
devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such
devices MUST be turned off in the class room.

E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a pass word to access the
LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information – Date of conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online
learning tool. The best way to arrange meetings with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment.
All the assignments preferably should be uploaded on online learning tool. Various research papers/reference
material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning platform time to time.

Attendance: Manual attendance in class shall be taken in the class; however, attendance recording for calculation
purpose shall be taken as has been captured in CORTAS only. Capping of grades & SGPA shall be observed. In case
of individual subject attendance between 50% to 75%, the subject capping shall be B+ (3.33) with SGPA capping as
2.67. No SGPA capping for medical students.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different approaches have been
decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in different ways through direct assessment and
indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-
term examinations. It is suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two
outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the student survey which
needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and it shall be conducted towards the end of
course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done by analyzing the inputs
received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective actions suggested for further improvement.

Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 30%/40% marks of the “highest marks in the class scored by a
student in that subject (in that class/group class)” individually in both the ‘End-Semester examination’ and ‘Total
Marks’ in order to pass in that paper.

 Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class
