Brief about Department of Applied Mechanics:

Established in 1966, the Department of Applied Mechanics offers two post graduate
programs. The department offers structural engineering subjects to B.Tech. (Civil) and
B.Arch, student along with the subject of Engineering Mechanics to the first year B. Tech.
students. Since its inception, department has been actively involved in the consultancy work
of structural design of structures, with emphasis on water tanks. In last decade, department
has pursued many earthquakes engineering related activities. Faculty members have visited

1
earthquake affected areas after Bhuj earthquake of 2001 and Andaman earthquake of 2004.
At present, government funded research projects in the areas of seismic response control and
damage detection are being pursued. Recently, department has procured servo-hydraulic
shake table of 3m × 3m for seismic ground motion simulation.

1. Structural Engineering 25
2. Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering 25

Credit System at VNIT

Education at the Institute is organized around the semester-based credit system of study. The
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.
A student’s performance/progress is measured by the number of credits he/she has earned, i.e.
completed satisfactorily. Based on the course credits and grades obtained by the student,
grade point average is calculated. Aminimum number of credits and a minimum grade point
average must be acquired by a student in order to qualify for the degree.

Course credits assignment

Each course, except a few special courses, has certain number of credits assigned to it
depending on lecture, tutorial and laboratory contact hours in a week.
For Lectures and Tutorials: One lecture hour per week per semester is assigned one credit and
For Practical/Laboratory/Studio: One hour per week per semester is assigned half credit.
Example: Course XXXXXX with (3-0-2) as (L-T-P) structure, i.e. 3 hrs. Lectures + 0 hr.
Tutorial + 2 hrs. Practical per week, will have (3×1+0×1+2×0.5 =) 4 credits.

Grading System
The grading reflects a student’s own proficiency in the course. While relative standing of the
student is clearly indicated by his/her grades, the process of awarding grades is based on
fitting performance of the class to some statistical distribution. The course coordinator and
associated faculty members for a course formulate appropriate procedure to award grades.
These grades are reflective of the student’s performance vis-à-vis instructor’s expectation. If

3
a student is declared pass in a subject, then he/she gets the credits associated with that
subject.
Depending on marks scored in a subject, a student is given a Grade. Each grade has got
certain grade points as follows:

Grade Grade points Description

AA 10 Outstanding
AB 9 Excellent
BB 8 Very good
BC 7 Good
CC 6 Average
CD 5 Below average
DD 4 Marginal (Pass Grade)
Poor (Fail)/Unsatisfactory/Absence from end-semester
FF 0
examination
NP - Audit pass
NF - Audit fail
SS - Satisfactory performance in zero credit core course
ZZ - Unsatisfactory performance in zero credit core course
W - Insufficient attendance

Performance Evaluation

The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of two indices, viz, the Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for a semester and Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for all the completed
semesters at any point in time. CGPA is rounded up to second decimal.
The Earned Credits (ECR) are defined as the sum of course credits for courses in which
students have been awarded grades between AA to DD. Grades obtained in the audit courses
are not counted for computation of grade point average.
Earned Grade Points in a semester (EGP) = Σ (Course credits × Grade point) for courses in
which AA- DD grade has been obtained.
SGPA = EGP/Σ (Course credits) for courses registered in a semester in which AA- FF grades
are awarded
CGPA= EGP/Σ (Course credits) for courses passed in all completed semesters in which AA-
DD grades are awarded

Attendance Rules

1. All students must attend every class and 100% attendance is expected from the students.
However, in consideration of the constraints/unavoidable circumstances, the attendance
can be relaxed by course coordinator only to the extent of not more than 25%. Every
student must attend minimum of 75% of the classes actually held for that course.
2. A student with less than 75% attendance in a course during the semester, will be awarded
W grade. Such a student will not be eligible to appear for the end semester and re-
examination of that course. Even if such a student happens to appear for these
examinations, then, answer books of such students will not be evaluated.
3. A student with W grade is not eligible to appear for end semester examination,
reexamination and summer term.
