Course Outcomes

To assess the students, three internal tests are

conducted in each theory subject generally at
the end of 6th, 10th& 14th week from the
commencement of the semester. Each test is
for 25 marks. The tests are answered in the
blue books specifically printed by the college.
The answer booklets are evaluated within one
week of the test and marks scored are
announced on notice board.

Two assignments are given to the students to

answer in the specifically printed assignment
books and submit for evaluation. The
evaluated assignments are returned back to the
students with comments for improvising, if any.
At the end of a semester the university conducts a
common examination in the subjects for all
affiliated colleges for 100 marks. Question paper
will be sent by the university and the students are
required to answer the same. Answer booklets are
evaluated by the evaluators appointed by the
university. Results are declared including the IA
marks scored at the college level by the
individuals.
Students will be able to get general knowledge
about mechanical subjects, like energy resources,
power development, etc.

Students will be able to identify, formulate, and

solve engineering problems in on multidisciplinary
teams.
