VC’s Welcome Note
My dear students,

Hope all is well with you!

I feel immensely happy to welcome you to Tezpur University. This prestigious institution of higher learning
came into existence on 21 January 1994 by a special Act of parliament of India. It is a unitary university with a
residential campus. The University has been committed to higher learning and research since its inception.

Spread over a lush green sprawling campus of 262 acres, the University provides an excellent ambience for the
pursuit of research and education. The University is currently offering 76 academic programmes (UG, PG, Ph.D.,
Certificate & Diploma programmes) through 27 departments under 4 important Schools: Engineering, Humanities
& Social Sciences, Management, and Sciences. In addition to this the University offers 7 programmes in open
and distance mode under its Centre for Distance and Online Education. The academic programmes offered in
the University have a distinct focus on Science, Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences, reflecting the very
purpose and mandate of the University.

In addition to the state-of-the-art laboratories in the Departments the University has a Sophisticated and
Analytical Instrumentation Centre (SAIC) housing a number of high end instruments. The Central Library is a
knowledge repository and a learning centre with more than 1,12,888 documents comprising books, theses,
journals/e-journals, conference proceedings, CDs, along with latest academic softwares. The Library is fully
automated and is equipped with RFID system.

The student community at the University is quite vibrant with students coming in from different parts of the
country. There is student representation from several foreign countries such as Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia,
Lesotho, Madagascar, Syria, Tanzania and Thailand. There are 6 hostels for men and 8 hostels for women, out
of which two hostels are exclusive for PhD students and scholars. The diversity among students and the various
co-curricular programmes dotting the year contributes to a spirit of camaraderie. The University takes good care
of the students by providing hostel, sports, gymnasium, and other essential facilities. Special care is taken to
cultivate the minds of the students through various healthy practices. Tezpur University has been consistently
winning accolades at the regional and national events every year.

Admission to various programmes in the University is through national level tests like CUET, JEE, GATE, CEED,
GAT-B, CAT, MAT, NET/JRF and TUEE-2023. Students under various schemes of Govt. of India like ICCR, Direct
Admission of students Abroad (DASA), Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSS), QIP and ADF (AICTE).
are also admitted in the University. The talent & quality of the students can be gauged from the fact that the
University students have been awarded the prestigious Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI) Awards
four times (2017, 2018, 2019 & 2021) for their innovative ideas.

Our faculty members are equipped with respective domain competencies and quite capable of providing both
knowledge and skill-based education. They have brought many laurels to the University. To name a few, 7 faculty members of the University have
featured in the list of the world’s top 2% scientists prepared by a team of scientists at Stanford University, USA in 2020; the prestigious Visitor’s Awards
in research category in 2017 and in 2018; Visitor’s Award for Technology Development in 2020. Four faculty members are already Fellows of the Royal
Society of Chemistry (FRSC).

Tezpur University is working towards integrating the various aspects of NEP 2020 in its true nature and spirit. It has an academic architecture integrating
processes aligned to the recommendations of NEP 2020. The University has already introduced the provision of lateral Entry in B.Tech programme,
lateral exit in Integrated MA/M.Com/M.Sc programme and credit transfer system. Skill component is incorporated with the general education for each of
the UG and PG programmes.

University has registered for Academic Bank of Credit through the Digi-locker NAD platform, for the effective implementation of NEP. Credits of the
course work earned by the PhD students in other Universities/Institutions such as JNU, NEHU, NIT Silchar, Dibrugarh University, IUCAA and IIT Bombay,
who joined this University are transferred and the students have been exempted from course work in the University.

To catalyse multidisciplinary research, the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research (CMDR) has been established in 2021 in the University to provide
a platform to address societal problems through a multidisciplinary approach with focus in research areas relevant to 21st century, (viz. Big data
analytics, AI, disease biology and human health, food processing, nutrition, clean energy, and climate change).

With the introduction of the Learning Outcome Based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) by the UGC, actions have been taken to transform the curriculum
towards Outcome Based Assessment (OBA). The departments have developed Course Outcomes (COs) for the courses under various programmes which
were mapped to Programme Outcomes (POs) and Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs) of the programme.

With its transparent, participatory, and inclusive governance, Tezpur University has created a distinctively conducive environment leading to impressive
achievements and awards, such as Visitor’s Best University in 2016, THE Asian University Rankings 301-350 in 2021, NIRF Ranking 73 (overall) in 2021, QS
Asia University Rankings 281-290 in 2023 and THE World University Ranking 1001-1200 in 2023.

Our system is designed to meet the aspirations of the new generation and at the same time; we continue to embrace values of inclusivity, tolerance,
equality, and diversity. The prospectus provides detailed information on our programmes, fee structure, general rules, and eligibility criteria.

Looking forward to meeting you all,

With best wishes,

4. Studying at Tezpur University
 The University prepares a detailed academic calendar at the beginning of every academic year and all activities are carried out by strictly adhering to
the calender. Each academic programme of the University is comprised of a set of courses, some of which are core and others are elective. There are two
types of elective courses - (1) Discipline specific electives (DSE) offered by the Department which are specific to the programme; and (2) Generic or open
electives which are to be chosen by the students of other Departments.
The University follows the choice-based system of UGC for all programmes except for engineering which follows AICTE model. The courses across the
Departments are designed in such a way that multiple teaching pedagogies can be incorporated in delivering the contents.
The medium of instruction and examination at all the levels in the University is English, except for courses on languages such as Hindi, Assamese,
Chinese, German, etc. In framing the courses, care is taken so that students are NOT burdened with formal lectures only. There is adequate provision for
seminars, tutorials, case studies, guided field work, etc., whatever necessary, to promote the habit of independent thinking and to relate theoretical
knowledge to the practical field
Group Discussion is also used as a teaching pedagogy to increase the analytical capability and creativity of the students.

Important Academic Rules

Evaluation System
Students are evaluated through a rel- ative grading system. The University follows a continuous
comprehensive evaluation system, under which a student is evaluated through several tests and assignments
spread over the entire semester. As a rule, in a semester there are two major tests (Mid-term and End-term)
apart from two class tests held at regular in- terval of teaching-learning process. Finally, a Letter Grade is
awarded against each course on the basis of these assessment components.
A Letter Grade signifies the level of standard of qualitative/ quantitative academic achievement, which a
student attains in a particular course/research work. Each of the Letter Grades represents a Grade Point as given
in Table 1.

X Extended Project A project work remains incomplete, and it is extended to the next semester.
S Satisfactory Successful completion of a Foundation/ Audit Course.
U Unsatisfactory Unsuccessful in completing a Foundation/ Audit Course.
The student withdraws the course after the last date for withdrawal of courses. Deficit in attendance shall also be
W Withdrawn
awarded with W.
If a provisionally selected candidate fails to produce the marksheet of the qualifying examination at the time of admis- sion, the seat will be offered to the
next eligible candidate from the merit list.

Course Registration
A student needs to register for some courses/ research work(s) in each semester through a prescribed Registration Card. The course adviser appointed by
the Head of a Department/Centre assists the students in selecting courses for a semester. The Registration Card contains four copies: one each for the
Academic Section, Department, Hostel Warden, and the student.

Attendance Policy
All students must attend every lecture, tutorial and practical classes of each course registered by them. To account for late registration, sickness or such other
contingencies, the minimum attendance requirement will be 75% of the classes. Students with shortage in attendance in a course will not be allowed to
appear in the semester end examination and they will be awarded ‘W’ (withdrawn) grade in the course.

Renewal of Admission
Every student will renew his/her admission in all the successive semesters on the notified dates. On specific reasons, students may be allowed to take
admission within one week of the notified date with a late fee.

Requirement for the Award of Degree/Diploma/ Certificate

A student shall be required to satisfy the following conditions for the award of Degree/ Diploma/Certificate:
ƒƒ To obtain a qualifying Grade in each of the registered courses.
ƒƒ To earn the minimum credit required for the award of Degree/Diploma/Certificate within the prescribed maximum duration of the programme
(maximum credit load allowed per semester is 25).
ƒƒ To secure a minimum CGPA of 4.5.

Termination of Candidature or Withdrawal of Awarded Degree/ Diploma/ Certificate 119

The candidature of a student in a programme may be terminated at any stage. Even an already awarded Degree/Diploma/Certificate may be withdrawn,
 under various circumstances, such as:
ƒƒ Failing to complete successfully all the components of the programme within the maximum period of completion specified for the programme.
ƒƒ Establishment of deliberate suppression of any previous fact in the application form or at the time of admission, which may determine the eligibility for admission.
ƒƒ Production/submission of any false/tempered document at the time of application/ admission.
ƒƒ Serious violation of any clause of the Regulations on Maintenance of Discipline and Hostel Rules prescribed by the University.
ƒƒ Indulging in ragging inside or outside the University campus is strictly prohibited and students found indulged in ragging may lead to rustication from the
University. Students are advised to visit www.ugc.ac.in or www.tezu.ernet.in for UGC Regulations on curbing the menace of ragging in Higher Educational
Institutions, 2009.

A
s enshrined in the Tezpur University Act. 1993, one of the objectives of the University is to educate and train manpower in an equal learning space.
In line with the spirit of this objective, the Centre for Inclusive Development was established in 2013. The prime objective of the Centre is to play
a catalytic role in uplifting the needy and underprivileged students at the university, particularly, in the academic, intellectual and employability
spheres, through education, training & engagement and counselling. In pursuance of this, the Centre proactively makes all out efforts to identify areas
requiring intervention and takes appropriate measures for improvement through special remedial programmes such as need-based training, remedial
classes and employability enhancing programmes.
The Centre also offers academic programmes with the objective of making meaningful contributions to the society by developing professional
human resource in relevant areas. At present, the thrust area of academic programme is Child Rights and Governance. The current programme is
designed in consonance with the belief that the university as an institution of higher education must endeavour to protect and strengthen the lives of
our future citizens, i.e., the children. The Centre also envisions to engage with the issues pertaining to development of the marginalized section of the
society, particularly in the north-east India, in future.

 Centre For Multidisciplinary Research
(Year of Establishment: 2020)

M
ultidisciplinary has been a unique feature of educational programmes offered by Tezpur University since the beginning. This feature was further
strengthened with the introduction of open electives/ CBCS (Choice based credit system). The courses of discipline-specific programmes are
designed integrating courses of several other disciplines covering STEM, Humanities, and Social sciences. Similarly, the research carried out
as per academic requirements (viz., PhD, PG and UG) also integrates disciplines other than parent disciplines. The majority of the externally funded
research projects are also multidisciplinary in nature, with the involvement of more than one Department. The Centres and Chairs of Tezpur University
are functioning with multidisciplinary set-up. A major chunk of research publications of Tezpur University has Multidisciplinary authorship.
With such a proven background, Tezpur University formally instituted the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research (CMDR) in the year 2020 to widen up
multidisciplinary education further. Centre offers courses for its PhD Scholars and also for PG students as Open Elective Course.
Indian Knowledge Systems Division of Ministry of Education (MoE) has awarded a Multidisciplinary IKS Centre titled ‘Exploring Knowledge on Medieval

Working with Employers

The Placement Cell works closely with students and recruiters to ensure that the students get connected with the right Organisations. The
cell creates and builds trust among the organization which we are working with, and they become regular recruiters of our University. To
make this tie-up more effective we use to send our students for internship in those organisations, promote industry visits and help them to
fill their experienced human resource requirements through our alumni.

Alumni Network
The alumni network of our University is one of the sources of internship and final placement opportunities for the students. Some of the
alumni brings their respective organisations for campus placement, share off campus opportunities for the students and also guide them
to get lucrative jobs and develop an illustrious career. The Alumni Association and the Alumni Cell use to organize alumni career guidance
programme to groom our present batch students.

TU Intellectual Property Rights Cell (TUIPR)

T
ezpur University Intellectual Property Rights Cell (TUIPR Cell) was established in 2009 with a vision to develop human resource in
the management of Intellectual Property Rights as an integral part of the innovation process and the innovation value chain in the
University. Large number of patents, copyright and industrial design applications have been filed and granted for the innovations
from Tezpur University. The Cell has organised several IPR awareness and faculty development programmes in the University Campus and
across the entire Northeastern region. The Cell is gradually building IPR consciousness in the region among different strata in the society.
In 2020, the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industries, Govt. of India
has awarded the prestigious IPR Chair to Tezpur University.
The DPIIT IPR Chair instituted at Tezpur University integrates Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) with the education process to enhance
the quality of thinking, propagate a culture of regard and respect for IPR and ensure speedy and accurate identification and protection
of innovations arising out of the research work carried out in the university. Also, it has focus on bridging the gaps between the industry
and the academia for technology sharing and mutual research. The cell has been constantly providing technical supports to the grassroot
workers associated with different GI products in the region. Facilitation of GI authorized user status to large number Muga silk farmers of
Assam is one of the major achievements of the cell. As the cell gains experience, it is also acting as a think tank on policy matters related to
IPR in India with special emphasis on issues relevant to the North-East Region.
It is a matter of pride that young researchers from our university have received the Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI)
Awards for fourth time. In the year, 2021, this prestigious award has been conferred for the innovative work on Battery less Electrochemical
Sensor for Quantification, Removal of Naringin and Determination of Maturity of Citrus Fruits. Similarly in 2019 “Integrated and automated 283
 set up for preparation and vending of panipuri” was awarded with this prestigious award. In 2018 “Novel Soil Conditioners” was awarded.
In 2017 “Smartphone based system for detection and measurement of chemical and biological species in liquids” was awarded. In
recognition to significant contribution in innovation and technology development, IPR Chair Professor, IPR Cell, Tezpur University has

Jubilee Celebration of Tezpur University and decadal existence of the IPR Cell, a special IPR workshop was conducted for school children
in Tezpur University campus on 1st October, 2018. The cell organizes patent search and drafting workshop annually in the campus for the
benefit of students and researchers. Recently, during 21st March, 2023, the Cell organized an advanced training programme for senior
police officials of Assam Police in Police Training Centre, Dergaon
During the years, the cell has kept the thrust on low number of “Authorised Users” for GIs of Assam. It has conducted many
brainstorming and industry-academia conclaves to provide solutions to technological demands through deliberations to various sectors.
