 PREFACE

An important issue generally debated amongst the planners and educator’s world over is how
technical education can contribute to sustainable development of the societies struggling hard
to come in the same bracket as that of the developed nations. The rapid industrialization and
globalization have created an environment for free flow of information and technology through
fast and efficient means. This has led to shrinking of the world, bringing people from different
culture and environment together and giving rise to the concept of world turning into a global
village. In India, a shift has taken place from the forgettable years of closed economy to
knowledge based and open economy in the last few decades. In order to cope with the
challenges of handling new technologies, materials and methods, we have to develophuman
resources having appropriate professional knowledge, skills and attitude. Technical education
system is one of the significant components of the human resource development and has grown
phenomenally during all these years. Now it is time to consolidate and infuse quality aspect
through developing human resources, in the delivery system. Polytechnics play an important
role in meeting the requirements of trained technical manpower for industries and field
organizations. The initiatives being taken by the State Board of Technical Education, UP to
revise the existing curricula of 6 diploma programmes as per the needs of the industry and
making them NSQF compliant, are laudable.
In order to meet the requirements of future technical manpower, we will have to revamp our
existing technical education system and one of the most important requirements is to develop
outcome-based curricula of diploma programmes. The curricula for diploma programmes have
been revised by adopting time-tested and nationally acclaimed scientific method, laying
emphasis on the identification of learning outcomes of diploma programme.
The real success of the diploma programme depends upon its effective implementation.
However best the curriculum document is designed, if that is not implemented properly, the
output will not be as expected. In addition to acquisition of appropriate physical resources, the
availability of motivated, competent and qualified faculty is essential for effective
implementation of the curricula.
It is expected of the polytechnics to carry out job market research on a continuous basis to
identify the new skill requirements, reduce or remove outdated and redundant courses, develop
innovative methods of course offering and thereby infuse the much needed dynamism in the
system.

RATIONALE

Project Work aims at developing innovative skills in the students whereby they apply in totality
the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution of particular problem
or by undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to place students for
project oriented practical training in actual work situation for the stipulated period.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After undergoing the project work, students will be able to:

Apply in totality the knowledge and skills gained through the course work in the solution
of particular problem or by undertaking a project. In addition, the project work is intended to
place the learner for project oriented practical training in actual work situation forthe stipulated
period with a view to:
 Develop understanding regarding the size and scale of operations and nature of field-
work in which students are going to play their role after completing the courses of study
 Develop understanding of subject based knowledge given in the classroom in the
context of its application at work places.
 Develop firsthand experience and confidence amongst the students to enable them to
use and apply polytechnic/ institute-based knowledge and skills to solve practical
problems related to the world of work.
 Develop abilities like interpersonal skills, communication skills, positive attitudes and
values etc.

General Guidelines

The individual students have different aptitudes and strengths. Project work, therefore, should
match the strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be asked to identify the type
of project work, they would like to execute. The activity of problem identification should begin
well in advance (say at the end of second year). Students should be allotted a problem of interest
to him/her as a major project work. It is also essential that the faculty of the respective
department may have a brainstorming session to identify suitable project assignments for their
students. The project assignment can be individual assignment or a group assignment. There
should not be more than 3 students if the project work is given to a group. The project work
identified in collaboration with industry should be preferred.
This practical training cum project work should not be considered as merely conventional
industrial training in which students are sent at work places with either minimal or no
supervision. This experience is required to be planned in advance and supervised on regular
basis by the polytechnic faculty. For the fulfillment of above objectives, polytechnics may
establish close linkage with 8-10 relevant organization for providing such an experience to
students. It is necessary that each organization is visited well in advance and activities to be
performed by students are well defined. The chosen activities should be such that it matches
with the curricular interest to students and of professional value to industrial/ field
organizations. Each teacher is expected to supervise and guide 5-6 students.

There is no binding to take up the above projects as it is only a suggestive list of projects.

A suggestive criterion for assessing student performance by the external (person from
industry) and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:
The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table.

In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which the
students may be given one more chance to improve and re-evaluate before being disqualified
and declared “not eligible to receive diploma ”. It is also important to note that the students
must get more than six “goods” or above “good” grade in different performance criteria items
in order to get “Overall Good” grade.

Range of maximum marks Overall grade

i) More than 80 Excellent

ii) 79 <> 65 Very good
iii) 64 <> 50 Good
iv) 49 <> 40 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor

Important Notes

1. This criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and they should see the daily,
weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks as per the above criteria.

2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 200 maximum
marks. The internal and external examiners will evaluate students separately and
give marks as per the study and evaluation scheme of examination.
3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who has
been associated with the project-oriented professional training of the students,
should evaluate the students performance as per the above criteria.

4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given
merit certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if
specific nearby industries are approached for instituting such awards.

The teachers are free to evolve other criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of project
work.

It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work

11. EVALUATION STRATEGY

11.1 INTRODUCTION

Evaluation plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. The major objective
of any teaching- learning endeavor is to ensure the quality of the product which can be
assessed through learner’s evaluation.

The purpose of student evaluation is to determine the extent to which the general and
the specific objectives of curriculum have been achieved. Student evaluation is also
important from the point of view of ascertaining the quality of instructional processes
and to get feedback for curriculum improvement. It helps the teachers in determining
the level of appropriateness of teaching experiences provided to learners to meet their
individual and professional needs. Evaluation also helps in diagnosing learning
difficulties of the students. Evaluation is of two types: Formative and Summative
(Internal and External Evaluation)

Formative Evaluation
It is an on-going evaluation process. Its purpose is to provide continuous and
comprehensive feedback to students and teachers concerning teaching-learning process.
It provides corrective steps to be taken to account for curricular as well as co-curricular
aspects.

Summative Evaluation

It is carried out at the end of a unit of instruction like topic, subject, semester or year.
The main purpose of summative evaluation is to measure achievement for assigning
course grades, certification of students and ascertaining accountability of instructional
process. The student evaluation has to be done in a comprehensive and systematic
manner since any mistake or lacuna is likely to affect the future of students.
 In the present educational scenario in India, where summative evaluation plays an
important role in educational process, there is a need to improve the standard of
summative evaluation with a view to bring validity and reliability in the end-term
examination system for achieving objectivity and efficiency in evaluation.

11.2 STUDENTS’ EVALUATION AREAS

The student evaluation is carried out for the following areas:

- Theory
- Practical Work (Laboratory, Workshop, Field Exercises)
- Project Work
- Professional Industrial Training
A. Theory

Evaluation in theory aims at assessing students’ understanding of concepts,

principles and procedures related to a course/subject, and their ability to apply
learnt principles and solve problems. The formative evaluation for theory
subjects may be caused through sessional /class-tests, home-assignments,
tutorial-work, seminars, and group discussions etc. For end-term evaluation of
theory, the question paper may comprise of three sections.
Section-I

It should contain objective type items e.g. multiple choice, matching and
completion type. Total weightage to Section-1 should be of the order of 20
percent of the total marks and no choice should be given in this section. The
objective type items should be used to evaluate students’ performance in
knowledge, comprehension and at the most application domains only.

Section-II

It should contain short answer/completion items. The weightage to this section

should be of the order of 40 percent of the total marks. Again, no choice should
be given in section-II

Section-III

It may contain two to three essay type questions. Total weightage to this section
should be of the order of 40 percent of the total marks. Some built-in, internal
choice of about 50 percent of the questions set, can be given in this section

Table II : Suggested Weightage to be given to different ability levels

Abilities Weightage to be assigned

Knowledge 10-30 percent
Comprehension 40-60 percent
 Application 20-30 percent
Higher than application i.e., Analysis, Up to 10 percent
Synthesis and Evaluation

B. Practical Work

Evaluation of student’s performance in practical work (Laboratoryexperiments,

Workshop practical/field exercises) aims at assessing students’ ability to apply
or practice learnt concepts, principles and procedures, manipulative skills,
ability to observe and record, ability to interpret and draw conclusions and
work-related attitudes. Formative and summative evaluation may comprise of
weightages to performance on task, quality of product, general behavior and it
should be followed by viva-voce.

C. Project Work

The purpose of evaluation of project work is to assess students’ ability to apply,

in an integrated manner, learnt knowledge and skills in solving real life
problems, manipulative skills, ability to observe, record, creativity and
communication skills. The formative and summative evaluation may comprise
of weightage to nature of project, quality of product, quality of report and
quality of presentation followed by viva-voce.

D. Professional Industrial Training

Evaluation of professional industrial training report and viva-voce/ presentation

aims at assessing students’ understanding of materials, industrial processes,
practices in the industry/field and their ability to engage in activitiesrelated to
problem-solving in industrial setting as well as understanding of application of
learnt knowledge and skills in real life situation. The formative and summative
evaluation may comprise of weightages to performance in testing, general
behavior, quality of report and presentation during viva-voce.
12. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM
IMPLEMENTATION

This curriculum document is a Plan of Action and has been prepared based on exhaustive
exercise of curriculum planning and design. The representative sample comprising selected
senior personnel (lecturers and HODs) from various institutions and experts from industry/field
have been involved in curriculum design process.

The document so prepared is now ready for its implementation. It is the faculty of polytechnics
who have to play a vital role in planning instructional experiences for the courses in four
different environments viz. class-room, laboratory, library and field and execute them in right
perspective. It is emphasized that a proper mix of different teaching methods in all these places
of instruction only can bring the changes in stipulated students’ behavior as in the curriculum
document. It is important for the teachers to understand curriculum document holistically and
further be aware of intricacies of teaching-learning process (T-L) for achieving curriculum
objectives. Given below are certain suggestions which may help the teachers in planning and
designing learning experiences effectively. These are indicative in nature and teachers using
their creativity can further develop/refine them. The designers of the programme suggest every
teacher to read them carefully, comprehend and start using them.

(A) Broad Suggestions:

1. Curriculum implementation takes place at programme, course and class-room level

respectively and synchronization among them is required for its success. The first step
towards achieving synchronization is to read curriculum document holistically and
understand its rationale and philosophy.

2. An academic plan needs to be prepared and made available to all polytechnics well in
advance. The principals have a great role to play in its dissemination and, percolation
up to grass-root level. Polytechnics, in turn are supposed to prepare institutional
academic plan.

3. HOD of every Programme Department along with HODs and in charges of other
departments are required to prepare academic plan at department level referring to
institutional academic plan.

4. All lecturers/Senior lecturers are required to prepare course level and class level lesson
plans referring departmental academic plan.

(B) Course Level Suggestions

Teachers are educational managers at class room level and their success in achieving
course level objectives lies in using course plan and their judicious execution which is
very important for the success of programme by achieving its objectives.
 Polytechnic teachers are required to plan various instructional experiences viz. theory
lecture, expert lectures, lab/workshop practical’s, guided library exercises, field visits,
study tours, camps etc. In addition, they have to carry out progressive assessment of
theory, assignments, library, practical and field experiences. Teachers are also required
to do all these activities within a stipulated period of time. It is essential for them to use
the given time judiciously by planning all above activities properly and ensure
execution of the plan effectively.

Following is the gist of suggestions for subject teachers to carry out T-L process
effectively:

1. Teachers are required to prepare a course plan, taking into account departmental
academic plan, number of weeks available and courses to be taught.

2. Teachers are required to prepare lesson plan for every theory class. This plan may
comprise of contents to be covered, learning material for execution of a lesson plan.
They may follow steps for preparing lesson plan e.g., drawing attention, state
instructional objectives, help in recalling pre-requisite knowledge, deliver planned
subject content, check desired learning outcomes and reinforce learning etc.

3. Teachers are required to plan for expert lectures from field/industry. Necessary steps
are to plan in advance, identify field experts, make correspondence to invite them, take
necessary budgetary approval etc.

4. Teachers are required to plan for guided library exercises by identification of course
specific experience requirement, setting time, assessment, etc. The assignments and
seminars can be thought of as terminal outcome of library experiences.

5. Concept and content-based field visits may be planned and executed for such content
of course which is abstract in nature and no other requisite resources are readily
available in institute to impart them effectively.

6. There is a dire need for planning practical experiences in right perspective. These slots
in a course are the avenues to use problem-based learning/activity learning/ experiential
learning approach effectively. The development of lab instruction sheets for the course
is a good beginning to provide lab experiences effectively.

7. Planning of progressive assessment encompasses periodical assessment in a semester,

preparation of proper quality question paper, assessment of answer sheets
immediately and giving constructive feedback to every student

8. The student-centered activities may be used to develop generic skills like task
management, problem solving, managing self, collaborating with others etc.
9. Where ever possible, it is essential to use activity- b a s e d learning rather than
relying on delivery based conventional teaching all the time.

10. Teachers may take initiative in establishing liaison with industries and field
organizations for imparting field experiences to their students.

11. Students be made aware about issues related to ecology and environment, safety,
concern for wastage of energy and other resources etc.

12. Students may be given relevant and well thought out project assignments, which are
purposeful and develop practical skills. This will help students in developing creativity
and confidence for their gainful employment.

13. A Project bank may be developed by the concerned department of the polytechnics in
consultation with related Industry, research institutes and other relevant field
organizations in the state.
