 INSIGNIA

The Emblem of the University is a Philosophical statement in Symbolic.

The Emblem…

A close look at the emblem unveils a pillar, a symbol of the “University

of Excellence” built on strong values & principles.

The Palm and the Seven Stars…

The Palm is the palm of the teacher- the hand that acts, promises &
guides the students to reach for the Seven Stars…

The Seven Stars signify the ‘Saptarishi Dnyanamandal”, the Great

Bear-a constellation made of Seven Stars in the sky, each signifying a
particular Domain. Our culture says: The true objective of human birth
is to master these Knowledge Domains.

The Seven Stars also represent the Saptarishis, the founders of KLE
Society whose selfless service and intense desire for “Dnyana Dasoha”
laid the foundation for creating the knowledge called KLE Society.

Hence another significance of the raised palm is our tribute to these

great Souls for making this University a possibility.

Empowering Professionals…
‘Empowering Professionals’, inscription at the base of the Emblem
conveys that our Organization with its strength, maturity and wisdom
forever strive to empower the student community to become globally
competent professionals. It has been a guiding force for many student
generations in the past, and will continue to inspire many forthcoming
generations.

hypothesis, review of literature, getting acquainted with recent advances, designing
of a research study, collection of data, critical analysis, and comparison of results,
drawing conclusions and evaluation of research project.
Every candidate shall submit the synopsis to the to the university in the
prescribed proforma, a synopsis containing particulars of proposed dissertation
work within 6 months from the date of commencement of the course on or before
the dates notified by the university. The synopsis shall be sent through the proper
channel.
Synopsis will be reviewed by the external evaluator and the university will
register the dissertation topic. No change in the dissertation topic or guide shall be
made without prior approval of the university.
The dissertation should be written under the following headings.

head of the institution shall certify the dissertation.
24. SUBMISSION OF DISSERTATION
Four hard copies & a soft copy of the dissertation duly certified by the guide,
Head of the dept and principal shall be submitted to the Controller of examination
KLE University through the Head of the department three months before final
examination.
The examiners appointed by the university shall value the dissertation.
Approval of dissertation work is an essential precondition for a candidate to appear
in the university examination. The dissertation shall be valued by the evaluator
(examiners) apart from the guide out of which one is external outside the university
and one internal from the same university. Any one-evaluator acceptance other
than the guide will be considered as a precondition for eligibility to take up the
examination.

Criteria for recognition of MPT teacher / guide

1. MPT with five years teaching experience working on a full time position at a
recognized institution.

2. The age of guide / teacher shall not exceed 65 years.

3. The guide student ratio should be 1: 3.

4. Relaxation for the criteria one and two mentioned above will be considered
in view of acute shortage of teachers, the persons having three years post
MPT teaching experience working on a full time basis may be considered as
P.G. teacher. Similarly persons with maximum age of 66 years may be
considered for being guide and examiner in cases of acute shortage of
examiners until further amendments by the University in this regard.

Change of Guide

For change of guide in extra ordinary situations, a suitable guide will be

provided from within the concerned department or HOD of the department will
be given the responsibility. In absence of both, the registered PG may be allotted
under the senior most professor or Head of the institute with prior permission from
the university.

26. ASSESSMENT

The final assessment of the student in this course will be by written, oral and
practical examination at the completion of the every year. However, the student
should submit the research dissertation prior to appearing for the 2 nd year university
examination. Student’s dissertation should be accepted by the examiners prior to
appearing for the 2 nd year examination.

All journal, seminar and case presentations have to be compulsorily evaluated

and every PG must obtain 60% marks in at least one presentation of each segment
prior to filling up of the exam form.

27
27. CRITERIA FOR PASSING

Minimum of 50% of total marks in theory aggregate and minimum of 50% of

total marks in clinical and Viva-Voce aggregate will be required for declaring a
candidate pass.

examination in 1 st attempt.

Pass – 50% of maximum marks in theory aggregate and 50% of maximum

marks in clinical and Viva-Voce aggregate.
