• Face to face mode
9
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/sub-
section 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 :
UNIT TITLE

1.3.n Subsection 2.n SAQs
1.m Section m
1.m+1 Summary
1.m+2 Key Words/Glossary
1.m+3 Further Readings
1.m+4 Answers to 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 “Self-
Assessment 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 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 course-
specific 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 ,

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.
4.2 Programmes on Offer
IGNOU has planned employment related Engineering Programmes for Technical Diploma holders of
a polytechnic who are employed in Manufacturing Sector. Towards this, in the first instance, the
University has identified the manpower training needs of employment sector and has launched Four
Years B. Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) in which after
completion of the first year courses, the learner will get Diploma in Computer Integrated

7. 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) Laboratory Courses
Guided Component 70%
Unguided Component 30%
(b) Theory Courses
Continuous Assessment 30%
Term End Examination 70%
(ii) 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 % of marks for
for the Course clearance
Continuous Evaluation ≥ 45%
Term-end Examination ≥ 45%
Guided Component ≥ 45%
Unguided Component ≥ 45%
Overall Performance ≥ 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) 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.
(v) 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 :_________________ NAME : _________________________
COURSE CODE : ______________________ ADDRESS : ______________________
COURSE TITLE : ______________________ _________________________________
______________________________________ _________________________________
ASSIGNEMNT CODE : _________________ SIGNATURE : ____________________
STUDY CENTRE : _____________________ 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. 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
