1.3 Autonomy and Autonomous Institutions: Autonomy to an academic

institution is like what independence to a nation: it is a hard earned privilege.
The privilege comes with set of responsibilities.
SDMCET was selected by the Government of Karnataka to be a member of the
elite group of World Bank funded TEQIP institutions in 2005. SDMCET gained
academic autonomous status in the year 2007 - 08. In order to “govern” the
institution in this new status and to go beyond, SDMCET has been working
wholeheartedly and has been successful in most of the areas since last two
years. Various processes have been put in place and practices have been
established. One of the prominent areas is the design, development,
implementation of curriculum under autonomy. We have designed frameworks
and established institutional processes to overview the transition to new
systems. Various committees constituted for this purpose have discussed
debated and deliberated areas of their concern and have come out with detailed
policies and procedures. The institution has the responsibility also to implement
the curriculum and to assess the students. This handbook provides a brief but
2
all the important information about the autonomy policies, norms and
procedures of this institution to all our students and other stake holders.

2.2 End Semester Examination (ESE) will be conducted for theory courses only at
the end of the semester after completion of course works. The duration of
examination is 3 hours and maximum marks are 100. Attendance to the ESE
exam is mandatory.
2.3 Question paper pattern:

The question paper pattern for CA and ESE are as follows:
a) PART–A: [Max. Marks: 5 in CA & 20 in ESE]
Questions could be of multiple choices, fill in the blanks, match the
following, True / False and make corrections.
b) PART–B: [Max. Marks: 5 in CA & 20 in ESE]
Analytical and problem oriented questions demanding thorough knowledge
and appreciation of the concepts learnt.
c) PART–C: [Max. Marks: 10 in CA & 60 in ESE]
Standard questions are to be framed on the entire syllabus that can be
evaluated objectively. There could one or two built-in choice questions.
2.4 Valuation methodology: Each answer script of ESE is valued by two faculty
members independently and the better score is considered. If the difference in
the score is greater than 10%, one more valuation of the script will be carried
out by a new examiner and this score is considered as final. Revaluation is not
allowed in view of this fair and careful procedure adopted.
2.5 Grading scheme:

a) Relative grading scheme is adopted in SDMCET as practiced in many
leading autonomous institutions around the world.
6
b) Raw scores obtained by a student will be converted to letter grades using

statistical approach using mean and standard deviation.
c) Arithmetic mean is fixed as D grade and the remaining grades are fixed in
multiples of standard deviation added to the mean.
d) Grade Finalization Committee of the institution studies the grades carefully
and its decision is final.
2.6 Letter grades and grade points:

Letter grades Grade points Remarks
S 10 Outstanding
A 09 Excellent
B 08 Very Good
C 07 Good
D 05 Average
E 04 Poor
F 00 Fail
2.7 Earned Credits: A student passing a course in any of the grade ‘S’, ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’,
‘D’ & ‘E’ earns the credits prescribed for that course.
2.8 Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) indicates performance level (caliber)
of the student at the end of each semester. It is calculated as follows:
Σ (Course Credit × Grade po int)
SGPA =
Σ Course Credit
[This takes into account all the registered courses and grades including F
obtained by a student in that semester]
2.9 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is an indicator of changes in the

performance level of a student with their progress of study [1st to 2nd semester;
2nd to 3rd Semester and so on…]. It is calculated as follows:
Σ (Course Credit × Grade po int)
CGPA =
Σ Course Credit
[Course(s) with F grade are not included in the calculation]
2.10 Mandatory Learning Courses (MLC): VTU stipulates the following as

Mandatory Learning Course:
1) Functional English
7
2) Kannada Kali
3) Constitution of India & Professional Ethics (CIPE)
4) Environmental Studies (ES)
Even though, these courses carry no credits, passing them is COMPULSARY.
An attendance criterion is applicable. Examinations are conducted and getting
grade ‘PP’ (Meaning Pass) is a must to get the degree.
2.11 Promotion Criterion:

The prescribed standards for promotion shall be as follows:
1) Maximum number of ‘F’ grades that can be carried at any point of time is
FOUR only.
2) Minimum CGPA shall be 5.00.
2.12 Ranking/Distinction is decided by CGPA. Best student has the highest CGPA.
2.13 Summer Term Course (STC): This arrangement is primarily to assist weak
and / or failed students to clear their backlogs. STC is offered during summer
vacation. In this format, duration of the course is reduced to 8 weeks but the
number of contact hours per week is doubled. Examination pattern remains the
same. A minimum of TEN registered candidates is necessary to offer the
course. A student can register for a maximum of 12 credits only.
2.14 Important information’s:

1) There will be no re-examination for any course. However, student can
register once again either in a main or summer term course.
2) If a student fails (obtaining grade F) in any course THREE TIMES, he / she
becomes ineligible to continue and will be asked to leave the program.
However, such a student may seek admission to the program at the college
afresh going through the process of selection, all over again.
3) A minimum CGPA of 5.00 is very important to smoothly continue with the
studies at the college. Warning will be given to students performing below this
level. However, a student failing to secure a minimum CGPA of 5.00 on three
consecutive occasions would be asked to discontinue the program and leave
the college.
4) Absenting from classes for long is a serious deterrent. A student who remains
absent from the classes for more than six weeks at a time in a semester
without leave of absence being granted by the competent authorities would be
asked to discontinue the program and leave the college.
5) Students shall conduct themselves within and outside the premises of the
college, in a manner befitting to the students of an institution of national
importance and character. Any deviation to this by students will be dealt
seriously and the decision of the principal of the college is final.
8
6) Students are expected to maintain a good academic record of CGPA greater

than 7.00 so as to be eligible for on-campus placement. A Training &
Placement office at the college has been providing an excellent service since
five years.
3) Transfer of students
3.1 The following procedures are adopted for fixing the grade and grade points of
each course that are completed successfully by the student in the non-
autonomous programs:
a) Courses (in non-autonomous program) equivalent to autonomous courses
shall be identified semester wise.
b) Credits are assigned to the above identified theory and practical courses
successfully completed by the student in the VTU (non-autonomous)
examinations shall be same as in the autonomous courses.
c) Grades shall be awarded for the above identified equivalent courses as per
the following table:
Very
Level Outstanding Excellent Good Average Poor Fail

VTU (non- >= 90 75 to 89 60 to 74 50 to 59 45 to 49 40 to 44 < 40
autonomous)
examination
d) CGPA is calculated in the same way as done for autonomous courses.

e) Promotion criterion will now be same as in autonomous courses.
3.2 Branch Change and Lateral Entry: At the end of the first year, some students
can change their branch provided i) they are top performers with highest CGPA
and ii) a clear vacancy in the change of branch sought exists. Dean (Academic
Program) will notify the details regarding this at the appropriate time. Diploma
passed candidates is allowed to join the degree program at the third semester.
Rules and Regulations for this are as per VTU.

allowed.
7) Stealing class assignments from other students and submitting them as
one’s own.
8) Destroying work of other students.
9) Giving proxy attendance to someone else.
10) Making proxy phone calls on behalf of parents.
11) Producing forged letters as though written by the parents.
12) Producing false certificates for an academic advantage.
III) Sanctions for academic dishonesty:

1) Awarding zero marks for the test under consideration and denying
him/her the permission to take remaining tests.
2) Publicizing the details of the student on the notice board for the act
committed with photograph.
3) Punitive grading like giving a lower or failing grade for the course.
