Structure of the Question Paper

For the end semester examination, the question paper consists of three questions from each module,
out of which two are to be answered by the students.
Industrial Relevance of the Course
There is a serious shortage of industrial data communications and industrial IT engineers,
technologists and technicians in the world. Only recently these new technologies have become a key
component of modern plants, factories and offices. Businesses throughout the world comment on the
difficulty in finding experienced industrial data communications and industrial IT experts, despite
paying outstanding salaries. The interface from the traditional SCADA system to the web and SQL
databases has also created a new need for expertise in these areas. Specialists in these areas are few
and far between. The aim of this course is to provide students with core skills in working with
industrial data Communications and industrial IT systems and to take advantage of the growing need
by industry.
