1. Introduction
1.1 Background
At the undergraduate level, IIT Delhi provides science-based engineering education with a view to produce quality
engineer-scientists. Every B.Tech. student needs to do compulsory foundation courses in the areas of basic
sciences, humanities, social sciences and engineering sciences apart from departmental requirements in his/her
core engineering discipline. Departmental courses (core and electives) constitute about half of the total curriculum.
Further, students do open category electives to develop broad inter-disciplinary knowledge base or to specialize
significantly in an area outside the parent discipline. Many activities are included in the undergraduate curriculum
as non-graded core with a view to enhance the quality of learning. The curriculum provides broad based knowledge
and simultaneously builds a temper for a lifelong process of learning and exploring. At present, IIT Delhi offers 14
B.Tech. programmes and 3 Dual Degree (integrated B.Tech. and M.Tech.) programmes.
IIT Delhi also offers multiple Postgraduate Programmes (M.Sc./M.Tech./M.S.(Research)/M.Des./M.B.A./M.P.P./
Ph.D.) through its Departments, Centres, and Schools. Currently, there are 35 M.Tech., 6 Interdisciplinary M.Tech.,
15 M.S.(R.), 5 M.Sc., 1 M.Des., 3 M.B.A. (including part time), 1 M.P.P. and 31 Ph.D. programmes offered by different
academic units. In addition, there are 2 joint Ph.D. and 1 joint PG Diploma programmes being offered in collaboration
with partner institutions. The Institute has multiple courses at appropriate levels to cater to the academic requirements
of the Postgraduate students. New courses are also being continuously added to the existing pool of PG and
Pre-Ph.D. courses. At the postgraduate level, students are also encouraged to look beyond their area of specialization
to broaden their horizons through open electives and self-learning.
The medium of instruction in the Institute is English.
The Institute follows a semester system. An academic year typically runs from July through June next year and is
essentially comprised of two semesters. Typically, the 1st semester starts in the last week of July and ends in the 1st
week of December; the 2nd semester starts in the 1st week of January and ends in the 2nd week of May. Additionally, the
summer semester which starts in the 3rd week of May and ends in the 2nd week of July, is utilized in some exceptional
cases. Detailed schedule is given in the Semester Schedule that is made available before the start of each semester.
1.2 Departments, Centres and Schools

Each course is offered by an Academic Unit which could be a Department, a Centre or a School. The names of
Departments, Centres and Schools and their two-letter codes are given in Table 1. Some programmes are offered
jointly by multiple academic units and are classified as interdisciplinary programmes; their codes are given in Table 2.

The Honour Code of IIT Delhi is given at the end of this document. Every student signs this Honour Code at the time
of admission and is expected to adhere to the Honour Code throughout the period of his/her studies at the Institute.
2. COURSE STRUCTURE AND credit SYSTEM

2.1 Course Numbering Scheme
Normally every course at IIT Delhi runs for the full length of the semester. Only exception is for V-type courses which
may run for part of the semester. A student registers in advance for courses that he/she wants to study and at the
end of the semester a grade is awarded. On obtaining a pass grade, the student earns all the credits associated
with the course while a fail grade does not get any credit. Partial credits are not awarded.
Each course is denoted by a unique code consisting of three alphabets followed by three numerals:
E L L 1 0 0

(a) Codes for the nature of the course
Table 2: Codes for the nature of courses.
Code Description
D Project based courses (e.g. Major, Minor, Mini Projects)

Lecture courses
L (other than lecture hours, these courses can have Tutorial and Practical hours, e.g. L-T-P
structures 3-0-0, 3-1-2, 3-0-2, 2-0-0, etc.)
N Non-graded core component

Practical/Practice based courses
P (where performance is evaluated primarily on the basis of practice, practical or laboratory
work with LTP structures such as 0-0-3, 0-0-4, 1-0-3, 0-1-3, etc.)
Q Seminar Courses
R Professional Practices
S Independent Study
T Practical Training
V Lecture Courses on Special Topics (1 or 2 credits)
(b) Level of the course

The first digit of the numeric part of the course code indicates the level of the course as determined by pre-requisite
course(s) and/or by the maturity required for registering for the course. The latter requirement is enforced through
a requirement of minimum number of earned credits. In general,
100 – 400 level courses : Core and elective courses for UG programmes.
These courses are not open to any PG student.
500 level courses : Courses for M.Sc. programmes.
These courses are not open to other students.
600 level courses : Preparatory/introductory courses for M.Tech. and advanced courses for M.Sc.
programmes. 500 and 600 level courses are normally not open to UG students.
700 - 800 level courses : Core and elective courses for M.Tech., M.Des., M.B.A., M.S.(Research) and Ph.D.
programmes. Usually 800 level courses are advanced courses for PG students.
2.2 Credit System

Education at the Institute is organized around the semester-based credit system of study. A student is allowed to
attend classes in a course and earn credit for it, only if he/she has registered for that course. Prominent features
of the credit system are a process of continuous evaluation of a student’s performance/progress and flexibility to
allow a student to progress at an optimum pace suited to his/her ability or convenience, subject to fulfilling minimum
requirements for continuation and within the maximum allowable period for completion of a degree.
A student’s performance/progress is measured by the number of credits that he/she has earned, i.e. completed
satisfactorily. Based on the course credits and grades obtained by the student, grade point average is calculated. A
minimum grade point average is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress and continuation in the programme.
Also, a minimum number of earned credits and a minimum grade point average should be acquired in order to qualify
for the degree. All programmes are defined by the total credit requirement and a pattern of credit distribution over
courses of different categories as defined in sections 4 and 5 for UG and PG programmes respectively.
2.3 Assignment of Credits to Courses

Each course has a certain number of credit(s) or non-graded unit(s) assigned to it depending upon its lecture, tutorial
and laboratory/practical contact hours in a week. This weightage is also indicative of the academic expectation that
includes in-class contact and self-study outside class hours.
7
Lectures and Tutorials : One lecture or tutorial hour per week over the period of one 14 week semester is
assigned one credit.
Practical/Practice : One laboratory/practice hour per week over the period of one 14 week semester is
assigned half credit.
A few courses are without credit and are counted under non-graded (NG) courses.
Example : Course COL334 Computer Networks; 4 credits (3-0-2)
The credits indicated for this course are computed as follows:

3 hours/week lectures = 3 credits
0 hours/week tutorial = 0 credit Total = 3 + 0 + 1 = 4 credits
2 hours/week practicals = 2 × 0.5 = 1 credit

Total contact hours for the course = (3 h Lectures + 0 h Tutorial + 2 h Practical) per week
= 5 contact hours per week for 14 weeks.
For each lecture or tutorial credit, the self-study component is 1-2 hours/week (for 100-600 level courses) and 3
hours/week (for 700-800 level courses). The self-study component for practicals is 1 hour for every two hours of
practicals per week. In the above example, the student is expected to devote a minimum of 3 + 1 = 4 hours per
week on self-study in addition to class contact of 5 hours per week.
2.4 Earning Credits

At the end of every semester, a letter grade is awarded in each course for which a student had registered. On
obtaining a pass grade, the student accumulates the course credits as earned credits. An undergraduate student
has the option of auditing some courses within the credit requirements for graduation. Grades obtained in audit
courses are not counted for computing of grade point average. However, a pass grade is essential for earning
credits from an audit course. Section 2.9 defines the letter grades awarded at IIT Delhi and specifies the minimum
grade for passing a course.
2.5 Description of Course Content

Course content description consists of following components: (i) Course Number, (ii) Title of the Course, (iii) Credit
and L-T-P, (iv) Pre-requisites and overlapping courses, if any, and (v) List of broad topics covered in the course.
Content descriptions for all courses are given in section 10 of this document. An example course content description
of a 100 level course is as follows:
MTL100 Calculus
4 Credits (3-1-0)
Review of Limit, Continuity and Differentiability, uniform continuity, Mean Value
Theorems and applications, Taylor’s Theorem, maxima and minima, sequences and
series, limsup, liminf, convergence of sequences and series of real numbers, absolute
and conditional convergence.
Reimann Integral, fundamental theorem of integral calculus, applications of definite
integrals, improper integrals, beta and gamma functions.
Functions of several variables, limit and continuity, partial derivatives and differentiability,
gradient, directional derivatives, chain rule, Taylor’s theorem, maxima and minima and
method of Lagrange Multipliers.

surface integral, Gauss and Stokes theorems with applications.
8
2.6 Pre-requisites
Each course, other than 100 level courses, may have specified pre-requisite(s) which may be other course(s), or
a minimum number of earned credits, or both. A student who has not obtained a pass grade in the pre-requisite(s)
specified or has not earned requisite number of credits will not be eligible to register for that course. For example:
TXL372 Speciality Yarns and Fabrics

2 credits (2-0-0)
Pre-requisites: TXL221 / TXL222 and TXL231 / TXL232 and EC50
A student who has obtained a pass grade in TXL221 or TXL222, and in TXL231 or TXL232 and has also earned
50 credits will be eligible to register for this course.
For UG students the pre-requisites for some courses of special nature are given below.
Independent Study 65 earned credits
Mini Project 65 earned credits
Minor Project (Dual Degree) 100 earned credits
B.Tech. Project Part - I 100 earned credits
B.Tech. Project Part - II Minimum B Grade in B.Tech. Project Part - I
M.Tech. Major Project Part-I (Dual Degree) 135 earned credits
In addition to any pre-requisite specified for 700 and 800 level courses, a UG student needs to earn 75 and 100
credits to register for 700 and 800 level courses, respectively.
2.7 Overlapping/Equivalent Courses

Wherever applicable, overlapping and equivalent courses have been identified for each course. A student is not
permitted to earn credits by registering for more than one course in a set of overlapping/equivalent courses.
Departments/Centres/Schools may use these overlapping/equivalent courses for meeting degree/pre-requisite
requirements in special circumstances. For example:
CLL113 Numerical Methods in Chemical Engineering

4 Credits (3-0-2)
Overlaps with: MTL107, MTP290, MTL445, CVL734, COL726
A student who has earned a pass grade in CLL113 will not be eligible to register for
MTL107, MTP290, MTL445, CVL734 or COL726. An overlapping course cannot serve
as a substitute for a core course of his / her programme. In the above example, if
MTL107 is a core course for a student, he / she is not allowed to register for CLL113
as a substitute for this core course.

Every course is usually coordinated by a member of the teaching staff of a Department/Centre/School in a given
semester. This faculty member is designated as the Course Coordinator. He/she has the full responsibility for
conducting the course, coordinating the work of other members of the faculty and teaching assistants involved
in that course, administering assignments, conducting the tests as well as moderating and awarding the grades.
For any difficulty related to a course, the student is expected to approach the respective course coordinator
for advice and clarification. The distribution of the weightage for tests, quizzes, assignments, laboratory work,
workshop and drawing assignment, term paper, etc. that will be the basis for award of grade in a course will be
decided by the course coordinator of that course, in consultation with other teachers involved, and announced
at the beginning of the semester.
2.9 Grading System

The grade obtained in a course reflects a student’s performance in the course. While relative standing of the
student is indicated by his/her grades, the process of awarding grades is not necessarily based upon fitting the
marks scored by the students to some statistical distribution. The course coordinator and associated faculty for
a course formulate appropriate procedure to award grades that are reflective of the student’s performance vis-
à-vis the expected learning outcomes of the course.

2.9.2 Description of grades

A grade
An ‘A’ grade stands for outstanding achievement. The minimum marks for award of an ‘A’ grade is 80 %. However,
individual course coordinators may set a higher marks requirement for awarding an ‘A’ grade.
C grade
The ‘C’ grade stands for average performance. This is the minimum grade required to pass in the Major Project
Part 1 and Part 2 of Dual degree and 2 year M.Tech. and M.S.(R) Programmes.
D grade
The ‘D’ grade stands for marginal performance; i.e. it is the minimum passing grade in any course excluding the
M.Tech. Major Project. The minimum marks for award of ‘D’ grade is 30 %. However, individual course coordinators
may set a higher marks requirement.
E and F grades
A student who has scored at least 20% aggregate marks in a subject can be awarded an ‘E’ Grade. The Course
Coordinators are, however, free to enhance this limit but should keep the percentage about 10% less than the
cut-off marks for ‘D’ Grade. The Course Coordinators can also specify any additional requirements (to be specified
at the beginning of the Semester) for awarding ‘E’ Grade. Students who obtain an ‘E’ Grade will be eligible to
appear in a repeat major test (re-major test), an examination with weightage same as that of Major test, for only
lecture courses (‘L’ Category Courses described in section 2.1). If they perform satisfactorily, they become eligible
for getting the grade converted to a ‘D’ Grade, otherwise they will continue to have ‘E’ Grade. The student will
have only one chance to appear for re-major for an ‘E’ Grade. The re-major test will be conducted within the first
week of the next semester. The date of re-major test of Institute core courses for undergraduate students will be
10
centrally notified, while for all other courses, the date would be announced by the respective course coordinators.
A student can appear for a maximum of three such re-major tests in a given semester. If a student cannot appear
for the re-major test due to any reason(s), he/she will not get any additional chance.
If a student with ‘E’ grade in a course does not pass the course through a re-major test or obtains an ‘F’ grade in
the course, he/she has to repeat the course if it is a core course. In case the course is an elective, the student
may take the same course again or any other course from the same category. ‘E’ and ‘F’ Grades are not counted
in the calculation of the CGPA; however, these are taken into account in the calculation of the SGPA. (Please see
2.10 for definitions)
I grade
An ‘I’ grade is temporarily awarded to a student on his/her request to denote incomplete performance in L (lecture), P
(practical), V (special module) category courses. Requests for ‘I’ grade should be made at the earliest but not later than
the last day of major tests. An ‘I’ grade is awarded in case of absence on medical grounds or other special circumstances,
before or during the major examination period, provided the student has met the attendance criterion of the course.
Attendance in the course for which ‘I’ grade is being sought will be certified by the course coordinator of the course.
The course coordinators can instruct all students awarded ‘I’ grade as well as ‘E’ grade to appear for a common
re-major test. All evaluation requirements for such students in the corresponding course(s) should be completed
before the end of the first week of the next semester. Upon completion of all course requirements, the ‘I’ grade is
converted to a regular grade (A to F, NP or NF).
NP and NF grades
These grades are awarded in a course that the student opts to audit. Only elective courses can be audited. Auditing
a course is allowed until a date stipulated in the semester schedule. The audit pass (NP) grade is awarded if the
student’s attendance is above 75% in the class and he/she has obtained at least ‘D’ grade. The course coordinator
can specify a higher criterion, at the beginning of the semester, for audit pass. If the stipulated requirements are
not fulfilled, the audit fail (NF) grade is awarded. The grades obtained in an audit course are not considered in the
calculation of SGPA, CGPA or DGPA. However, for undergraduate students, the credits will be counted in total
earned credits in the respective category, subject to the maximum allowable limit for audit.
W grade
A ‘W’ grade is awarded in a course from which the student has opted to withdraw. Withdrawal from a course is
permitted until the date specified in the Semester Schedule. Withdrawal from PG major project part 2 is allowed
only if he/she is given semester withdrawal. The W grade is mentioned on the grade card.
X grade
The ‘X’ grade is awarded for incomplete work in Independent Study, Mini Project, Minor Project, or Major Project
Part 1 and Part 2, based on the request of the student. On completion of the work, ‘X’ grade can be converted to
a regular grade within the first week of the next semester. Otherwise, the student will be awarded ‘X’ grade on a
permanent basis and it will appear in his/her grade card. Further, the student will be required to register for the
course in the next semester. The credits of the course will be counted towards his/her total load for the semester.
In case of Major Project Part 1, the student will not be permitted to register for Major Project Part 2 simultaneously
as Major Project Part 1 is a pre-requisite for Major Project Part 2. A regular full-time student can be awarded ‘X’
grade only once in a course, other than the summer semester. A part-time M.Tech. student is permitted a maximum
of two X-grades in the Major Project part-2.
S and Z grades
The ‘S’ grade denotes satisfactory performance and completion of a course. The ‘Z’ grade is awarded for non-
completion of the course requirements, and if it is a core course, the student will have to register for the course
until he/she obtains the ‘S’ grade. The specific courses in which ‘S’ or ‘Z’ grades are awarded for undergraduate
students are:
(i) Introduction to Engineering and Programme
(ii) Language and Writing skills
(iii) NCC / NSO / NSS
OOo
(iv) Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility

(v) Communication Skills / Seminar
(vi) Design / Practical Experience
Besides, summer/winter internships in some PG programmes are also awarded S/Z.
11
2.10 Evaluation of Performance

The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of three indices, viz., the Semester Grade Point Average
(SGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for a semester, Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the
Grade Point Average for all the completed semesters at any point in time, and Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA).
Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) is calculated on the basis of the best valid credits in each category, after
graduation requirements in all categories are met.
The Earned Credits (E.C.) are defined as the sum of credits for courses in which a student has been awarded pass
grades. Points secured in a semester =Σ (Course credits × Grade point for all courses in which pass grade has
been obtained). The SGPA is calculated on the basis of grades obtained in all courses the student registered for,
in the particular semester, except audit courses.
Points secured in the semester

SGPA =
Credits registered in the semester, excluding audit and S/Z grade courses
The CGPA is calculated on the basis of pass grades obtained in all completed semesters, except audit courses
and courses in which S/Z grade is awarded.
Cumulative points secured in courses with pass grades

CGPA =
Cumulative earned credits, excluding audit and S/Z grade courses
Examples of these calculations are given in Tables 4(a) and 4 (b).

On completing all the degree requirements, the degree grade point average, DGPA, will be calculated and this
value will be indicated on the degree/diploma. The DGPA will be calculated on the basis of category-wise best
valid credits required for graduation.
A student, who has earned the requisite credits but does not meet the graduation DGPA requirement, may do
additional courses in any elective category to meet the DGPA requirement within the maximum permissible time limit.
3. REGISTRATION AND attendance

3.1 Registration
Registration is a very important procedural part of the academic system. The registration procedure ensures that
the student’s name is on the roll list of each course that he/she wants to study. No credit is given if the student
attends a course for which he/she has not registered. Registration for courses to be taken in a particular
semester will be done according to a specified schedule before the end of the previous semester. Each student
is required to complete the registration process on the web-based system. The student must also take steps to
pay his/her dues before the beginning of the semester. Students who do not make payments by a stipulated date
can be de-registered for the particular semester.
13
As students have to report on the date prescribed by office of Dean Academics to mark his/her attendance in person,
before the start of Semester. This is a requirement for validation of registration of existing students.
In-absentia registration or registration after the specified date will be allowed only in rare cases at the discretion
of Dean, Academics. In case of illness or absence during registration, the student should intimate the same to
his/her Programme Coordinator and Dean, Academics.
Brief description of registration related activities is given in the following paragraphs. The relevant dates are
included in the Semester Schedule that is made available before the start of the semester. There may be changes
in the schedule and/or procedure of registration from time to time. The students are intimated through e-mail about
any such change to the e-mail address allocated to each student by the Institute at the time of admission. This
e-mail address is the only channel through which the Institute would communicate with the student. For
cyber security reasons, e-mail accounts/kerberos logins that are not used for a certain length of time are
disabled and such accounts locked/deleted by the Institute. Students must therefore login into their e-mail
accounts/kerberos logins regularly.
3.2 Registration and Student Status

Failure to register before the last date for late registration will imply that the student has discontinued studies and
his/her name will be struck off the rolls.
All registered students, except part-time postgraduate students and casual students, are considered as full-time
students at the Institute. They are expected to be present at the Institute and devote full time to academics and
co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in the campus.
3.3 Advice on Courses

At the time of registration, each student must finalize the academic programme, keeping in view factors such as,
minimum/maximum numbers of total and lecture credits, past performance, backlog of courses, SGPA/CGPA,
pre-requisite(s), work-load and student’s interests, amongst others. Special provisions exist for advising academically
weak students. Details are given in section 4.7.
3.4 Validation of Registration

Before the commencement of classes of each semester, on a date specified in the Semester Schedule, every student
including part-time students, is required to be present on campus and validate his/her registration by logging into
the website. Students who do not do registration validation will not be permitted to add/drop courses.
3.5 Minimum Student Registration in a Course

Undergraduate courses (of 100, 200, 300, or 400 level) and M.Sc. courses (500 or 600 level) will run if a minimum
of 12 students register for the course. Under special circumstances, a departmental elective course may be
allowed to run with minimum registration of 8 students, with prior permission of Chairman, Senate. A 700 or 800
level course can run with a minimum of 4 students. This requirement will be verified on the last date for Add/Drop.
Courses without the minimum enrolment will be dropped. The students who had registered for these courses will
be de-registered, and they will be given one more day for adding a course in lieu of the dropped course.
3.6 Late Registration

For reasons beyond his/her control, if a student is not able to register or send an authorized representative
with a medical certificate, he/she may apply to the Dean, Academics for late registration. Dean, Academics will
consider and may approve late registration in genuine cases on payment of an extra fee called late registration
fee. Late registration is permitted until a date specified in the Semester Schedule, typically one week after the
beginning of the semester.
3.7 Add/Drop, Audit and Withdrawal of Courses

a) Add/Drop: A student has the option to add courses that he/she has not registered for or drop courses for which
he/she has already registered for. This facility is restricted to a period stipulated in the Semester Schedule,
during the first week of the semester, subject to vacancy status of the courses concerned.
b) Audit: A student may apply for changing a credit course to an audit course before a deadline specified in
the Semester Schedule.
14
c) Withdrawal: A student who wants to withdraw from a course should apply before a deadline specified in the
Semester Schedule. A withdrawal grade (W) will be awarded in such cases.
Appropriate web-based applications are to be used for availing of the above-mentioned options.
3.8 Semester Withdrawal

Semester withdrawal and absence for a semester under different conditions, viz. (i) medical and personal
grounds (ii) industrial internship (iii) exchange/deputation to another academic institution in India or abroad, and
(iv) disciplinary condition can be granted on application. The condition as per the following should be clearly
specified in the application.
(a) Semester Withdrawal (SW) reflects the condition, in which a student is forced to withdraw from all courses in
the semester for medical conditions, or for a part-time student when he/she is sent for an outstation assignment
by his/her employer. A student can apply for semester withdrawal if he/she has missed 20 or more teaching
days on these grounds. Under no circumstances will an application for semester withdrawal be accepted
after the commencement of major tests. A student is not permitted to request for semester withdrawal with
retrospective effect.
(b) Semester Leave (SL) indicates the situation in which a student is permitted to take one or more semesters
off for industrial internship or any other assignment with prior approval and planning. The application is to be
routed through his/her advisor/programme coordinator and Head of the concerned Department/Centre/School.
Dean, Academics is the final approving authority for such requests. All such applications must be processed
before the beginning of the semester in which the leave will be taken. At present, JEE-entry B.Tech. and dual
degree students are allowed one extra semester for completion of the programme for every semester leave
for industrial internship. Such students are permitted a maximum of two semesters of leave. The full-time 2
year M.Tech./M.S.(R) students would be permitted a maximum of one semester leave for industrial internship
or other assignment as approved by the Dean. These semesters will not be counted towards the maximum
permitted time period for completion of the degree similar to the provision for JEE entry students.
(c) When a student registers at another academic institution in India or abroad with the expectation of credit
transfer or research work through a pre-approved arrangement including an MoU, the student should be
considered as being on a Semester Exchange (SE). The SE period will be counted towards the total period
permitted for the degree.
(d) When a student is suspended for one or more semesters on disciplinary grounds, the student status should
be called Disciplinary Withdrawal period (DW).
(e) UG student may go for a long Internship or spend a semester on a Technical Start-up with the prior approval
of the DPE Committee of the Department.
3.9 Registration in Special Module Courses

Special module courses, i.e. ‘V’-category courses, are 1 or 2 credit courses that can be offered at the beginning
of the semester and the regular registration procedure will be followed. A ‘V’-category course may also be
offered during the semester. In such a case, students will be allowed to add this course before classes for the
course begin. These courses will usually cover specialized topics that are not generally available in the regular
courses. Eligible students can register for these courses. The course coordinator will evaluate the students’
performance and award a letter grade. The credits so earned will count towards the appropriate category for
degree completion purposes.
3.10 Registration for Non-graded Units

Details pertaining to registration and other modalities of earning non-graded units are given in Section 8 of
this booklet.
3.11 Pre-requisite Requirement(s) for Registration

A student can register for a course only if he/she fulfills the pre-requisite requirement(s). Request for relaxation
of pre-requisite requirement(s) may be raised by students under special circumstances. Such a request needs
approval of the Departmental Faculty Advisor and Chairman Grades and Registration.
3.12 Overlapping/Equivalent Courses

A student is not allowed to earn credits from two overlapping/equivalent courses. Overlapping/equivalent courses,
wherever applicable, are specified in the Description of Course Contents.
15
3.13 Limits on Registration

An undergraduate student (B.Tech. or Dual Degree) should register for a minimum of 12 credits in a semester. The
maximum number of credits permitted for a UG student in a semester is 26, with a provision to register for up to
28 credits in a maximum of two semesters during the entire period of their study. This number would be reduced to
a maximum of 1.25 times the average credits earned by the student in the past two registered semesters, in case
the student is placed on probation on the basis of academic performance.
3.14 Registration and Fee Payment

Every registered student must pay the stipulated fees in full before the specified deadlines. In the event that a
student does not make these payments, he/she can be de-registered from all courses and his/her name can be
struck off from the rolls.
3.15 Continuous Absence and Registration Status

If a student is absent from the Institute for more than four weeks without notifying the Head of Department/Centre/
School or Dean, Academics, his/her registration will be terminated and name will be removed from the Institute rolls.
3.16 Attendance Rule

It is mandatory for the students to attend all classes. Attendance Records of all students for each course will be
maintained.
The Course Coordinator will announce the class policy on attendance with respect to grading etc., at the beginning
of the semester. This shall be done keeping in mind the importance of classroom learning in the teaching-learning
process. Once the class attendance policy has been made clear to all the students registered for the course, the
Course Coordinator will implement the same in totality.
For the purpose of attendance calculation, every scheduled practical class will count as one unit irrespective of
the number of contact hours.
Attendance record will be maintained based upon roll calls (or any equivalent operation) in every scheduled lecture,
tutorial and practical class. Students are required to strictly adhere to and comply with any method or device
employed by the Course Coordinator/Instructor for purpose of Attendance Recording. Failure to do so may call for
disciplinary action. The course coordinator will maintain and consolidate attendance record for the course (lectures,
tutorials and practicals together, as applicable).
A Course Coordinator may choose any one or more of the following as attendance policy.
(a) The Course Coordinator can assign 10% of the total marks to surprise quiz(zes). If attendance of
the student is greater than 90%, result of the best three quizzes will be considered, else average
of all quizzes will be considered.
(b) The Course Coordinator can allocate specific marks for participation in discussions in the class on
a regular basis.
(c) If a student’s attendance is less than 75%, the student will be awarded one grade less than the actual
grade that he/she has earned. For example, a student who has got an A grade but has attendance less
than 75% will be awarded an A (-) grade.
(d) A student cannot get NP for an audit course if his/her attendance is less than 75%.
The Course Coordinator can implement any other attendance policy provided the policy is approved by the Dean,
Academics.
Attendance statistics will also be used in the following way:
(a) If a student’s attendance is less than 75% in more than two courses without any valid reason in a
semester, he/she will be issued warning and put under probation. If this is repeated, he/she will not be
allotted a hostel seat in the next semester.
(b) If a student’s attendance is less than 75% in any course or CGPA is less than 7.0, then he/she will not
be eligible to hold any position of responsibility in the hostel/institute in the next semester.

4. UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS, REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES
4.1 Overall Requirements
4.1.1 B.Tech.
The total credit requirement for the B.Tech. (4-year programme) is 148-158 credits (exact requirement is discipline
specific). The minimum and maximum number of registered semesters for graduation requirements are listed in
Table 7. For B.Tech. programmes, the total credits are distributed over following categories :
(a) Institute Core (IC):
• Basic Sciences (BS): Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology courses
• Engineering Arts and Science (EAS): Fundamental engineering courses
• Humanities and Social Sciences (HUSS): At least two courses to be taken in the 200 level
and at least one course to be taken in the 300 level. Management Courses (MSL 3XX) are not
counted under this category.
(b) Departmental Core (DC): courses of relevant discipline.
(c) Departmental Electives (DE): electives related to the parent discipline.
(d) Programme linked basic sciences/EAS (PL): additional BS/EAS courses that are specified by the department.
(e) Open Category (OC): electives can be taken outside or within the discipline; these credits can be used
towards departmental specialization or minor area also (see Sec 4.6).
(f) Non-graded Core (NG) units: These are core requirements and can be earned through formal academic
activity and informal co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.
4.1.2 Dual degree programmes

The total credit requirements for a dual degree programme would depend upon the credit requirements of the
B.Tech. and M.Tech. programmes that constitute the Dual Degree. The minimum credit requirement for the award
of Dual Degree would typically be 10 less than the total credits of the constituent B.Tech. and M.Tech. programmes.
The B.Tech. requirements for a dual degree are same as that given in Section 4.1.1. The M.Tech. part is divided
into two categories – Programme Core (PC) and Programme Elective (PE). The minimum and maximum number
of registered semesters for graduation requirements are listed in Table 7.

4.2.2 Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) Requirement

A student must obtain a minimum DGPA of 5.0 to be eligible for award of the B.Tech. degree. The minimum DGPA
requirement for M.Tech. part of Dual Degree programme is 6.0. All exceptions to the above conditions will be dealt
with as per following regulations:
17
(a) If a student completes required credits for B.Tech. with DGPA less than 5.0, then the student will be permitted
to do additional elective courses under appropriate category to improve the DGPA within the maximum time
limit for completion of B.Tech. degree. In case a DGPA of 5.0 or more is achieved within the stipulated period,
a B.Tech. degree will be awarded and in case the same is not achieved no degree will be awarded and the
student may apply for a diploma.
(b) If a student completes requisite credits for Dual Degree Programme:
(i) with B. Tech. DGPA less than 5.0 but M.Tech. DGPA more than 6.0
The student will be permitted to do additional elective courses (under appropriate category) to
improve the DGPA for completion of B.Tech. part within the maximum time limit. In case a DGPA of
5.0 or more is achieved for B.Tech., the student will become eligible for award of the Dual Degree
(B.Tech. & M. Tech.) and in case the same is not achieved no degree will be awarded and the student
may apply for a diploma.
(ii) with B.Tech. DGPA more than 5.0 but M.Tech. DGPA less than 6.0
The student may opt to do additional elective courses (PE category only) to improve the DGPA within
the maximum time limit. If no programme elective (PE) courses are available, other relevant 700 and
800 level courses as approved by the department can be done for the purpose of improving the DGPA.
In case DGPA of 6.0 or more is achieved for the M.Tech. part, the student will be eligible for award of
the Dual Degree (B.Tech. & M.Tech.). However, in case the same is not achieved at the end of the
stipulated period, the student will be eligible for the award of only B.Tech. degree, provided a written
request for the same is made to the Dean, Academics.
(iii) with B.Tech. DGPA less than 5.0 and M.Tech. DGPA less than 6.0
The student will be permitted to do additional elective courses under appropriate categories to improve
the DGPA for completion of B.Tech. and courses under PE category for completion of M.Tech. degree
within the maximum time limit. If no programme elective courses are available, relevant 700 and 800
level courses as approved by the department can be done for the purpose of improving the DGPA of
the M.Tech. part. In case a DGPA of 5.0 or more for B.Tech. and 6.0 or more for M.Tech. are achieved,
the student will be eligible for award of the Dual Degree (B.Tech. & M.Tech.). However, in case a DGPA
5.0 or more for B.Tech. is achieved but the DGPA of 6.0 or more for M.Tech. is not achieved at the end
of stipulated period, the student will be eligible for award of only B.Tech. degree provided a written
request for the same is made to the Dean, Academics.
(c) A student may be permitted to do additional elective courses under appropriate elective categories for
improving DGPA, even if he/she satisfies all graduation requirements. The student may be permitted to
register for courses in the additional semesters, up to the maximum limit in terms of registered semesters for
improving his/her DGPA provided a request for the same is made to the Dean, Academics within 15 days of
the notification of grades in the final semester. During this period when the student is registered for improving
DGPA, no hostel facilities or assistantship will be provided to the student.
(d) A student is eligible to apply for a Diploma provided he/she has earned 100 credits and has exhausted the
maximum number of permitted registered semesters for completion of his/her degree. If the student has
completed 50 credits (out of 100 credits) from his/her DC+DE+PC+PE categories then the student will be
awarded ‘Undergraduate Diploma in the respective discipline’ on completion. If the student has not completed
50 credits from these categories but has completed 100 credits then he/she will be awarded ‘Undergraduate
Diploma in Engineering’. The Diploma is not equivalent to an undergraduate degree.
(e) No self-study course will be permitted for the purpose of improvement of DGPA.
4.2.3 Audit Courses

Audit facility is open to all undergraduate students who have 85 Earned Credits. A student will be permitted to do
any number of audit courses over and above the graduation requirements. The audit limits for graduation are:
(a) B.Tech. (4-year) programme: A maximum of 8 credits from the elective courses in any category out of the
total credits required for B.Tech. degree may be completed on audit basis.
(b) Dual-degree programme: A maximum of 8 credits from the elective courses in any category may be completed
on audit basis from the UG part of the programme.
18
(c) A student earns either an NP (audit pass) or an NF (audit fail) grade for an audit course. The audit pass (NP)
grade may be awarded if the student satisfies the attendance criteria specified for the course and he/she
has obtained at least a ‘D’ grade. The course coordinator can specify a higher criterion for audit pass at the
beginning of the semester. If either of these requirements is not fulfilled, the audit fail (NF) grade is awarded.
(d) Grades obtained in an audit course are not considered in the calculation of SGPA or CGPA.
4.3 Non-graded Core Requirement

As part of the curriculum, non-graded units have been prescribed as core requirements for the undergraduate
degree. These units can be earned through a combination of formal academic activity and informal co-curricular
or extra-curricular activities. The components of non-graded core requirement are listed in Table 6.
Table 6: Components of Non-Graded Core Requirement
Components Units
1 Introduction to the Engineering and Programme 01
2 Language and Writing Skills 02
3 NCC / NSO / NSS 02
4 Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility 02
5 Communication Skills / Seminar 01
6 Design / Practical Experience 03
Total 11
A B.Tech./Dual Degree student who has completed all the credits and NGU requirements before 8th/10th Semester
will be required to register for 2 NGU units in the remaining semesters.
The 11 units listed in Table 6 will be core requirement for all undergraduate programmes. A student must earn
these 11 units over the complete duration of the programme with special considerations and requirements for each
component. A student must get S grades to earn these units. Incomplete performance in these components will be
indicated by a Z grade. A brief description of the six components is given below.
(a) Introduction to Engineering (NIN100) (0.5 unit)

All students will be required to undergo exercises in the first semester, for earning 1 unit. These may involve
listening to lectures, developing project reports based upon self-study, visit to laboratories (in and outside
the Institute) and industry, executing simple scientific or engineering projects.
Introduction to Programme (XXN101) (0.5 unit)

This would be discipline specific introduction to programme. This would be offered in the third semester. In
the Course no, ‘XX’ is the Course code prefix as shown in Table 1. An exception to this are the ME2 and EE3
Programmes, for which the course number would be MCN111 and ELN111 respectively.
(b) Language and Writing Skills (NLN100–101) (2 units)

All students will be required to undergo exercises in the first year, spanning over two semesters. These
exercises will be designed to impart language skills – enhancing their ability of listening comprehension,
reading and writing in English. Further, students will be exposed to principles of English Grammar and
nuances of technical writing. These exercises will be tailored according to the background of the students.
The background of the students will be assessed through a test to be conducted at the beginning of the first
semester. These exercises can be organized either during normal academic hours or outside. A student can
be prescribed self-learning exercises or additional practice sessions during vacations as requirement for
securing an S grade.
(c) NCC/NSO/NSS (NCN100/NSN100/NPN100) (2 units)

NCC/NSO/NSS will form part of core requirement of the degree. Students will be required to earn 2 units
from these activities. The faculty coordinator will devise a scheme for awarding these units.
19
(d) Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility (2 units)

There is increasing consensus worldwide that professional ethics need to be incorporated into the
engineering curriculum to provide students exposure to the kind of professional and ethical dilemmas
they might face on an individual basis as well as the larger ethical aspects of technology development.
Workshops, discussions/debates will be organized to sensitize students about Professional Ethics and
Social Responsibility. This course will be also associated with 2 units implying total involvement of
about 100 hours. Involvement of students in these activities will be monitored by the coordinator for
awarding the S grade.
Part 1: Regular Classroom Contact (NEN100-101) (1 unit)
The first part of PESR involves regular sessions of 1.5-2 hours with a faculty mentor. Activities in the sessions
would be decided by the faculty mentor, with a total of 14-15 hours in regular sessions in each of the first two
semesters. NEN100 and NEN101 are compulsory for all students, and a student will earn one unit by getting
S grade in both these courses.
Part 2: Case Studies and Practical/Field Activity (NEN300 and NEN201/NEN202/NEN203)
The Second unit under PESR has two components. The first component, Professional Ethics Case Studies,
is compulsory, and is offered under the course number NEN300. For the second component, the student can
choose to participate in any one out of a large variety of activities relevant to the core themes of PESR. These
activities have been divided into three broad categories, viz., (a) PESR internships (b) PESR workshops and
(c) PESR projects with separate course numbers NEN201, NEN202 and NEN203 respectively. All requirements
of PESR non-graded component should be completed before the beginning of 7th semester.
(e) Communication Skills (1 unit)
Communication skills is an essential requirement for a modern engineer. As a part of the degree requirements,
undergraduate students will have to earn 1 unit in communication skills. It can be earned by following means:
(i) Students can register for one topic-specific seminar course in his/her parent department for earning
one unit. These courses will be elective, offered in each semester. These seminar sessions will be
held for two hours per week. Multiple such courses can run in parallel. These seminars will be open
to all students and faculty of IIT Delhi. These seminars can be scheduled outside office hours as well.
(ii) Students can also earn the remaining one unit through any one of the following means:
• By successfully undergoing a Communication Skills course/workshop as an activity approved by
Dean, Academics.
• By documentary evidence of excellence in debating and/or writing as certified by faculty in-charge
of these activities.
• By participating in course seminars of regular courses the student is attending; for example, regular
L courses can have optional seminar component.
• Registering and completing a seminar course offered by any Department/Centre/School.
A student will be required to earn these units during his/her 5th to 8th registered semester.
(f) Design and Practical Experience (3 units)
The objective of this non-graded core requirement component is to give opportunities to students to acquire
substantial design and practical experience both as a part of formal courses as well as in an informal
setting. Second and even more important objective of this course is to inculcate design thinking among
students and facilitate gaining some design immersion experience. Design and Practical Experience (DPE)
component is introduced to promote learning by doing which does two important things: it allows students
to immerse themselves in the environment in which work is to be done, so that they can understand the
values and expectations of the target beneficiaries. Secondly, it enables a fresh look at problems, not only
at the ways of defining them, but also at the ways to solve those including skill-sets that are required to
address them. A shift from problem-based learning (acquisition of knowledge) to project-based learning
(application of knowledge), where the projects are grounded in problems outside the classrooms and
labs in everyday scenarios, will involve students in reality, and reality in education. Design and Practical
Experience bridges division between the curricular and the co-curricular and encourages curiosity and
involvement that arise out of total absorption in a subject of interest. Non-graded units in Design and
Practical Experience can be earned through one or more the following:
20
• Specialized Elective Courses related to Design and Practical Experience (Maximum 2 Units)
• Regular Courses with optional Design and Practical Experience Component (Maximum 2 Units)
• Summer/winter/semester/SURA/DISA projects with Institute faculty, not evaluated for earning credits
(Maximum 2 units)
• Co-curricular projects such as Robocon, SAE-minibaja, etc. (Maximum 2 Units)
• Summer Internships with Industry (Maximum 2 Units)
• One Semester Internship (Maximum 5 Units)
• Workshop Module on Design and Practical Experience offered by Faculty/Visitors (1 Unit each)
4.4 Minimum and Maximum durations for completing degree requirements

(a) The minimum and maximum permitted duration of each academic programme will be determined in terms
of number of registered regular semesters, hereinafter called registered semesters. Any semester in which
a student has registered for a course will be called a registered semester subject to the following:
(i) Only the First and Second semesters of an academic year can be registered semesters. The summer
semester will not be counted as a registered semester.
(ii) A semester when a student has been granted semester withdrawal or granted semester leave will not
be considered as a registered semester.
(iii) The semester when a student is suspended from the Institute on disciplinary grounds will not be counted
towards the number of registered semesters.
(iv) A semester in which a student is allowed by the Institute to undergo semester - long internship will be
counted as a registered semester.
The summer semesters shall normally be available for earning credits. However, after the student has
registered for the maximum permissible number of registered semesters, the subsequent summer semesters
will not be available for earning credits.
(b) The minimum and maximum permissible number of registered semesters for completing all degree
requirements are defined in Table 7.
Table 7: Minimum and Maximum permissible duration for completing degree requirements.
Programme Name Minimum Number of Maximum Number of Registered Semesters

Registered Semesters Permitted for Completing Degree Requirements
B.Tech. 8 12*
Dual Degree 10 14*

*If a student opts for the slow-paced programme, then the maximum permissible number of registered semesters shall be
increased by two semesters.
4.5 Absence During the Semester

(a) A student must inform the Dean, Academics immediately of any instance of continuous absence from classes.
(b) A student who is absent due to illness or any other emergency, up to a maximum of two weeks, should
approach the course coordinator for make-up quizzes, assignments and laboratory work.
(c) A student who has been absent from a minor test due to illness should approach the course coordinator for
a make-up test immediately on return to class. The request should be supported with a medical certificate
from Institute’s medical officer. A certificate from a registered medical practitioner will also be acceptable
for a student normally residing off-campus provided registration number of the medical practitioner appears
explicitly on the certificate.
(d) In case a student misses a minor test on the same day on which he / she has appeared in another test, a
medical certificate from the institute’s medical must be submitted.
21
(e) In case of absence on medical grounds or other special circumstances, before or during the major examination
period, the student can apply for ‘I’ grade. At least 75% attendance in a course is necessary for being eligible
for request of I-grade in that course. An application requesting I-grade should be made at the earliest but not
later than the last day of major tests. An online application should be made by the student. On submission of
a medical certificate / Dean’s permission, the UG section verifies the certificate and forwards the request to
the concerned course coordinator. The course coordinator verifies the attendance requirement and forwards
the application to the Head of the Department / Centre / School of the student’s programme. Head’s approval
is contingent upon the satisfaction of attendance requirement. On approval, an ‘I’ grade is awarded to the
student. All evaluation requirements for students with ‘I’ grade should be completed before the end of the
first week of the next semester. Upon completion of all course requirements, the ‘I’ grade is converted to a
regular grade (A to F, NP or NF).
(f) In case the period of absence on medical grounds is more than 20 working days during the semester, a student
may apply for withdrawal from the semester, i.e. withdrawal from all courses registered that semester. Such
application must be made as early as possible and latest before the start of the major tests. No applications for
semester withdrawal will be considered after the major tests have commenced. Dean, Academics, depending
on the merit of the case, will approve such applications. Partial withdrawal from courses registered in a
semester is not allowed.
(g) If a student is continuously absent from the institute for more than four weeks without notifying the Dean
Academics, his/her name will be removed from institute rolls.
4.6 Conditions for Continuation of Registration, Termination/Re-start, Probation

and Warning
During the first two registered semesters of an undergraduate programme, a student is registered for a total of
34 credits, besides non-graded units. By the end of the first two registered semesters, not including summer, a
student is expected to earn a minimum number of credits (excluding non-graded units) as specified in Table 8, in
order to continue registration. If a student does not meet this criterion, his/her performance is classified as “Poor
Performance”, and he/she may opt to start the programme afresh, or else his/her registration will be terminated.
This option to re-start the programme is available to a student only once.
Table 8: Criteria for continuation at the end of second registered semester
Earned Credits
Description (excluding non-graded units) Decision

if the department makes a favourable recommendation. The Head of the Department’s recommendation shall
22
be prepared after consultation with the student, and should include (i) feasibility of completing the programme
requirements, and (ii) identification of remedial measures for the problems leading to poor performance.
(e) A student on probation can register upto 18 credits in a semester. This can be relaxed in 8th / 10th or later
registered semester for B.Tech. / Dual Degree students, respectively.
Slow-paced programme
(a) If a student has earned the minimum credits specified in Table 8 for continuation but has less than 28 Earned
Credits at the end of the first two registered semesters, he/ she will be eligible to opt for the slow-paced
programme. A student opting for such a programme shall be permitted two additional registered semesters
for completing degree requirements as indicated in Table 7.
(b) In the slow paced programme, the upper limit for credits registered in a semester will be 18. A student in this
programme is expected to earn at least 9 credits with minimum SGPA of 5.0 in any semester, falling which
he/ she will be issued a warning and placed on probation.
A student placed on probation would be monitored, including mandatory attendance in special tutorials and
mentoring.
If the performance of a student on probation does not meet the above criterion in the following registered
semester, then the student would face termination and will be permitted to register by the Dean Academics
only if the department makes a favourable recommendation. The Head of the Department’s recommendation
shall be prepared after consultation with the student, and should include (i) feasibility of completing the
programme, and (ii) identification of remedial measures for the problems leading to poor performance.
(c) The semester-wise schedule of the slow-paced programme shall be defined by the respective department
for each student.
4.7 Scheme for Academic Advising of Undergraduate Students

Advising Scheme for Regular Students
(a) There is a class committee for each entry year of all programmes. The class committee is responsible for
providing consistent and uniform academic advice to the entire batch of students.
(b) Class committee shall consist of a Chairman, at least two faculty members of the department (one of them will
function as Convenor of the class committee) and elected student representatives (as per CAIC constitution)
including a student coordinator. All student coordinators of courses intended for the batch in a given semester
and special advisors of academically weak students will be permanent invitees to the class committee. The
faculty members in the class committee would be referred to as Faculty Mentors for the batch.
(c) A Chairperson appointed for each entry year of students by the Head of the Department shall be associated
with the batch till it graduates and will provide basic guidance for formulating course plan and electives for
the students of the batch.
(d) The Convenor of a class committee will be appointed in a year-specific fashion: for example, the Convenor of
the second year class committee would continue in the same position for 3 years, serving consecutive batches.
(e) Students can approach any class committee member for academic advice before registration. In other words,
all the three members of the class committee will have the functional role of mentor and local guardian for all
the students. In case of need for any exception and relaxation in rules or regulations pertaining to registration
of courses, the class committee Convenor will recommend and forward the request.
(f) The faculty members of the committee in consultation with the elected representatives of the students will
provide academic advice applicable to all the students in general. The class committee is also expected to
discharge following responsibilities:
(i) Considering mid-semester feed-back about courses running in the current semester
(ii) Identifying electives for the subsequent semester
(iii) Addressing issues related to scheduling and categorisation of courses
(iv) Organizing STIC events for the batch.
23
(g) The Class Committee Convenor with the support of student coordinator will organize at least one Student-
Teacher Interaction Committee (STIC) event in each semester for interaction between class committee
members and all the students of the batch.
(h) The Chairman, Convenor and the other faculty members of first year class committee would be identified by
the department prior to the orientation of new students. During orientation, students and their parents will be
introduced to these class committee members.
Advising Scheme for Academically Weak Students

(a) The students on probation in each batch will be put under a special advisor, identified by the department,
who is expected to monitor the students on probation in a personalized manner. Normally, not more than 5-8
students would be assigned to a special advisor. Heads of Departments will appoint special advisors at the
beginning of an academic session.
(b) A meeting of the special advisors with Dean, Academics would be held at the beginning of each semester
for coordination of the advising process.
(c) A student on probation is expected to be in close contact with the advisor by meeting him/her at least once
every 3 weeks for the entire period during which the student continues to remain in probation. Special advisors
will be invitees to the class committee meetings.
(d) Special advisor in consultation with the parents and student counsellor, if required, will make a student-specific
academic plan. The special advisor is expected to:
• Closely interact with the weak student and his/her parents
• Formulate individualized academic plan
• Manage and track counselling process of the student, if any, in coordination with the Associate Dean,
Student Welfare.
• Approve their registration
• Manage the recommendation/appeal for termination/continuation process in consultation with Head of
the Department and Dean, Academics.
(e) At the time of registration for a semester, the student meets his / her advisor if possible with parents, to:
• Identify specific problems and ways to mitigate the same
• Formulate academic plan and target(s) for the semester
• Help Head of the Department in the processing of the student’s appeal against termination, if applicable
• Approve the registration of the student online.
(f) The student being placed under probation for the first time may also meet the counsellor during this period,
if needed. The counsellor can provide professional help in identifying to resolving problems. Counsellors’
input will be available to the special advisor. During the add-drop period, the student, preferably along with
his/her parents, should come and meet the Counsellor.
(g) While considering any appeal from an academically weak student for continuation of his registration, the
Dean, Academics would consider the following:
(i) whether he/she has met his/her Advisor and Counsellor at the scheduled times on a regular basis and
(ii) whether he/she is regular in help sessions.
Registration of a student under probation will not be approved for the next semester if he/she does not
comply with the process of meeting the advisor and counsellor. He/ she will then be required to withdraw
from the semester.
(h) A student on probation will not be permitted to contest for any position of responsibility. However, he/ she will
be permitted to participate in extra-curricular activities in a restricted fashion only on specific recommendation
of his / her advisor.
An Institute level committee known as the Welfare Committee would monitor the entire operation of academic
advising for weak students. Functions of the Welfare committee include monitoring the performance of weak students
24
and making the final recommendations regarding termination/ continuation, restarting first year and slow-paced
programme requests. This committee would also evaluate the weak students based on the feed-back regarding
(i) regularity in meeting the advisor and /or counsellor
(ii) student’s attendance in help sessions and
(iii) academic performance.
A summary of the weak student’s performance would be made available to the class committee members, Head of
the student’s Department as well as Course Coordinators of the courses in which the student is currently registered.
Student Mentors
(a) Each student will be assigned a student mentor from the same hostel and preferably from the same discipline
to mentor students on academic and extra-curricular activities and provide feed-back to the advisor and
counselor in case of weak students.
(b) There are individual incentives for good student mentors. Also, hostels performing well on mentoring benefit
in terms of points towards BSW trophy.
4.8 Capability Linked Opportunities for Undergraduate Students

A student who clears all the first year credit requirements with CGPA 7.0 and above will be permitted to register
for additional credits from third semester onwards. A student will be permitted to register for up to 26 credits per
semester provided
(a) The student has cleared all courses for which the student has registered till then and
(b) His / her CGPA is 7 or above
In case a student does not meet this requirement but has cleared 20×N credits, where N is the total number of
semesters spent, then he/she can register up to a maximum of 24 credits.
A student registering for 26 credits in each semester after the end of first year can complete a maximum of 190
credits at the end of 4 years. Similarly, a student registering for 24 credits in each semester after first year can
complete a maximum of 178 credits. Since the graduation requirement for 4-year B.Tech programmes varies
between 145-155 Earned Credits, it will be feasible for capable students to add value to their degrees by registering
for additional courses of their choice.
Students can make use of these additional credits in two blocks of 20 credits to opt for:
(a) Minor / Interdisciplinary Area Specialization
(b) Departmental Specialization
A student based on his / her performance and interest can choose either one on both. Successful completion of
minor area credits and / or departmental Specialization will be indicated on the degree.
When a student opts for a departmental specialization and / or a minor area, he / she can use 10 open category
credits (mandatory degree requirement) towards departmental specialization and/or minor area requirements. For
example, a student registered for B.Tech (Chemical Engineering) and opting for minor area in Computer Science and
Engg., can opt for courses prescribed for minor area in Computer Science and Engineering, as part of mandatory
10 credits requirements under OC. He / she will need to do additional 10 credits in the minor area to be eligible for
Minor area specialization in the degree.
A student may not opt for either of the two but can do additional credits through open choice of courses. In case
a student cannot meet requirements of a minor area or departmental Specialization, additional credits earned by
the student over and above his / her degree requirement will be used for DGPA calculation and will be indicated
on his / her transcript.
A set of pre-defined courses of total 20 credits in a focus area comprises a Departmental Specialization if the
courses belong to the parent Department of an undergraduate programme, or a Minor / Interdisciplinary Area
Specialization if the courses belong to a different Department / Centre / School. Additional conditions and details of
individual specializations are given in Section 7.
If any course of a Minor / Interdisciplinary area overlaps with any core course (DC or PC category courses) or
elective course (DE or PE category courses) of the student’s programme, then credits from this course will not count
towards the minor area credit requirements, though this course may contribute towards satisfying the requirement
of the Minor / Interdisciplinary area. In such a case, the requirement of 20 credits must be completed by taking
other courses of the specialization.
25
4.9 Change of Programme at the End of the First Year

(a) An undergraduate student is eligible to apply for change of branch at the end of the first year only, provided
he / she satisfies the following criteria:
(i) CGPA for General and OBC category students : >8.00
(ii) CGPA for SC / ST and Person with Disability category students : >7.00
(iii) Earned credits / non-graded units at the end : All credits of core and non-graded
of the second semester of the first year units of the first year
(iv)
Optionally, one first year course would be identified by each programme, in which the grade of the
applicant is equal to or above B. A list of such courses identified for various programmes is given in Table 9.
(b) The student should have no disciplinary action against him/her.
(c) Change of the branch will be permitted strictly in the order of merit, in each category, as determined by CGPA
at the end of first year, subject to the limitation that the actual number of students in the third semester in the
branch to which transfer is to be made should not exceed its sanctioned strength by more than 15% and the
strength of the branch from which transfer is being sought does not fall below 85% of its sanctioned strength.
(d) In case more than one student applying for programme change have the same CGPA, the tie shall be resolved
on the basis of JEE ranks of such applicants.
(e) The conditions mentioned in item (a) above will not be insisted upon for change to a branch in which a vacancy
exists with reference to the sanctioned strengths, and the concerned student was eligible as per JEE Rank for
admission to that branch at the time of entry to IIT Delhi. However, these conditions will continue to apply in
case of students seeking change to a branch to which the concerned student was not eligible for admission
at the time of entry to IIT Delhi.

A self-study course will be from the regular UG courses listed in this document (Section 10). The main features of
a self-study course are as follows:
(a) A student may be given a self-study course not exceeding 5 credits in the final semester if he / she is short
by a maximum of 5 earned credits required for graduation and provided that the course is not running in that
semester as a regular course. Students in the Dual-Degree programmes are allowed to avail of this provision
during their last semester. However, they would be permitted to take only a UG course as a possible self-
study course. A student can make use of this provision only once during the programme.
(b) A student may also be permitted to do a U.G. core course not exceeding 5 credits in self-study mode at most
once during the program, provided he / she has failed in it earlier and the course is not being offered as a
regular course during that semester.
(c) Students should apply for a self-study course with appropriate recommendation of a Course Coordinator
and the Head of the Department of the student’s programme. The final sanction of a self-study course to a
student is made by the Dean, Academics.
(d) Normally, no formal lectures will be held for a self-study course but laboratory, design and computation
exercises will be conducted if they form an integral part of the course.
(e) The Course Coordinator will hold minor and major tests besides other tests/quizzes for giving his/her
assessment at the end of the semester. In summer semester, there will be at least one mid semester test
and a major test.
(f) The self-study course will run during the total duration of a given semester (Semester I, Semester II, or the
summer semester).
4.11 Assistantship for Dual-Degree Programmes

The students of dual-degree programmes will be considered for award of institute research/ teaching assistantship
if they have earned 135 credits. Only those students who have either qualified GATE or have a CGPA more than
8.0 will be eligible for this assistantship. The assistantship will be provided for a maximum period of 14 months
beginning from the summer semester following eighth semester, provided the student is registered for M.Tech.
Major Project in that semester. A student availing assistantship will be required to provide 8 hours of assistance
per week besides his/ her normal academic work. For continuation of assistantship a student will need to secure
SGPA of 7.0. A student will be eligible to receive assistantship from sources other than institute fund or MHRD if
he/she has a CGPA of 7.0 and has earned 135 credits.
A student receiving assistantship will be eligible for total of 30 days leave during the 14-month period. He/she will
not be entitled to mid-semester breaks, winter and summer vacations.
4.12 Admission of UG Students to PG Programmes

Undergraduate students of the Institute are eligible for admission to PG programmes at IIT Delhi. For admission to
PG programme the minimum CGPA required at the end of sixth semester shall be 7.5. The student will be awarded
both the degrees - B.Tech. and the PG degree on successful completion of the degree requirements of both the
programmes with provision for waiver of a maximum of 10 credits.
4.13 Measures for helping SC/ST Students

A number of measures exist for helping students belonging to SC and ST categories. A senior faculty member
is appointed as adviser to SC/ST students for advising them on academic and non-academic matters. Financial
measures for helping SC/ST students are described in the Prospectus.

The detailed requirements for continuation as a student in the respective programme for M.Sc., M.B.A., M.Des.
M.Tech., M.S. (Research), M.P.P., Ph.D. degrees and P.G. D.I.I.T. are listed in Table 10. Failure to maintain the
specified academic standing will result in termination of registration and the student’s name will be struck off the rolls.
The maximum permitted duration of each programme will be determined in terms of the number of registered
semesters. Any semester in which a student has registered for a course will be called a registered semester subject
to the following:
(a) Only the 1st and 2nd semesters of an academic year can be registered semesters. The summer semester
will not be considered as a registered semester.
(b) A semester when a student has been granted semester withdrawal or granted leave will not be considered
as a registered semester.
(c) The semester when a student is suspended from the Institute on disciplinary grounds will not be counted
towards the number of registered semesters.
The summer semesters falling in between the permitted registered semesters shall be available for earning credits.
After the student has registered for the maximum permissible number of registered semesters, the subsequent
summer semesters will not be available for earning credits.
5.3 Minimum Student Registration for a Programme

M.Sc., M.B.A., M.Des., M.P.P. or M.Tech. programme will not be run unless the number of students registered for
that programme is six or more. If the number of students left in a programme at the end of the 2nd semester is
less than four, the same programme may be looked into for temporary suspension by the Board of Educational
Research and Planning.
5.4 Lower and Upper Limits for Credits Registered

For students pursuing M.Sc., M.B.A., M.Tech., M.P.P. and M.S.(Research), the minimum registration requirements
in a semester are specified in Table 10. These minimum credit requirements are not applicable for graduating
students who require lower than the proposed minimum to graduate.
5.5 Audit Courses for PG Students

(a) M.Tech. / M.S.(R) / M.Sc. / M.P.P./ Ph.D. students are eligible for auditing a course at any time before completion
of the programme.
(b) A student can request for an audit grade in any course provided he / she is eligible to earn audit credits,
he/she is already registered for that course and it is not a core requirement of the student’s programme.
The request for auditing a course should be made on or before the last date for audit requests as defined
in the semester schedule.
(c) A student earns either an NP (audit pass) or an NF (audit fail) grade for an audit course. The audit pass (NP)
grade may be awarded if the student satisfies the attendance criteria specified for the course and he/she
has obtained at least a ‘D’ grade. The course coordinator can specify a higher criterion for audit pass at the
beginning of the semester. If either of these requirements is not fulfilled, the audit fail (NF) grade is awarded.
(d) Grades obtained in an audit course are not considered in the calculation of SGPA or CGPA.
(e) M.Tech., M.Sc., M.S.(R), M.P.P. and Ph.D. students can audit a course over and above their credit requirements,
as specified by the supervisor and SRC. Audited credits do not count for graduation requirements of PG
students.
28
(f) Non-credit core courses or core courses not considered for calculation of SGPA or CGPA for PG programmes
like Ph.D., MBA, M.Tech., M.P.P., M.S.(R) should not be referred to as audit courses. These courses should
be treated like similar core requirements for UG programmes such as Introduction to Programme. A student
can earn either a S or Z grade in such courses. The grade S indicates successful completion. A student has
to earn a S grade in such a course to meet the core requirements of a programme.
5.6 Award of D.I.I.T. to M.Tech./MBA Students

If a student after completing the maximum period available for the M.Tech. programme is not able to get the required
minimum DGPA of 6.0 with the minimum required credits for the respective programme, then he / she can apply
for a D.I.I.T. irrespective of whether the department/centre runs a Diploma programme or not. For the award of
D.I.I.T., the student must have earned a minimum of 36 valid credits with a minimum CGPA of 5.5. The request for
the award of DIIT must be made within 5 years of the date of joining the programme.
In case of M.B.A., DIIT shall be considered if at least 36 credits (9 courses from core and 3 courses from focus
module) +4 compulsory audit courses, have been completed satisfactorily with a minimum CGPA of 5.5.
5.7 Regulations for Part-time Students

Normally, part-time M.Tech. and M.S. (Research) students are expected to complete the degree requirements in
six semesters. In case of special circumstances, including extension of project work, the student can be allowed to
continue beyond six semesters but in any case he/she cannot extend registration beyond ten semesters excluding
summer semesters. In case of full-time students converting to part-time registration, the limit of six semesters will
continue to apply.
5.8 Leave Rules for P.G. D.I.I.T., M.Des., M.Tech. and M.S. (Research)
A full-time P.G. D.I.I.T., M.Des., M.Tech. or M.S. (Research) student during his / her stay at the Institute will be
entitled to leave for 30 days (including leave on medical grounds), per academic year. Even during mid-semester
breaks, and summer and winter vacations, he/she will have to explicitly apply for leave. He / she, however, may be
permitted to avail of leave only up to 15 days during winter vacation at the end of the first semester.
The leave will be subject to approval of the Head of Department/Centre / Programme/School Coordinator concerned
and a proper leave account of each student shall be maintained by the Department / Centre / Programm/School
Coordinator concerned.
5.9 Assistantship Requirements

A P.G. D.I.I.T., M.Des., M.Tech. or M.S. (Research) student irrespective of the source of assistantship, must attend
at least 75% of classes in each course in which he / she is registered. In case his / her attendance falls below 75% in
any course during a month, he/she will not be paid assistantship for that month. Further, if his / her attendance again
falls short of 75 % in any course in any subsequent month in that semester, his / her studentship and assistantship
will be terminated. For the above purpose, if 75% works out to be a number which is not a whole number, the
immediate lower whole number will be treated as the required 75% attendance.
The students are expected to put in 8 hours per week towards the work assigned by the Institute. Continuation
of assistantship in a subsequent semester would be conditional to satisfactory performance of the assigned
work and a SGPA of 7.0 or more (relaxed to 6.75 for SC/ST and PH students registered in M.Des., M.Tech. and
M.S. (Research) programmes).
5.10 Summer Registration

Summer semester registration for PG students is admissible. M.Tech./M.S.(R)/M.Des./M.P.P. students will be
allowed to register for maximum of one course (upto 4 Credits) and M.B.A./M.Sc. students upto 2 courses in
the summer. Summer semester registration for PG students is permitted only when a student would graduate
on completion of the courses registered in summer, and it is recommended by DRC/CRC. For projects, in case
X grade is awarded in the second semester, the student would be expected to register during summer for
completion of the project. Normally regular courses would not be offered during summer semester. Courses
can, however, be offered by Departments/Centres/Schools for taking care of special situations subject to the
availability and consent of faculty.
29
5.11 Master of Science (Research) Regulations

The M.S. (Research) programme will comprise of 15 credits of the course work and 36 credits of the research
work. The 15 credits of course work should not include any component of minor project. In the first semester,
the student has to register for a minimum of 09 and a maximum of 15 credits. In the first semester, the part-time
students can only register for course work with minimum and maximum limits of 3 and 12 credits, respectively.
The course work must be completed by the end of third semester; otherwise the registration of the student will
stand cancelled.
The larger project component gives the student an opportunity to conduct in-depth investigation on a topic of
his/her interest. The project will be monitored by the Student Research Committee (SRC) and the students will
have to register for thesis (project course no. xxD895, ‘xx’ is department / school code) for 36 credits. An ‘X’
grade is awarded at the end of each semester until the project work gets completed and the thesis is written.
Nominally the M.S.(R) programme is expected to take 4 semesters (excluding summer). Upon completion of
project work, a thesis is written that is evaluated by one internal and one external examiner. Upon satisfactory
recommendations from the examiners, the thesis defense can be conducted before a committee. Conversion
to Ph.D. is also possible. For further details, see the “Rules and Regulations for Master of Science (Research)
Programme” booklet.
5.12 Migration from one PG programme to another PG Programme of the Institute

Provision exists for the PG students of the Institute to move from (i) M.Tech./M.S.(R) to Ph.D., (ii) M.Tech. to M.S.(R),
and (iii) M.S.(R) to M.Tech. as per details given in the table below:

completion of their M.Tech. / M.S.(R) will be granted waiver of residency period. The course work requirements can
be made up by either additional credits (6 credits as per present norms) taken during their M.Tech./M.S.(R) period
(over and above their minimum Degree requirements) or in the summer semester (first or second) by identifying
courses. In all cases, the request for such credit transfer should be recommended by the concerned DRC / CRC / SRC
as relevant to their respective Ph.D. programmes.
5.13 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Regulations

The award of Ph.D. degree is in recognition of high achievements, independent research and application of
scientific knowledge to the solution of technical and scientific problems. Creative and productive enquiry is the
basic concept underlying the research work. In order to overcome any deficiency in the breadth of fundamental
training or proper foundation for advanced work, special preliminary or pre-Ph.D. courses are given by each
Department/Centre/School. These courses are given either by faculty members or by guest-speakers and
specialists in the field of research.
5.13.1 Course requirements

Candidates admitted to non-engineering departments and having a B.Tech. / M.Sc. / M.A. or equivalent degree are
required to complete a minimum of 12 credits. Relaxation up to 6 credits in the course work can be considered
for those with an M.Phil. degree. The minimum requirement of pre-Ph.D. Course Credits / work for Ph.D. student
admitted to an engineering department and having B.Tech./M.Sc. Degree is 20 credits. The minimum requirement
of pre-Ph.D. Course Credits/work for Ph.D. student admitted to engineering department and having M.Tech. or
equivalent Degree is 6 credits. Individual Academic Units may recommend course work requirements above the

# The summer semester will not be considered as a registered semester.

M.Tech. or equivalent degree holders admitted to Ph.D. are required to complete a minimum of 6 credits. The
Departments / Centres / Schools may stipulate a larger number of credits in general or in specific cases. The
course requirement will be determined by the Department / Centre / School Research Committee (DRC / CRC / SRC)
on the recommendations of the supervisor after due consideration of the background of the student in relation
to the proposed topic of research. These courses can be prescribed from existing M.Tech. courses and / or
from special pre-Ph.D. courses including laboratory, seminar, foreign language, etc. Normally, no independent
study course will be allowed for Ph.D. students. The pre-Ph.D. course credits that contribute to the DGPA of the
Research Scholar can only be earned from regular lecture courses. In exceptional cases for Research Scholars
who join the Ph.D. programme after B.Tech. (or equivalent) degree, a maximum of one course may be allowed
having laboratory or programming content only. Such an exception would be allowed by the Dean, Academics
on recommendation of the SRC of the student and the corresponding DRC/CRC.
Further, in case a Ph.D. student having completed 15 credits is unable to complete the research at the Ph.D.
level for any reason whatsoever, he / she may be allowed to complete M.S. (Research) degree requirement as
per Institute rules.
A student shall be formally registered / admitted to the candidacy of Ph.D. degree only after he / she has cleared
the comprehensive examination. Students would be permitted to take the comprehensive examination only after
they have submitted a research plan and have completed the course work (including compulsory audit course
- HSL 800: Research Writing). Full-time and part-time students must clear the comprehensive examination
within a period of 18 months and 24 months, respectively, from the date of joining. A maximum of two chances
will be given to any student to clear the comprehensive examination. Every student, after having completed the
comprehensive examination must formally register for the candidacy on a form obtainable from the PG Section.

5.13.3 Leave regulations

(a) Leave during course work
A full-time Ph.D. student, during his/her stay at the Institute will be entitled to leave for 30 days, including leave
on medical grounds, per academic year. Even during mid-semester breaks, and summer and winter vacations,
he/she will have to explicitly apply for leave. He/she, however, may be permitted to avail of leave only up to 15
days during winter vacation at the end of the first semester.
Leave beyond 30 days in an academic year may be granted to a research scholar in exceptional cases subject to
the following conditions:
(i) the leave beyond 30 days will be without Assistantship/Scholarship, and
(ii) such an extension of up to additional 30 days will be granted only once during the programme of the scholar.
In addition, a Ph.D. student who has completed his/her course work may be granted leave on medical grounds
up to 10 days per academic year.

5.13.4 Attendance requirements for assistantship

Any full time Ph.D. student receiving assistantship or scholarship irrespective of the source while pursuing course
work, must attend at least 75% of classes in each course in which he/she is registered. In case his/her attendance
falls below 75% in any course during a month, he/she will not be paid assistantship for that month. Further, if his/her
attendance again falls short of 75% in any course in any subsequent month in that semester, his / her studentship
and assistantship will be terminated. A research scholar after having completed the course work must attend to
his/her research work on all the working days and mark attendance except when he/she is on duly sanctioned
leave. The requirement of 75% attendance will apply as above, on daily attendance except in the cases where
longer leave has been duly sanctioned within the leave entitlement of the student. For the above purpose, if 75%
works out to be a number which is not a whole number, the immediate lower whole number will be treated as the
required 75% attendance.
All scholars who are offered assistantship are expected to put in 8 hours per week towards the work assigned by
the Institute. Continuation of assistantship in the subsequent semester would be conditional, subject to satisfactory
performance in the work assigned.
The above holds for Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF) scholars as well. Additional rules governing
PMRF scholars may be announced from time to time.
5.13.5 Further regulations governing Ph.D. students

The Ph.D. degree of the Institute may be conferred on a candidate who fulfills all the requirements detailed in the
Ordinances and other rules, approved by the Senate. Some of the important regulations are given below:
(i) Applications for Ph.D. registration, i.e., for entry to a course of study and research leading to Ph.D.
degree must be made to the Board of Academic Programmes (BAP) on the approved form. The date
of registration is normally the date of joining the programme. However, in exceptional cases the date of
registration may be preponed by a maximum of 6 months by the BAP if it is convinced that the candidate
has spent adequate amount of time on research earlier.
(ii) The academic programme of all the Ph.D. candidates in a Department/Centre/School will be coordinated
by the DRC/CRC/SRC appointed by the BAP.
(iii) The supervisor shall be a full-time member of the academic staff of the Institute. The supervisor(s) shall
be appointed within three months of joining the programme. For this, Ph.D. candidates must fill up the
required portion of the prescribed form, following which supervisor(s) must fill up the required portion,
and the Student Research Committee (SRC) must be finalized by the respective DRC/CRC/SRC, of
the Academic Unit. This process must be completed within three months of the Ph.D. candidate's date
of first registration. If necessary, the Board of Academic Programme on the recommendations of the
Supervisor through the DRC/CRC/SRC, may appoint Joint Supervisor(s) not exceeding two from inside
or outside the Institute. Normally, there should not be more than two supervisors for a candidate from
within the Institute. Appointment of any Joint Supervisor would not be permitted after a lapse of eighteen
months from the date of registration of the candidate, except in cases when none of the supervisors is
in the Institute for a year or more at a stretch.
(iv) The DRC/CRC/SRC shall meet from time to time and review the progress of each candidate in the course
work, as well as research, by any means, including oral examination of the candidate, if necessary, and
recommend, after due consultation with the supervisor(s), such steps to the candidate as are necessary
to improve his/her performance.
(v) The progress of each candidate will be monitored by the DRC /CRC/SRC. For this purpose, the following
procedures will be followed:
(a) Ph.D. research work will be compulsorily given a course number, DTD 899 (Doctoral Thesis) for
all candidates across the Institute.
(b) The DRC/CRC/SRC Secretary/Ph.D. Coordinator will be coordinating the collection of progress
reports written and signed by the scholars and forwarded by the supervisors every semester.
(c) The supervisor(s)/SRC/DRC/CRC will evaluate the progress of the student every semester.
(d) X’ grade will be awarded if the progress is ‘satisfactory’ in that semester.
(e) If the progress is ‘unsatisfactory’, ‘U’ grade will be awarded. For the first appearance of ‘U’ grade,
a warning would be issued to the candidate by Dean, Academics. If his/her performance does not
improve after warning, the assistantship may be withheld.
34
(f) If there are two consecutive ‘U’ grade (in consecutive semesters), the registration will stand
terminated.
(g) Submission of progress report should continue till submission of thesis.
(h) Like all other courses, the grades for DTD 899 will be discussed in the Department/Centre/School
as per the semester schedule.
The above process will continue till the thesis is submitted.
(vi) The candidate may submit the thesis at any time provided that:
(a) He/she has completed the minimum period of registration including any extension prescribed by
the Board of Academic Programmes (BAP).
(b) He/she has completed the course work requirement as prescribed by the DRC/CRC/SRC with
DGPA not below 7.50 and has also cleared the comprehensive examination.
(c) He / she has submitted at least two months in advance, the title and a synopsis of the thesis. The
Synopsis along with the list of examiners suggested by the supervisor needs to be approved by
the DRC/CRC/SRC and then forwarded to Dean, Academics.
(vii) The thesis shall normally be written in English in the specific format and shall contain a critical account
of the candidate’s research. It should be characterized by a discovery of facts, a fresh approach towards
interpretation of facts and theories or significant contribution to knowledge of design or development, or
a combination of them. It should bear evidence of the candidate’s capacity for analysis and judgement
and also his/her ability to carry out independent investigation, design or development. A thesis should
normally be supplemented by published work. No part of the thesis or supplementary published work
shall be submitted for the award of any other Degree / Diploma. Normally, three copies of thesis in soft
cover have to be submitted in the format prescribed by the Institute. In case of joint supervision, four
copies of the thesis are required to be submitted.
(viii) On receipt of the title and synopsis of a thesis, the Dean, Academics will appoint a Board of Examiners
for each candidate. The Board will consist of one (or two) internal examiner(s), normally the supervisor(s),
and two external examiners, one from within India and one from abroad who shall be an expert in the
subject of thesis. These external examiners shall be chosen from a list of eight, to be recommended by
the supervisor(s) through the DRC/CRC/SRC while forwarding the title and synopsis of the thesis. The
candidate will be required to submit a fresh synopsis if more than 9 months elapse from the synopsis
submission date to the thesis submission date.
(ix) Each Examiner will submit a detailed assessment report recommending to the BAP, one of the following
courses of action:
(a) that the thesis be deemed satisfactory and that the candidate may defend his/her thesis orally
before a committee constituted for the purpose and any members of the faculty and research
students who wish to be present.
(b) that the candidate may submit a revised thesis before the expiry of a specific period. In the normal
circumstances, he/she may submit the revised thesis within a period of one year from the date of
communication in this regard from the Dean, Academics. However, in exceptional circumstances,
this period may be extended by the BAP by another year: the total revision time irrespective of the
number of revisions allowed will not exceed a period of two years.
(c) that the thesis be rejected outright.
In the event of disagreement between the external examiners, the BAP may, as a special case,
appoint another external examiner, if the merit of the case so demands. The examiner will report
independently to the BAP.
(x) The oral defense of the thesis shall be conducted by a committee consisting of the internal examiner(s)
and one external examiner. If none of the external examiners is available for the conduct of the oral
defense, an alternative external examiner shall be appointed by the BAP for this purpose only.
(xi) On the completion of all stages of the examination, the Oral Defense Committee shall recommend to
the BAP one of the following courses of action:
35
(a) that the degree be awarded.

(b) that the candidate should be examined on a further occasion in a manner they shall prescribe.
(c) that the degree shall not be awarded.
In the case of (a) above, the Oral Defense Committee shall also provide to the candidate a list of
all corrections and modifications, if any, suggested by the examiners.
(xii) The degree shall be awarded by the Senate, provided that:

6. Special Provisions (online teaching owing to covid-19) for acAdemic
Year 2021-22
As approved by the Senate in its meetings held on 28-05-2021 and 05-05-2021, Semester I 2021-22 is to be
conducted in online mode for teaching, evaluation and grading in view of Covid-19 outbreak. These rules are
applicable only for semesters completed online fully or partially, and supersede the academic rules mentioned
elsewhere in the document only for the duration of semesters affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
6.1 Academic Year 2021-22

a. Semester I of Academic Year 2021-22.
b. Laboratory components (either independent courses or as part of a course) of Semester I 2021-22, may
be conducted online (wherever possible, to be decided by Academic Units), or may be kept on hold (when
online laboratory sessions are not possible). Such pending laboratory courses will be scheduled later, most
likely during the latter half of Academic Year 2021-22.
6.2 Provision for Courses with both Lecture/Tutorial and Practical Components
to be offered in Semester I & IIA, 2021-22
For courses in which the laboratory components are deferred, the courses with both L/ T and P components will be
split and the part with L/T component will be offered. The part of the course with P component will be offered later.
6.3 Special Provisions on Grading, and Registration for the Semesters Conducted
Online
a. All students (UG, and PG students except Ph.D.) are allowed to Audit up to one core (compulsory) course
(including the core project courses) and up to 2 courses in electives category (including elective project
courses) in all semesters conducted in online mode (partly or completely). All such courses completed on Audit
basis will count towards the graduation credit requirements, for all programmes (UG and PG). The provision
will not hold if on-campus teaching resumes before the last date of Audit /Withdrawal for the Semester.
Ph.D. and M.S.(R) students may also exercise the Audit option for their registered online courses; however,
such audited courses will not contribute to their pre-Ph.D. coursework requirements. In case they audit
a course, they must register for some other course as per the advice of their supervisors / programme
coordinators in subsequent semesters to complete their pre-Ph.D. coursework requirements.
b. Incoming first-year UG students (2021 entry year) can also avail of the above feature of doing course on
Audit basis in online semesters, but if the Audit option is availed, then the student cannot apply for a
change of discipline after the first year. Therefore, students interested in applying for change of discipline
should not be auditing any course.
c. The minimum pass requirement for a non-Major project course done on credit basis (‘D’ grade) or on Audit
basis (‘NP’ grade) is to be fixed at 30% marks. The same criterion applies to Major project courses for
4-year UG and M.Sc. programmes. For Major Project Part 1 and Part 2 of Dual degree and 2-year M.Tech.
programmes, the minimum pass grade is ‘C’ for the course taken on credit basis and C-grade equivalent
marks for the course taken on Audit basis. Major project of M.S.(R) has to be for credit only.
d. Attendance in online classes or in on-campus classes will not be used as basis for grading or any other
aspects related to course evaluation policy, in semesters which are partly or fully completed online.
e. The minimum registration limit for a semester conducted in online mode is to be reduced by 4 credits for
full-time students of all programs except UG first year, Ph.D. and M.S.(R). A student who registers for credits
less than the minimum registration limit (for a normal on-campus semester) in the online semester(s) will
be allowed to register for up to 4 credits more than the maximum allowable limit for subsequent semesters
which are conducted with students back on campus. The number of such on-campus semesters where the
relaxation of maximum credit registration limit can be availed will be less than or equal to the number of
online semesters in which registration less than the lower registration limit for a normal semester was actually
availed. While registering or not registering for a core course during an online semester, the student must
consider the frequency of offering of that course (as the latter may not change).
37
f. Waiver of overall two units of NGU is to be given to all UG students. This waiver is irrespective of the NGU
category. However, at least 1 NG Unit has to be earned in each category. This is the total waiver for all the
Semesters with online teaching, and is not per Semester.
g. As the Covid outbreak and subsequent impact of academics in all institutions, including IIT Delhi, is an
evolving situation, the above provisions (6.3 a-f) may be reviewed at any time by the Senate, and any revised
provisions that the Senate wishes to put in place will be applicable to all currently registered students of IIT
Delhi.
6.4 Special Provisions on Continuation/Termination of Registration and Assistantships

for the Semesters Conducted Online
a. In the criteria for continuation/termination, probation, continuation of assistantship/scholarships, etc., the
CGPA / SGPA part of the criteria will not be applicable for the semesters conducted online.
b. There is no change in the minimum earned credits for any of these criteria except that the clause for student on
probation will remain suspended for semesters conducted partly or completely in online mode. For example,
there will not be any change in the Restart/Termination criteria applicable to UG students at the end of First
Year as it is based entirely on the earned credits.
c. A student may opt to withdraw from online semesters on grounds that it is not possible to cope up with the
online teaching and these withdrawals will not count towards the maximum number of withdrawals or maximum
number of semesters allowed for the programme. The last date for application of withdrawal must be before
the first day of Major examination/evaluation of the semester. This criterion is only for the continuing students
and is not applicable to UG students who are currently in their first year.
d. As the Covid outbreak and subsequent impact of academics in all institutions, including IIT Delhi, is an
evolving situation, the above provisions (6.4 a-f) may be reviewed at any time by the Senate, and any revised
provisions that the Senate wishes to put in place will be applicable to all currently registered students of IIT
Delhi.

8. CAPABILITY-LINKED OPTIONS FOR
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
As described in Section 4.8, students with CGPA higher than 7.0 and / or earned credits higher than 20 per semester
are eligible to register for additional credits towards the following Capability-linked options. They can make use of
these additional credits in two blocks of 20 credits to opt for
(a) Minor/Interdisciplinary Area Specialization
(b) Departmental Specialization
A student based on his/her performance and interest can choose either one on both. Successful completion of
minor area credits and / or Interdisciplinary / Departmental Specialization will be indicated on the degree.
When a student opts for such a specialization and / or a minor area, he / she can use 10 open category (OC) credits
(mandatory degree requirement) towards the specialization and/or minor area requirements. For example, a student
registered for B.Tech (Chemical Engg.) and opting for minor area in Computer Science, can opt for courses prescribed
for the minor area, as part of mandatory 10 credits requirements under OC. He/she will need to do additional 10
credits for completing the Minor area requirements.
A set of pre-defined courses of total 20 credits in a focus area comprises a Departmental Specialization if the
courses belong to the parent Department of an undergraduate programme, or a Minor / Interdisciplinary Area
Specialization if the courses belong to a different Department / Centre / School. Additional conditions and details
are given in this section.
If any course of a Minor / Interdisciplinary area overlaps with any core course (DC or PC category courses) or elective
course (DE or PE category courses) of the student’s programme, then credits from this course will not count towards
the minor area credit requirements, though this course may contribute towards satisfying the requirement of the
Minor / Interdisciplinary area. In such a case, the requirement of 20 credits must be completed by taking other courses
of the Minor Area or Departmental / Interdisciplinary specialization. A student interested in opting for a Capability-
linked option can register for the same online, on a first-come first served basis, after he / she completes at least
2 courses, preferably the core courses (wherever applicable) of the Minor Area / Interdisciplinary / Departmental
Specialization being applied for.

9. NON-GRADED CORE FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
In order to synergize formal academics with informal outside-class-room learning experience, mechanisms for
earning non-graded units have been introduced in the undergraduate curriculum in 2013. In order to earn these
units, a student will need to involve himself/herself in activities beyond the classroom engagements. For earning 1
unit a student will typically need to work for 2-3 hours per week (28-42 hours per semester) in on-campus activities.
In case of project / design / internship activities, the student engagement expected is typically 20 man-days of work
per non-graded unit. A student would not be allowed to earn credits as well as non-graded units for the same
effort - it is important that the efforts towards earning non-graded units should be distinct from that spent on earning
credits. Also, the effort for earning different components of the non-graded units also should be distinct, i.e., the
same effort would not be evaluated for more than one non-graded activity.
Non-graded core of the undergraduate curriculum comprises the following components:
1. Introduction to Engineering & Programme : 01 units
2. Language and Writing Skills : 02 units
3. NCC / NSO / NSS : 02 units
4. Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility : 02 units
5. Communication Skills / Seminar : 01 units
6. Design / Practical Experience : 03 units
Total : 11 units
These 11 units form a compulsory graduation requirement for all the undergraduate (B.Tech. as well as Dual
degree) programmes. A student will need to earn these 11 units over the duration of the programme with special
consideration and requirements for each component as detailed in the following sections. Each component would
be constituted by one or more non-graded courses, and a student will need to get an ‘S’ grade in these courses
to earn the respective non-graded unit(s). Incomplete status in such courses will be indicated by a ‘Z’ grade. The
student would be required either to repeat the course / activity or continue with the project / internship until such time
that the evaluating faculty member / committee is satisfied with the effort to award an ‘S’ grade. No partial / fractional
units can be awarded. For example, if a particular activity carries 2 units, a student cannot be awarded 1 unit or
fractional units for incomplete work, but would need to repeat / complete the work to the satisfaction of the evaluating
faculty member / committee to become eligible for award of 2 units.
9.1 Introduction to Engineering and Programme

This non-graded component is aimed at orienting and exciting students in the subject of engineering in general
and their respective disciplines in particular. The objectives of the component are:
• Exposing students to “Engineering” as a profession that creates wealth for nations, and as a vehicle for
economic growth.
• Exposing students to Science/ Engineering as a medium through which one can address problems facing
the society including some of the grand challenges.
• Excite students by enabling them to appreciate the role and enormous impact of research in science/
engineering on our day to day lives.
• Enlighten students about the various career options available to them.
• Make students aware of the issues involved in engineering a product, and help them appreciate why
the process of design and innovation leading to products and systems is both personally satisfying and
professionally rewarding.
• Excite students about potential role models and successful alumni in engineering profession.
• Motivate students to take up some co-curricular activities on their own during their stay in the Institute.
The activities to realize the above-mentioned objectives as part of this non-graded component include:
• Understanding engineering through product dissection and reverse engineering. (The products given to
students to dissect could be physical in form or in the form of videos).
• Screening of videos that bring out the strong relation between science / engineering and societal needs.
• Conducting design and innovation contests among students.
• Solving science / engineering puzzles in the class.
• Lectures by successful industrialists, alumni and entrepreneurs about their journey.
88
• Exposure to successful research cases from the Institute and the impact of the same.
• Exposure to successful products / innovations from the Institute which have reached people/ industry/ society.
• Some interesting demonstrations in laboratories.
• Hands-on exercises in laboratories including use of breadboard circuits, Lego sets, robot kits, balsa
bridge engineering kits, fibre optics kits, mobile apps etc.
• Industry visits
• Visits to on-going exhibitions in the city
• Do-it-yourself projects in teams
• Lectures by faculty, visitors, alumni on some exciting topics.
This non-graded unit is administered in the form of two non-graded courses of one unit each:
(i) NIN100 Introduction to Engineering in the first semester of the undergraduate programme, and
(ii) XXN101 / XXN111 Introduction to <the respective engineering discipline> in the third semester.
Here, XX stands for the Course code prefix of the Department offering the undergraduate programme and <the
respective engineering discipline> stands for the name of the undergraduate programme to which the student
belongs. Table 9.1 lists the courses corresponding to the different undergraduate programmes:
Table 9.1 : List of Introduction to Engineering Courses Offered by Departments
S. No. Programme Code(s) Course Code Course Title
1 BB1 BBN101 Introduction to Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology
2 CE1 CVN101 Introduction to Civil Engineering
3 CH1, CH7 CLN101 Introduction to Chemical Engineering
4 CS1, CS5 CON101 Introduction to Computer Science and Engineering
5 EE1 ELN101 Introduction to Electrical Engineering
6 EE3 ELN111 Introduction to Electrical Engineering – Power and Automation
7 ME1 MCN101 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
8 ME2 MCN111 Introduction to Production and Industrial Engineering
9 MT1, MT6 MTN101 Introduction to Mathematics and Computing
10 PH1 PYN101 Introduction to Engineering Physics
11 TT1 TXN101 Introduction to Textile Technology
Course coordinator of NIN100 would be identified by the Dean Academics. For all the Departmental courses listed
in Table 9.1, the departments offering UG programmes would identify the course coordinators. It is necessary to
get a satisfactory (S) grade in both these courses for completing the degree requirements. Attendance would be
one of the main criteria for evaluation. Apart from this, active participation and quiz based evaluation etc. would
also be used as a basis to decide ‘S’ or ‘Z’ grade. The grades of NIN100 would be moderated by Dean Academics,
and those of the Departmental courses would be moderated in the respective Departments. In case a student is
awarded ‘Z’ grade he/she would need to repeat the course in the subsequent year(s).
9.2 Language and Writing Skills

All students, in the first two semesters, are required to undergo exercises designed to impart language skills-
enhancing their ability of listening comprehension, reading and writing in English. These exercises would be tailored
according to the background of the students. The English language ability of the students would be assessed through
a test to be conducted in the beginning, typically during their admission and orientation period. The students would
also be exposed to principles of English grammar and nuances of technical writing. Textual material and lectures
would focus on the relationship between Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences.
This component is also administered in the form of two courses, each of one unit: NLN100 Language and Writing
Skills–I in the first semester and NLN101 Language and Writing Skills–II in the second semester. Course coordinators
for these courses are identified by the Dean Academics in consultation with Head, Humanities and Social Sciences.
Assessment of a student towards S grade in each of these courses would typically be on the basis of attendance,
participation and performance in the exercises. A student could also be prescribed self learning exercises or additional
practice sessions during vacations as requirement for securing S grade. Student’s involvement, during regular semester,
would typically be two hours per week. The grades of these courses would be moderated by the Dean Academics.
89
9.3 NCC/ NSO/ NSS

A student is required to choose one of NCC/NSO/NSS by during his/her first semester, and complete the requirements
within the first four registered semesters. Students will be required to earn 2 non-graded units from one of these
activities, by completing 100 hours of work. The faculty coordinators of NCC / NSO / NSS decide and announce the
policies on earning non-graded units in these activities from time to time. A student must complete the 100 hours of
activities in one of these three options by the end of the fourth registered semester or the summer after the fourth
semester, failing which he/ she would not be allowed to register for the fifth semester.
9.4 Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility

There is increasing consensus worldwide that engineering ethics should be incorporated into the engineering
curriculum to provide students with an exposure to the kind of professional ethical dilemmas they might face on
an individual basis as well as in the larger context of ethical aspects of technology development. Workshops,
discussion/ debates, use of theatre-in-education, case-study based approaches, etc. are often used for illustration
and discussion of engineering ethics and such inputs could be provided in a stand-alone manner, integrated into
existing courses or both. The objective of this non-graded component is to sensitize students about Professional
Ethics and Social Responsibility (PESR) through a combination of the above-mentioned approaches, supplemented
by discussion fora and supplementary materials, to help students to become ethical professionals. A student
is required to complete this non-graded component in the first six registered semesters of the undergraduate
programme, through activities divided into four courses. The courses NEN100 and NEN101 together constitute
one non-graded unit and the course NEN300 along with one of the three alternatives NEN201 / NEN202 / NEN203
constitutes the second non-graded unit for PESR:
i) NEN100 Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility - I
ii) NEN101 Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility - II
iii) One of the following three courses:
a. NEN201 PESR Internships
b. NEN202 PESR Workshops
c. NEN203 PESR Projects
iv) NEN300 Case Studies in Professional Ethics
NEN100 and NEN101 are compulsory for all students, and these courses involve interactive sessions of a group
of about 20 students with a faculty mentor in the first and second semesters respectively. The student will earn
one unit by getting S grade in both these courses.
The second unit under PESR has two parts. For the first part, the students can choose to participate in any one
out of a large variety of activities relevant to the core themes of PESR. With the considerable amount of flexibility
allowed in the choice of activities, each student should be able to identify an activity of interest to him/ her under
the purview of PESR. These activities have been divided into three broad categories, viz., (a) PESR internships (b)
PESR workshops (c) PESR projects, each of which corresponds to a separate course number NEN201, NEN202
and NEN203 respectively. After a student has got S grades in NEN100 and NEN101, the student can register for
NEN201/202/203. The second part of this unit, Case Studies in Professional Ethics, is compulsory, and is offered
under the course number NEN300.
Under NEN201 PESR Internships, students can take up field work outside the Institute during summer/ winter
vacation with organizations within the country. These organizations could be NGOs or CSR units of corporate houses.
The students could also choose to work with organizations in their home towns. These internships must involve an
exposure to the life of communities through field work. Before going for an internship with such an organization,
the student will have to submit an online request to the Institute level PESR Committee, specifying the internship
duration, nature of work and other details and requirements, and take prior approval. The student will be able to get
an S grade in this course only if the student has attended the internship for at least the number of days specified in
Table 9.2 and has satisfied the requirements committed in the prior approval. A documentary proof of the same from
the organization should be submitted online by the student to the PESR Committee. No credit will be given to the
student if he/she attends the internship for less number of days than specified in the prior approval as per Table 9.2.
If a student gets selected in one of the nation building initiatives organized by reputed organizations (Examples:
Participating in Jagriti Yatra, working as a summer fellow with Rakshak foundation etc.) and successfully completes
the same, he/she would be considered to have completed the requirements under NEN201 and hence would be
awarded ‘S’ grade in the same. Even to exercise this option, it is mandatory that a prior approval of the PESR
committee should be sought online, and a documentary proof of completion of the activity should be submitted
online to the PESR committee, as specified above for internships.
90
Under NEN202 PESR Workshops, students can participate in one or more workshops of duration of 3-8 days,
approved by the PESR Committee and Dean Academics. These workshops would be organized on campus by a faculty
coordinator and would be conducted by resource persons from within or outside the Institute. These workshops could
be pertaining to any of the themes relevant to PESR and could be held during mid-semester break / summer / winter
vacation or even long weekends during the semester. The students must follow the procedure announced by the faculty
coordinator to register for the workshop. The S grade for attending a workshop will be awarded only if the student
attends all sessions of the workshop on all the days for its full duration. The faculty coordinator organizing the workshop
would submit a list of all such students to the PESR committee for award of S grade in NEN202 PESR Workshops.
Under NEN203 PESR Projects, the students can take up projects under the guidance of one or more faculty members
to make positive contribution to campus life. This could include promoting wholesome practices on campus such
as: ethical practices particularly among students through specially directed efforts; peer assistance for the students
in need of help academically or otherwise; sustainable practices on campus like resource conservation, waste
management, use of renewable resources and the like; working on technology for a social cause etc. This work
could be done during a semester or mid-semester break or summer / winter vacation. The student must submit a
project proposal online, with explicit statement of deliverables, through his / her faculty supervisor(s), for approval
by the PESR committee. If the work is taken up in a team, each student’s share of work must be defined in the
proposal. It is expected that each student puts in at least 50 person-hours of effort in the project. On completion
of the project, the students should submit a completion request online, again through the faculty supervisor, who
should certify that each student has completed his / her share of the deliverables and each student has put in at
least 50 person-hours of work into the project. The PESR Committee may also decide to evaluate the project by
additional means as deemed fit.
The work done under NEN201/ NEN202/ NEN203 would also be evaluated, the mechanism for which will be decided
by the PESR committee and notified to students accordingly .
If a student has a confirmed/ approved registration in an internship/ workshop or a project but does not turn up for
the same, he/ she can be penalized by the PESR committee with an increase in the number of PESR units to be
completed by the student for the degree requirements.
In NEN300, every student will work on at least two case studies related to professional ethics, followed by discussions
on the same, moderated by a faculty member. The details on how to select the case studies and the mode of discussions
and their evaluation would be decided by the PESR Committee from time to time and notified to the students.

9.5 Communication Skills / Seminar

The objective of this non-graded component is to provide the students with an opportunity to develop their skills
in preparing write-ups and / or making presentations, and reading / listening to others’ write-ups / presentations.
A student would be required to earn these non-graded units between their 5th and 8th semesters. This component
would be administered in two parts:
(i) A set of topic specific seminar courses (XXQ301, XXQ302, etc.) introduced by the parent Department
of each student (for example ELQ301 – Seminar on Embedded Systems – 1 unit). These courses
would be non-credit electives, offered in each semester. These seminar sessions would be held for
two hours per week. Many such courses could run in parallel. Students need to register for at least
one such course in his / her parent department for earning one unit.
(ii) Students should earn the remaining one unit through any one of the following means:
a. By registering and completing an additional seminar course (XYQ301, XYQ302 etc.) offered by
any other Department / Centre / School.
b. By participating in optional seminars which may be part of regular courses; for example regular
‘L’ courses can have an optional seminar component (e.g. ELL711 Optical Communications can
have optional seminar component of 1 unit). This would, like any other seminar course, need to
have seminar sessions of 2 hours duration every week for a whole semester. In such a case, a
student should register for XXQ30y, and the course coordinator would send recommendations for
‘S’ grades to the Dean Academics, duly moderated by the Moderation Committee of the concerned
Department / Centre / School.
c. By participating in special workshops on Communication Skills approved by Dean Academics.
The faculty coordinator in charge of the workshop would submit a list of students who completed
the activity with 100% attendance in all sessions on all days of the workshop for award of S grade
in NQN301.
d. By submitting documentary evidence of excellence in debating and/or writing as certified by faculty
in-charge of these activities, to the Dean Academics. In all such cases, the student should submit
documentary evidence online, as detailed below.
• A student who wins first, second or third position in any event / competition conducted
at inter-hostel level, by BRCA or by BSP or by BSW would qualify for this option. The
event / competition must be either a debate / declamation / extempore. Since many such events
do not have certificates issued, the student must submit a letter signed by the warden or the
president of the respective board (in case of BRCA, president of the club would also suffice)
stating the date, time, venue of the event / competition along with the number of participants
and position secured. In case number of participants is less than 20, the event shall not
be counted.
• A student who performs as a compere for any of the Institute functions (only those listed in
the Institute calendar). The student will need to produce a signed letter from the faculty in-
charge of the Institute function stating the student’s role as compere. The letter must include
the date, time, venue and duration of the event. Any event lasting less than 1 hour will not
be counted.
• A student winning a technical paper presentation award during TRYST will need to submit
a copy of the certificate and the abstract of the paper presented. Technical publications in
Journals or Conferences would also be considered, provided (i) the number of authors of
the paper does not exceed 2 and (ii) the faculty member supervising the work certifies that
the paper was written by the concerned student.
A minimum of three such documents certified by the Faculty in charge of the Board / Club / Activity as mentioned above
would qualify a student to earn one unit of Communication Skills / Seminar. In each case, before recommending
the award of non-graded units for the above activities, the Faculty in charge of the Board / Club / Activity should
keep in mind that a student engagement / effort (including preparations and the actual event) of 28-42 hours
would be necessary for the award of one non-graded unit.
93
In cases of options (i), (ii) a and (ii) b above, the faculty member in charge of the course should ensure that the
student has 100% attendance in the seminars, and has done a satisfactory task of his / her contribution to the
course: the write-up, presentation, etc. before awarding an ‘S’ grade. These grades would be moderated by the
respective Department / Centre / School. In case of unavoidable absence of up to 3 seminar sessions, appropriate
compensation mechanism should be announced by the faculty member at the beginning of the course. For
absence beyond 3 sessions, S graded cannot be awarded.
An Institute level Committee for Communication Skills / Seminar would be appointed by the Dean Academics.
The convener of this committee would serve as the course coordinator of NQN301. This committee would
moderate the non-graded units for Communication Skills / Seminar recommended for activities other than the
courses XXQ30y.
A student needs to secure an S grade in both parts of the communication skills / seminar non-graded component
to complete graduation requirements.
9.6 Design / Practical Experience

The objective of this non-graded component is to give opportunities to students to learn in an informal setting.
This mode of learning, is often more effective than conventional lectures / laboratory work. Second and even
more important objective of this non-graded component is to inculcate design thinking among students and
facilitate them to gain some design immersion experience. Design / Practical Experience (DPE) component can
promote learning by doing which does two important things: Firstly, it allows students to immerse themselves
in the environment in which work is to be done, so that they can understand the values and expectations of the
target beneficiaries. Secondly it enables a fresh look at problems, not only at the ways of defining them, but
also at the ways to solve those including skill-sets that are required to address them. A shift from problem based
learning (acquisition of knowledge) to project based learning (application of knowledge), in which the projects
are grounded in problems outside the classrooms and laboratories, in everyday scenarios. Thus, DPE bridges
division between the curricular and the co-curricular components, and encourages the curiosity and involvement
that arises from total absorption in a subject of interest.
As a part of this requirement, every student is expected to earn a minimum of five non-graded units of DPE to
complete the degree requirements. To earn one unit of DPE, a student is expected to put in 28-42 hours of
effort or 20 working days depending on the type of activity. These units can be earned in multiple ways during
the semester as well as during vacation and mid-semester breaks:
• Courses with design focus without any regular graded credits, which are designated to give design/
practical experience units.
• Courses (core or elective) with optional design / practical experience component.
• Summer/semester internships by students in R&D / Industry / Universities in India or abroad.
• Summer / winter / semester projects under the guidance of faculty of the Institute.
• Participation in design / innovation projects by Innovation Center / CAIC, etc.
• One time activity such as design / practical experience workshop / course / event during semester /
vacation / mid-semester breaks, etc.
DPE activities are not restricted to design of physical products but can also include system level design and
experience. For example a team of students who under the supervision of faculty in collaboration with an NGO,
would like to design a new financial inclusion system for marginalized section of population too can earn design/
practical experience units.
The operational modalities of implementing the above-mentioned activities so that students can earn the required
non-graded units, are presented in the following paragraphs.
9.6.1 Management of Non-graded DPE Units

Each Department offering UG programme(s) would constitute a DPE Committee with a Departmental DPE
Coordinator to manage the non-graded Design / Practical Experience units.
a) The Departmental DPE Committee would coordinate with T&P Unit to identify and vet industries for
internships.
94
b) The committee would also examine other types of internship (in Universities, research laboratories,
start-ups etc.) requested by students and approve or deny as per a policy defined by the Department.
c) Students of the Department desirous of earning non-graded DPE units through any other mechanism
listed above should request permission of this committee before embarking on the activity. The
committee would also decide on the award of non-graded DPE units for all such activities for the
students of the Department through appropriate evaluation mechanisms.
d) The committee would be responsible to evaluate the design activities carried out by the students during
internships and recommending award of the non-graded DPE units, or continuation of the internship
activity for more days to become eligible for the units, as per the efforts of the students during the
internship. DPE Committee will moderate all Design units awarded to students of that Department. The
Departmental DPE Coordinator also has responsibility of ensuring that units earned by heterogeneous
activities meet the requirements in terms of learning efforts and experience.
e) The Dean Academics will appoint an Institute DPE Coordinator for Design / Practical Experience
units.
f) Departmental DPE Coordinators, Institute DPE Coordinator and Associate Dean Academics-Curriculum
together will form an institute level committee to moderate the non-graded units awarded under
interdisciplinary work including the activities carried out by students in Departments / Centers / Schools
not offering UG programmes. This committee would also review and modify policies as well as modalities
administering DPE units.
9.6.2 Activities Covered Under Design / Practical Experience
9.6.2.1 Specialized Courses Related to Design / Practical Experience (Maximum 2 Units)

Departments/Centres/Schools may offer a basket of courses that will not have any credits associated with them
but will have only Design / Practical Experience units linked to them. In other words, on successful completion of
such courses the students will earn only DPE units but no graded credits. These courses offered by Departments/
Centers/Schools can be of one unit (28-42 hours of student effort) or two units (56-84 hours of student effort).
Faculty offering these courses will award these units on successful completion of the course requirements,
and the same would be moderated by the Departmental Committee for DPE in case of Departments offering
undergraduate programmes. For other Departments / Centres / Schools, the moderation would be done by the
Institute level DPE committee.
9.6.2.2 Semester / Summer / Winter Projects Under the Guidance of Institute Faculty (Maximum 2 Units)
Some of the co-curricular activities in the Institute that pertain to team based product building such as Robotics,
Automobile, IGEM, Aero-modelling etc. can also be considered for earning DPE units. Students who successfully
complete SURA / DISA projects related to design / practical experience will also be eligible for DPE units.
Besides, students may also opt for working on semester / summer / winter projects involving design/practical
experience activity under the guidance of faculty of the institute. In order to be evaluated for DPE Units in such
cases, a student should register for XXD35y Minor Design Project floated by the parent Department XX of the
student. In case the project is interdisciplinary or it is offered by faculty of other Departments / Centres / Schools,
the faculty supervisor of the project may advise the students to register for NDN35y Minor Design Project. In
either case, the project would be evaluated by the faculty supervisor. For award of DPE units, XXD35y would
be moderated by the Departmental Committee for DPE while NDN35y would be moderated by the Institute
level DPE committee.
The courses XXD351 – XXD355 would be Minor Design Projects with 1 non-graded DPE unit, and XXD356 –
XXD358 would be Minor Design Projects with 2 non-graded units each. Courses NDN351 – 358 would also
follow a similar definition.
9.6.2.3 Regular Courses with Optional Design / Practical Experience Component (Maximum 2 Units)
Course coordinators of regular core and elective courses can also offer optional design component in their
courses. A proposal for this should be sent to the Departmental DPE committee prior to the commencement of the
course by the Course Coordinator. This would be notified to students by the Departmental DPE committee and
95
also announced to the students by the course coordinator. Successful completion of the course will give graded
credits to students and at the same time they will be eligible for earning (1 or 2) design units if they successfully
complete the optional DPE component. The course coordinator will recommend these DPE units on successful
completion of the assigned work. This would be moderated by the Departmental Committee for DPE. In case
the course is offered by Departments / Centres / Schools which do not offer a UG programme, the notification prior
to beginning of the course and moderation after the end of the course would be done by the Institute level DPE
committee. In order to be evaluated for DPE Units, a student should register for XXD35y Minor Design Project
or NDN35y Minor Design Project as the case may be.
9.6.2.4 Summer Internships (2 Units)

Students can undertake a minimum of 40 working days of internship to earn two design practical experience
units during summer vacations in Industry, R&D institutions or Universities in India or abroad. This would be
administered by the Departmental Committee for DPE with the help of the Office of Carrer Services (OCSs). The
Departmental DPE Committee would also be responsible for appointing a faculty supervisor for the internship.
Students can proceed with the internship after the Departmental Committee for DPE approves the same. Design
units for the internship would be awarded by the Departmental Committee after evaluation at the end of internship
period. Rules governing administration of internships are given in section 9.6.3. In case an internship pertains
to areas of expertise outside those of the parent Department, the DPE Committee may co-opt faculty members
from other Departments / Centres / Schools for evaluating / supervising such internships.
9.6.2.5 One-Semester Internship (Maximum 5 Units)

Students can opt for one semester internship in Industry, R&D institutions or Universities in India or abroad, for
a minimum of 100 working days, by appropriately planning for completion of credit requirements for the degree.
The student can also opt for a break in coursework for a semester to initiate or work for his / her start up. These
are the only two activities upon successful completion of which students would be eligible for 5 DPE units. It is
mandatory that student’s work during the one-semester internship is supervised by two mentors, one from the
institute (appointed by the DPE Committee of the student’s Department) and another from the host organization.
In case of semester break for a start up, students will work under the mentorship of a faculty member of the
Institute. Students desiring to opt for one semester internship or semester break for start-up as mentioned above
are required to plan well in advance and submit a project proposal in consultation with their supervisors (in case
of internship) or faculty mentor (in case of start-ups). Students can proceed with the internship / startup activity
only after the Departmental Committee for DPE approves the same. DPE units for the activity would be awarded
by the Departmental DPE Committee after evaluation at the end of the internship / startup period. In case an
internship / startup pertains to areas of expertise outside those of the parent Department, the DPE Committee
may co-opt faculty members from other Departments / Centres / Schools for evaluating / supervising such activities.
Details of the procedure are given in section 9.6.3 on internships.
A semester in which a student earns DPE units through semester-long internship or start-up as discussed above
would be counted as a registered semester for graduation requirements. In case the DPE committee does not
approve the award of 5 units for such activity, the semester would not be counted as a registered semester.
9.6.2.6. One Time Design / Practical Experience Module (1 Unit)

One time DPE modules can be offered by Institute faculty as well as working professionals who would like to
engage students in a workshop / course related to design / practical experience. A proposal for such a module
should be sent by faculty member coordinating the course through the concerned Department / Centre / School
to the Institute DPE Committee for approval. These modules can be typically of 28-42 hours duration, and
may be offered during mid-semester breaks, winter/summer vacations and even during non-class hours
during the semester.
Table 9.3 summarizes the information presented in section 9.6.2. Detailed rules pertaining to internships and
their administration are given in section 9.6.3.

• A student cannot register for more than 3 non-graded DPE units per summer semester or per registered
semester in which a student is on regular academic activity. To take part in activities that can result in more
than 3 DPE units, a student has to take the semester off from regular courses.
• A single activity cannot be evaluated for more than one purpose. For example, the same project cannot
be submitted for graded credits as well as for design units.
9.6.3 Rules Governing Internship

i) Internships for DPE units are permitted only in one of the two following formats:
a. Summer internship of 40 days duration, in which a student can earn 2 DPE units.
b. Semester-long internship of 100 days duration, in which a student can earn 5 DPE units.
No other format of internship would be considered for the award of DPE units. DPE units would be
awarded only if training for the stipulated number of working days, as mentioned above, is completed
to the satisfaction of the concerned Departmental DPE Committee. DPE units would not be awarded
against partial completion of the internship duration.
ii) A student can choose from one of the following options in order to complete the Non-Graded component
of Design / Practical Experience:
a. One semester internship, accounting for 5 DPE units.
b. One summer internship, accounting for 2 DPE units and 3 DPE units from other activities at the Institute
c. Two summer internships, accounting for a total of 4 DPE units, and 1 DPE unit from other activities
at the Institute
d. One summer internship accounting for 2 DPE units and one semester internship, accounting for 5
DPE units.
e. No internships: all DPE units can be earned through design / project activities at the Institute
iii) A student can do at most two internships for DPE units, during his/her stay at the Institute. If any student
does more than two internships, DPE units will be awarded for the first two registered internships only.
iv) Summer internships are allowed in the summer after the 4th registered semester of the student or later.
Semester Internships are permitted from the seventh registered semester or later.
98
v) Internships are permitted in industry, research laboratories or academic institutions involved in research,
development and/or technology transfer. Any student opting for semester long internship may also be
allowed to work on a start-up. All internships must be approved by the departmental DPE committee in
advance. In the case of non-industry internships, the work should be research / development / practice
oriented, and not classroom course work.
vi) In all cases, for award of DPE units, after completion of the internship, the work must be evaluated by
the DPE committee of the student’s Department. In case the work is found wanting in any respect, the
student(s) will be advised to do more work and reappear before the committee. In any case, partial award
of DPE units would not be allowed.
vii) Both for self-arranged internships and for internships arranged through T&P Unit, administration and
correspondence would be handled by the Training and Placement Unit. For self-arranged internships,
any documentation regarding the bona fide status of students (while applying for training) will be provided
by UG section. T&P Unit will process the internship case of the student once the student submits all
departmental approvals and the confirmed offer letter from the company to T&P.
9.6.3.1 Registration Procedure for Internships

Summer Internships:
i) At the beginning of first semester of each academic year, the data of all students who have earned at
least 30 credits would be automatically enrolled by the T&P unit for internship in the subsequent summer.
ii) At the beginning of the internship in the following summer, the student must have completed 50 credits
to be eligible.
iii) T&P unit would allow the students to opt out of the process for allocation of internships until a specified
deadline, if a student would like to try for self-arranged internship.
iv) Students who do not opt out of the process are considered for allocation of internship by the T&P unit.
If a student is selected for an internship through T&P, he/she is bound to accept the internship. If the
student does not take up or complete the internship, he/she will be debarred from all further T&P activities
including further internship opportunities and placement procedure. This is to discourage non-serious
students from depriving other students of the opportunity, and damaging the reputation of IIT Delhi with
the companies offering internships through T&P.
v) The T&P Unit would handle correspondences and training certificates of all internships, both self-arranged
and those arranged by the T&P unit.
vi) T&P Unit will try and arrange internships for as many students as it can. However, it may not be possible
for the T&P Unit to arrange internships for all the students who participate in the process.
vii) The T&P unit typically starts the process of selections for internships in August and ends in February-
March. The exact dates would be notified by the T&P unit each year.
viii) T&P unit would also notify students about the deadlines to submit documents related to self-arranged
internship. Only those students who submit relevant papers by this deadline will be considered for the
internship.
ix) At the end of the process, T&P will send a list of students whose internships are to be approved, to
the respective departments. The internship coordinators of the department will then enroll the students
on the online portal for non-graded units, in one of the two courses XXT200 or XXT300. A student will
be enrolled in XXT200 if it is his/her first summer internship. Otherwise the student will be enrolled in
XXT300.
Semester Internship:
i) Semester internship, as mentioned in section 9.6.2.5, is permitted in the seventh registered semester
or later, for students with at least 75 earned credits.
ii) A student needs to submit an online request for prior approval of semester internship. The request for
internship will evaluated by the DPE committee of the student’s parent Department and approved by
the Institute DPE committee upon recommendation of the former.
iii) Process of monitoring / mentoring the internship is described in section 9.6.2.5. Upon completion, the
student should submit an online request for approval of the completion of the internship through the
supervisor and Departmental DPE committee to the Institute DPE committee. The grade for semester
internship is awarded by the Institute DPE committee.

would be TXL351.
9.7 Overlapping Activities

Many of the activities listed in sections 9.1-9.6 could also qualify as valid activities under other non-graded
components: for example, an internship under NEN201 may qualify to be a valid NSS activity; a technical project
done as part of NEN203 may qualify to be submitted for DPE units under XXD35y, etc. Some of the technical
projects may also qualify as valid activities under Minor/ Mini/ Major projects towards earning graded credits. In
this regard, the following would be strictly followed:
a) In case a project is evaluated for graded credits or for any other non-graded activity, it would not be
allowed to be re-submitted for any other non-graded unit. While submitting the completion request of
the project online, a student should submit an undertaking to this effect, approved online by the faculty
supervisor of the project.
b) Additional work which is not evaluated for such projects, either done prior to such projects or done after
the completion of such projects, could be considered. In such a case, prior written permission must be
taken from the concerned committee (PESR, DPE, etc.), explicitly describing components of work being
submitted for the other graded / non-graded evaluations and for the current submission separately. In
this regard, note the following examples:
(i) The workshops organised by NSS and under NEN202 would be generally distinct. Under NEN202,
workshops would have minimum duration of 3 days and would be designated as “PESR WORKSHOP”.
Workshops organized by NSS would not be counted for NEN202 and vice-versa.
(ii) In case a student desires to do internship as part of NSS activities as well as under PESR through
NEN201, each of these internships must have distinct time spans and special approvals of the PESR
Committee and the NSS Coordinator are required for the same.
