PREFACE
An important issue generally debated amongst the planners and academician’s world over is
how technical education can contribute to sustainable development of the societies struggling
hard to come in the same bracket as that of the developed nations. The rapid industrialization
and globalization have created an environment for free flow of information and technology
through fast and efficient means. This has led to shrinking of the world, bringing people from
different culture and environment together and giving rise to the concept of world turning into
a global village. In India, a shift has taken place from the forgettable years of closed economy
to knowledge based and open economy in the last few decades. In order to cope with the
challenges of handling new technologies, materials and methods, we have to develop human
resources having appropriate professional knowledge, skills and attitude. Technical education
system is one of the significant components of the human resource development and has
grown phenomenally during all these years. Now it is time to consolidate and infuse quality
aspect through developing human resources, in the delivery system. Polytechnics play an
important role in meeting the requirements of trained technical manpower for industries and
field organizations. The initiatives being taken by the State Board of Technical Education, UP
to revise the existing curricula of diploma programmes as per the needs of the industry and
making them NSQF compliant, are laudable.
In order to meet the requirements of future technical manpower, we will have to revamp our
existing technical education system and one of the most important requirements is to develop
outcome-based curricula of diploma programmes. The curricula for diploma programmes
have been revised by adopting time-tested and nationally acclaimed scientific method, laying
emphasis on the identification of learning outcomes of diploma programme.
The real success of the diploma programme depends upon its effective implementation.
However best the curriculum document is designed, if that is not implemented properly, the
output will not be as expected. In addition to acquisition of appropriate physical resources, the
availability of motivated, competent and qualified faculty is essential for effective
implementation of the curricula.
It is expected from the polytechnics to carry out job market research on a continuous basis to
identify the new skill requirements, reduce or remove outdated and redundant courses,
develop innovative methods of course offering and thereby infuse the much needed dynamism
in the system.

3.6 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING OF STUDENTS

It is needless to emphasize further the importance of Industrial Training of students during
their 3 years of studies at Polytechnics. It is industrial training, which provides an opportunity
to students to experience the environment and culture of industrial production units and
commercial activities undertaken in field organizations. It prepares student for their future
role as diploma engineers in the world of work and enables them to integrate theory with
practice. Polytechnics have been arranging industrial training of students of various durations
to meet the above objectives.
This document includes guided and supervised industrial training of 4 weeks duration to be
organised during the semester break starting after second year i.e. after 4 th semester
examinations. The concerned HODs along with other teachers will guide and help students
in arranging appropriate training places relevant to their specific branch. It is suggested that
a training schedule may be drawn for each student before starting of the training in
consultation with the training providers. Students should also be briefed in advance about the
organizational setup, product range, manufacturing process, important machines and materials
used in the training organization.
Equally important with the guidance is supervision of students training in the

industry/organization by the teachers. Students should be encouraged to write daily report in
their diary to enable them to write final report and its presentation later on.
An external assessment of 50 marks has been provided in the study and evaluation scheme of
5th Semester. Evaluation of professional industrial training report through viva-
voce/presentation aims at assessing students understanding of materials, industrial process,
practices in industry/field organization and their ability to engage in activities related to
problem solving in industrial setup as well as understanding of application of knowledge and
skills learnt in real life situations.
Teachers and students are requested to see the footnote below the study and evaluation scheme
of 3rd semester for further details.
The teacher along with field supervisors will conduct performance assessment of students.

4.5 PROJECT WORK
L T P
- - 8
RATIONALE
Major Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply in totality
the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution of particular problem or by
undertaking a project. The individual students have different aptitudes and strengths. Project work,
therefore, should match the strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to
identify the type of project work, they would like to execute. It is also essential that the faculty of the
respective department may have a brainstorming to identify suitable project assignments for their
students. The project assignment can be individual assignment or a group assignment. There should
not be more than 3 students if the project work is given to a group. The students should identify
themselves or accept the given project assignment at least two to three months in advance. The project
work identified in collaboration with industry should be preferred. Each teacher is expected to guide
the project work of 5–6 students.
The project assignments may consist of:
- Programming customer-based applications

- Web page designing (Only dynamic)
- Database applications
- Software Development
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After undergoing this subject, the student will be able to:
 Use effectively oral, written and visual communication

 Demonstrate skill and knowledge of current information and technological tools and
techniques specific to the professional field of study.
 Identify, analyse and solve problems creatively through sustainment critical investigation.
 Develop, leadership abilities..
 Apply fundamental and disciplinary concepts and methods in ways appropriate to their areas
of study.
A suggestive criterion for assessing student performance by the external (personnel from industry)
and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:

The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table
Range of maximum marks Overall grade
i) More than 80 Excellent

ii) 79 <> 65 Very good
iii) 64 <> 50 Good
iv) 49 <> 40 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor
In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which the students
may be given one more chance of undergoing 8 -10 weeks of project oriented professional training
in the same industry and re-evaluated before being disqualified and declared “not eligible to receive
diploma ”. It is also important to note that the students must get more than six “goods” or above
“good” grade in different performance criteria items in order to get “Overall Good” grade.
Important Notes
1. These criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and they should
see the daily, weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks as per the above
criteria.
2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 100 maximum
marks. The internal and external examiners will evaluate students separately and give
marks as per the study and evaluation scheme of examination.
3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who has been
associated with the project-oriented professional training of the students, should
evaluate the students performance as per the above criteria.
4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit
certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific nearby
industries are approached for instituting such awards.

96
The teachers are free to evolve another criterion of assessment, depending upon the type of project
work.
The students must submit a project report of not less than 50 pages (excluding coding). The report
must follow the steps of Software Engineering Concepts
It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work done by the
students and invite leading Industrial organizations in such an exhibition. It is also proposed that two
students or two projects which are rated best be given merit certificate at the time of annual day of
the institute. It would be better if specific industries are approached for instituting such awards.

11. EVALUATION STRATEGY
11.1 INTRODUCTION
Evaluation plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. The major objective of any
teaching-learning endeavour is to ensure the quality of the product which can be accessed
through learner’s evaluation.
The purpose of student evaluation is to determine the extent to which the general and the specific
objectives of curriculum have been achieved. Student evaluation is also important from the point
of view of ascertaining the quality of instructional processes and to get feedback for curriculum
improvement. It helps the teachers in determining the level of appropriateness of teaching
experiences provided to learners to meet their individual and professional needs. Evaluation also
helps in diagnosing learning difficulties of the students. Evaluation is of two types: Formative and
Summative (Internal and External Evaluation)
Formative Evaluation
It is an on-going evaluation process. Its purpose is to provide continuous and comprehensive

feedback to students and teachers concerning teaching-learning process. It provides corrective
steps to be taken to account for curricular as well as co-curricular aspects.
Summative Evaluation
It is carried out at the end of a unit of instruction like topic, subject, semester or year. The main
purpose of summative evaluation is to measure achievement for assigning course grades,
certification of students and ascertaining accountability of instructional process. The student
evaluation has to be done in a comprehensive and systematic manner since any mistake or lacuna
is likely to affect the future of students.
In the present educational scenario in India, where summative evaluation plays an important role
in educational process, there is a need to improve the standard of summative evaluation with a
view to bring validity and reliability in the end-term examination system for achieving objectivity
and efficiency in evaluation.
11.2 STUDENTS’ EVALUATION AREAS
The student evaluation is carried out for the following areas:
- Theory
- Practical Work (Laboratory, Workshop, Field Exercises)
- Project Work
- Professional Industrial Training
A. Theory
Evaluation in theory aims at assessing students’ understanding of concepts, principles

and procedures related to a course/subject, and their ability to apply learnt principles
and solve problems. The formative evaluation for theory subjects may be caused

106
through sessional /class-tests, home-assignments, tutorial-work, seminars, and group
discussions etc. For end-term evaluation of theory, the question paper may comprise
of three sections.
Section-I
It should contain objective type items e.g. multiple choice, matching and completion type.
Total weightage to Section-1 should be of the order of 20 percent of the total marks and no
choice should be given in this section. The objective type items should be used to evaluate
students’ performance in knowledge, comprehension and at the most application domains
only.
Section-II
It should contain short answer/completion items. The weightage to this section should be of
the order of 40 percent of the total marks. Again, no choice should be given in section-II
Section-III
It may contain two to three essay type questions. Total weightage to this section should be of
the order of 40 percent of the total marks. Some built-in, internal choice of about 50 percent
of the questions set, can be given in this section
Table II : Suggested Weightage to be given to different ability levels
Abilities Weightage to be assigned

Knowledge 10-30 percent
Comprehension 40-60 percent
Application 20-30 percent
Higher than application i.e. Analysis, Upto 10 percent
Synthesis and Evaluation
B. Practical Work
Evaluation of students performance in practical work (Laboratory experiments,

Workshop practicals/field exercises) aims at assessing students ability to apply or
practice learnt concepts, principles and procedures, manipulative skills, ability to
observe and record, ability to interpret and draw conclusions and work related
attitudes. Formative and summative evaluation may comprise of weightages to
performance on task, quality of product, general behaviour and it should be followed
by viva-voce.
C. Project
The purpose of evaluation of project work is to assess students ability to apply, in an

integrated manner, learnt knowledge and skills in solving real life problems,
manipulative skills, ability to observe, record, creativity and communication skills.
The formative and summative evaluation may comprise of weightage to nature of
107
project, quality of product, quality of report and quality of presentation followed by
viva-voce.
D. Professional Industrial Training
Evaluation of professional industrial training report and viva-voce/ presentation aims

at assessing students’ understanding of materials, industrial processes, practices in the
industry/field and their ability to engage in activities related to problem-solving in
industrial setting as well as understanding of application of learnt knowledge and skills
in real life situation. The formative and summative evaluation may comprise of
weightages to performance in testing, general behaviour, quality of report and
presentation during viva-voce.
11.3 ASPECTS OF QUESTION PAPER SETTING
Validity and reliability are the most important considerations in the selection and construction
of evaluation procedures. First and foremost are the evaluation tools to measure the specific
outcomes for which they are intended to measure. Next in importance is reliability, and
following that is a host of practical features that can be classified under the heading of
usability.
For weightage of marks assigned to formative (internal) and summative (external) evaluation
and duration of evaluation has been given in the study and evaluation scheme of the
curriculum document. Teachers/Paper-setters/Examiners may use Manual for Students’
Evaluation developed by Institute of Research Development & Training, U.P. Kanpur to bring
objectivity in the evaluation system. The working group found it very difficult to detail out
precisely the contents of subject on languages and therefore teachers may send guidelines to
respective examiners for paper setting to maintain objectivity in evaluation.

108
12. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION
This curriculum document is a Plan of Action (POA) and has been prepared based on exhaustive
exercise of curriculum planning and design. The representative sample comprising selected senior
personnel (lecturers and HODs) from various institutions and experts from industry/field have been
involved in curriculum design process.
The document so prepared is now ready for its implementation. It is the faculty of polytechnics who
have to play a vital role in planning instructional experiences for the courses in four different
environments viz. class-room, laboratory, library and field and execute them in right perspective. It
is emphasized that a proper mix of different teaching methods in all these places of instruction only
can bring the changes in stipulated students behaviour as in the curriculum document. It is important
for the teachers to understand curriculum document holistically and further be aware of intricacies of
teaching-learning process (T-L) for achieving curriculum objectives. Given below are certain
suggestions which may help the teachers in planning and designing learning experiences effectively.
These are indicative in nature and teachers using their creativity can further develop/refine them. The
designers of the programme suggest every course teacher to read them carefully, comprehend and
start using them.
(A) Broad Suggestions:
1. Curriculum implementation takes place at programme, course and class-room level

respectively and synchronization among them is required for its success. The first step
towards achieving synchronization is to read curriculum document holistically and understand
its rationale and philosophy.
2. Uttar Pradesh State Board of Technical Education (BTE U.P.) may make the academic plan
available to all polytechnics well in advance. The Principals have a great role to play in its
dissemination and, percolation upto grass-root level. Polytechnics in turn are supposed to
prepare institutional academic plan by referring state level BTE plan.
3. HOD of every Programme Department along with HODs and in-charges of other departments
are required to prepare academic plan at department level referring institutional academic
plan.
5. All lecturers/Senior lecturers are required to prepare course level and class level lesson plans
referring departmental academic plan.
(B) Course Level Suggestions
Teachers are educational managers at class room level and their success in achieving course
level objectives lies in using course plan and their judicious execution which is very important
for the success of programme by achieving its objectives.
Polytechnic teachers are required to plan various instructional experiences viz. theory lecture,
expert lectures, lab/workshop practicals, guided library exercises, field visits, study tours,
camps etc. In addition, they have to carry out progressive assessment of theory, assignments,
library, practicals and field experiences. Teachers are also required to do all these activities
within a stipulated period of 16 weeks which is made available to them in the academic plan
at BTE level. With the amount of time to their credit, it is essential for them to use it
109
judiciously by planning all above activities properly and ensure execution of the plan
effectively.
Following is the gist of suggestions for subject teachers to carry out T-L process
effectively:
1. Teachers are required to prepare a course plan, taking into account departmental academic
plan, number of weeks available, course to be taught, different learning experiences required
to be developed etc.
2. Teachers are required to prepare lesson plan for every theory class. This plan may comprise
of content to be covered, learning material (transparencies, VCDs, Models etc.) for execution
of a lesson plan. They may follow steps for preparing lesson plan e.g. drawing attention, state
instructional objectives, help in recalling pre-requisite knowledge, deliver planned subject
content, check desired learning outcome and reinforce learning etc.
3. Teachers are required to plan for expert lectures from field/industry. Necessary steps are to
plan in advance, identify field experts, make correspondence to invite them, take necessary
budgetary approval etc.
4. Teachers are required to plan for guided library exercises by identification of course specific
experience requirement, setting time, assessment, etc. The tutorial, assignment and seminar
can be thought of as terminal outcome of library experiences.
5. Concept and content based field visits with appropriate releases (day-block) may be planned
and executed for such content of course which otherwise is abstract in nature and no other
requisite resources are readily available in institute to impart them effectively.
6. There is a dire need for planning practical experiences in right perspective. These slots in a
course are the avenues to use problem based learning/activity learning/ experiential learning
approach effectively. The development of lab instruction sheets for the course is a good
beginning to provide lab experiences effectively.
7. Planning of progressive assessment encompasses periodical assessment in semester,

preparation of proper quality question paper, assessment of answer sheets immediately and
giving constructive explicit feedback to every student. It has to be planned properly;
otherwise very purpose of the same is lost.
8. The co-curricular activities like camp, social gathering, study tour, hobby club etc. may be
used to develop generic skills like task management, problem solving, managing self,
collaborating with others etc.
9. Where ever possible, it is essential to use activity based learning rather than relying on
delivery based conventional teaching all the time.
10. While imparting instructions, emphasis may be laid on the development of cognitive,
psychomotor, reactive and interactive skills in the students.
11. Teachers may take working drawings from the industry/field and provide practices in reading
these drawings.

110
12. Considerable emphasis should be laid in discipline specific contracting and repair and
maintenance of machines, tools and installations.
13. Teachers may take initiative in establishing liaison with industries and field
organizations for imparting field experiences to their students.
14. Case studies and assignments may be given to students for understanding of Enterprise
Resource Management (ERM).
15. Students be made aware about issues related to ecology and environment, safety, concern for
wastage of energy and other resources etc.
16. Students may be given relevant and well thought out minor and major project assignments,
which are purposeful and develop practical skills. This will help students in developing
creativity and confidence for their gainful employment (wage and self).
17. A Project bank may be developed by the concerned department of the polytechnics in
consultation with related Industry, Research Institutes and other relevant field organizations
in the state.
