Academics

Academics

Students are provided with an academically rich, and flexible learning system blended with abundant provision for skill practice that he/she could learn in depth, with room for creativity. Below are some of the best practices inculcated at HITS.

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)

Choice Based Credit system was introduced from 2015 in the curriculum to provide students a balanced approach to their educational endeavour. CBCS is currently applicable to students for all the programmes offered by HITS from 2018–19 onwards. Every student

must compulsorily go through the academic regulations for their respective programmes which is available in the Institution Website.

Salient Features:

Enabling interdisciplinary approach to integrate concepts, theories, techniques, and perspectives from two or more disciplines to advance fundamental understanding or to solve problems for which solutions are beyond the scope of single discipline.

Bridging the gap between professional and liberal education which would greatly improve the employability of students.

Promoting students’ mobility – horizontal as well as vertical.

Collaboration with industry and foreign partners to foster innovations that go a long way in capacity building of students.

Under CBCS, the degree programme will consist of the following categories of courses: 1. General Core Foundation courses (CF)

▪ Humanities courses ▪ Basic Sciences (BS) including Physics,

Chemistry and Mathematics ▪ Engineering Sciences (ES), including Basic

Engineering courses such as Material

Science, Basic Workshop, Engineering

Drawing, Engineering Graphics, Digital

2. Compulsory Courses (CC)

Professional Core (PC) courses introducing students to the foundation of Engineering topics related to the chosen programme of study comprising of theory and Practical/ Field Work/Design Project/Project.

Departmental Elective (DE) courses enabling the students to take up a group of courses of their interest in the area of specialization offered by the parent Department/School.

These are courses offered by Engineering and Non-Engineering departments (across disciplines) other than their parent Department. Two groups of Electives are available under NE namely, Engineering Electives offered by Engineering Departments and Open Electives

4. Indexed Journal/Conference Publications

If a student publishes a paper in indexed Journal / Conference as main author, the same can be considered as equivalent to one two systems, etc.

5. Non-CGPA

Courses offered in certain semesters which are compulsory, but are not used for calculation of GPA and CGPA. However, the credits will be mentioned in the grade sheet.

Non CGPA Courses

The student shall select any two courses/activity from the following Table during the entire period of study. The student has to make his/her own efforts for earning the credits. The grades given will be Pass/Fail (P/F). The respective class teachers have to encourage, monitor and record relevant activities of the students, based on the rules issued from time to time by the Institute and submit the End Semester Report to the Head of the Department. The Non CGPA course credits shall be earned by every student compulsorily for the requirements of the award of degree

The credits will not be calculated for CGPA. However, the courses with Grades will be mentioned in the Grade Sheet.

Outcome Based Education

As a theory, Outcome Based education (OBE) is a student-centred learning model, making each segment of study revolve around a goal. Outcome based methods are practiced in education systems around the world at multiple outcomes in mind is indeed crucial in OBE. Factors like, what knowledge and skill sets are required, at each levels, to reach the planned outcomes of learning are decided upon while framing the syllabus. Hence, students will understand what is expected of them during the course period, and which level of learning is expected to be acquired; also, teachers will know what they need to teach during the course. By the successful completion of the educational experience, each student should have achieved the determined goal. There is no single specified style of teaching or assessment in OBE—instead,

levels. Designing the curriculum keeping the classes, opportunities, and assessments should all help students achieve the specified outcomes. The role of the faculty adapts into instructor, trainer, facilitator, and mentor based on the outcomes targeted.

Project Based Learning

As a student-aimed pedagogy, Project Based Learning (PBL) nurtures learners' knowledge through exploration of real-time challenges and problems. Students, for a specific period of time, get involved in study by working on a project either as an individual or in groups. On contrary with routine classroom learning, PBL, as a practical method of study emphasizes inquiry-based active learning enabling students to explore, analyze and respond to complex

questions and challenges; and also arrive at near possible solutions. The core idea of this is to kindle students' interest and provoke serious thinking while actively engaging them acquire and apply knowledge. As an instructional framework, PBL allows teachers to facilitate and assess deeper understanding and explore practical rather than traditional methods of teaching. Practiced as curriculum, PBL undoubtedly instils confidence and appreciates individual as well as team learning.

Options for Minor Specialization

Students, who are desirous of pursuing their special interest areas other than the chosen branch of study in Engineering/Technology/ Arts/Fashion/Humanities/Management/Basic Sciences, may opt for additional courses in minor specialization groups offered by a department other than their parental department. Such students shall select the stream of courses offered with prerequisites by the respective departments and earn a minor specialization.

Salient Features:

Number of credits to be earned for minor specialization is 12.

Students are permitted to register for their minor specialization courses from their 5th semester onwards subject to a maximum of 6 credits per semester.

List of such additional courses offered by various departments and the schedule will be announced in the beginning of the academic year to facilitate the registration process.

Students have to pay the requisite fee for such additional courses.

Honours Programme

A new academic programme B.Tech. (Hons.) is introduced in order to facilitate the students to choose the specialized courses of their choice and build their competence in a focused area. List of additional courses offered by various departments and the schedule will be announced in the beginning of the academic year to facilitate the registration process. Faculty Advisor of the registered candidate will suggest the additional courses to be taken by the students based on their choice and level of academic competence.

Salient Features:

B.Tech. students in regular stream can opt for B.Tech. (Hons.), provided they have CGPA of 8.0 up to the end of 4th semester without any history of arrears.

Students opting for this programme have to take four additional courses, from Post Graduate level as well, of their specialization of a minimum of 3 credits each between 5th and 8th semesters with not more than 2 additional courses in a semester.

Students who have obtained “E” or “U” or “RC” or “RA” grade (vide clause 16.0) in any course, including the additional credit courses, during the entire duration of the programme are not eligible for B.Tech. (Hons.) degree.

Students have to pay the requisite fee for such additional courses.

MOOC Credit Equivalence

UGC MOOC, a vertical of SWAYAM, is a government initiated programme to bridge the digital divide of the students who have not yet found themselves a part of the digital revolution and hitherto not been able to participate in the knowledge economy. The objective of this effort is to provide the best learning resources to all as the courses offered are those taught from 9th standard to post graduation including various disciplines. A state of the art pedagogy is being implemented to enrich the learning experience using audio-video and multimedia. Seven national coordinators are appointed to ensure best quality content. They are NPTEL for Engineering, UGC for Postgraduation, CEC for Undergraduation, NCERT, NIOS for Schools, IGNOU for after School students and Management studies. Various courses are being offered under NPTEL across all Engineering, Science and Humanities disciplines for the students to choose in line with their interest.
