 Self-instructional Course Material
Distance education simply means imparting education
from a distance. In this system of education the teacher
and the student are physically separated. The salient
features of instruction in distance education include the
following : Students are supplied with printed material
written in a self-instructional mode (SIM). Course
Material is specially designed by a team of experts from
industries, Faculty from leading Technical Institutions
New Bio-Science Block
and in-house Faculty of the University. The designed
Curriculum is subjected to strict scrutiny by the Content
Experts and experienced Professors before adoption by
the University.

Academic Counselling
Counselling is an important activity in distance
education. It is totally different from conventional
classroom teaching. Counsellors at Study Centres answer
the students’ questions in these sessions besides clarifying
Museum Buildings
their doubts and help them overcome difficulties which
they may face while going through the text. These
Counselling Sessions also give students an opportunity
to interact with other students.

Assignments
Assignments are an integral component of distance
education. Assignments serve the purpose of evaluation
of the student’s comprehension of the subjects. The
local Counsellors of the Study Centres evaluate these
assignments & also provide feedback on the student’s
performance. A copy of the evaluated assignments will
be shown to the student by the Co-ordinator as part of
the learning activity.

Practicals
Depending upon the subject, an optimum amount of
Practicals in the form of Computer Laboratory training
is also imparted to students at the Study Centres under
the supervision of qualified faculty.

Project Report
The student must also prepare a Project Report as part
of the Curriculum requirements of B.Sc.(ITIM) courses
and submit the same at the end of the final Semester
for assessment and evaluation.

6
Support Services through Study Centres
Study Centres are being set up across the country to provide the
students with a platform to interact with Counsellors and other
students and also for Practical Laboratory instruction and for use
of the Library. Students would be getting personal attention and
guidance at these Centres in addition to hands-on training on
computers while doing practicals at their Study Centres.
Programme Delivery
A multi-form of instruction has been adopted, comprising of :
a) Study Material : Study material for all subjects are supplied
in the form of Printed Books.
b) Counselling Sessions : Will be held at Study Centres to A Pathway in the Campus

suit the convenience of the students, which are generally

planned during weekends.
c) Practical Sessions : Will also be held at the Study Centres.
A set of Practical Exercises are given to students through
the Study Centres to work upon.
d) Theory Assignments : For assessment, evaluation and
for feed-back on comprehension of study material. Computer Science Building
A set of two Official Assignments for each subject is given
to students through the Study Centres.
e) Project Work : To enable the student of B.Sc.(ITIM) course
to gain an insight to independent working on a practical
Project.
Credit System
The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for B.Sc.(ITIM). Each
Credit entails approximately 30 hours of study comprising of
all activities. Thus, a 3-Credit course involves 90 study hours
comprising of all activities. This helps the student to understand
the academic effort he/she has to put in suitably to complete the
course.
The Grade System
For each Subject and Semester, Grade System as given in the
table below is adopted for declaration of results.

Class Grade Qualitative Marks

Awarded Awarded Level Range
Distinction A Excellent 75% or more

the University/UET, from time to time.
Practicals
Considerable importance is given to hands-on training
on practicals in this programme. A set of practical
exercises for subjects which need laboratory work are
available at the Study Centres as also on the Website.
Students need to do these practical exercises under
the guidance of their Study Centre faculty. The
Internal Assessment for Practicals will be through
two tests conducted at the Study Centre for each
