 FORWARD

To achieve the target of being a global leader in the field of Technical Education,
there is some sort of time bound urgency to work quickly, massively and strongly, in respect of
National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh being an Institute of National
Importance (by an Act of Parliament) and being established only in three years back in
2010. I have therefore adopted a B formula as stated below to achieve the primary goal of
producing World Class Visionary Engineers and exceptionally brilliant Researchers and
Innovators:

B-FORMULA
Best for Teaching
Best for Research
Best for Entrepreneurship & Innovation
Best for Services to Society

In implementing the B formula in letter and spirit, the framing of syllabi has been taken
as an important legitimate parameter. Therefore, extraordinary efforts and dedications were
directed for the last one year to frame syllabi in a framework perhaps not available in the
country as of today.
Besides attention on B formula institute has given considerable importance to the
major faults of current Technical Education while framing the syllabus. The major
stumbling blocks in Technical Education today are:
(I) The present system is producing Academic Engineers rather than Practical
Engineers.
(II) The present system of education makes the students to run after jobs rather than
making them competent to create jobs.
(III) There is lack of initiative to implement the reality of Imagination is more
important than knowledge.
Taking due consideration of the findings made above, to my mind credible syllabi has been
framed in the institute in which the major innovations are introduction of:

(I) I- course (Industrial Course) one in each semester at least one, which is
targeted to be taught by the Industrial expert at least upto 50% of its
component.
(II) Man making and service to society oriented compulsory credit courses of NCC/
NSS, values & ethics.

2
 (III) Compulsory audit course on Entrepreneurship for all branches.
(IV) Many add-on courses those are (non-credit courses) to be offered in vacation
to enhance the employability of the students.
(V) Many audit courses like French, German, and Chinese to enhance the
communication skill in global scale for the students.
(VI) Research and imagination building courses such as Research Paper
Communication.
(VII) Design course as Creative Design.
Further, the syllabus has been framed not to fit in a given structure as we believe
structure is for syllabus and syllabus is not for structure. Therefore, as per requirement of
the courses, the structure, the credit and the contact hours have been made available in
case to case.
The syllabus is also innovative as it includes:
(I) In addition to the list of text and reference books, a list of journals and
magazines for giving students a flexible of open learning.
(II) System of examination in each course as conventional examination, open book
examination and online examination.
Each course has been framed with definite objectives and learning outcomes. Syllabus has also
identified the courses to be taught either of two models of teaching:

(i) J.C. Bose model of teaching where practice is the first theory.
(ii) S.N. Bose model of teaching where theory is the first practice.

Besides the National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh has initiated a scheme
of simple and best teaching in which for example:
(i) Instead of teaching RL, RC and RLC circuit separately, only RLC circuit will be
taught and with given conditions on RLC circuits, RL and RC circuits will be
derived and left to the students as interest building exercise.
(ii) Instead of teaching separately High Pass filer, Band Pan filter and Low Pass
filter etc; one circuit of filter will be taught to derive out other circuits, on
conditions by the students.
I am firmly confident that the framed syllabus will result in incredible achievements,
accelerated growth and pretty emphatic win over any other systems and therefore my
students will not run after jobs rather jobs will run after my students.
For the framing of this excellent piece of syllabus, I like to congratulate all
members of faculty, Deans and HODs in no other terms but Sabash!
