1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
IIT Bhilai offers a semester-oriented undergraduate, postgraduate and research
programs with an objective of imparting best quality science and engineering
education. Admissions to the academic programs are synchronized with an academic
year, though in some cases, it may be synchronized to the start of a semester. An
academic year starts in the month of July each calendar year and ends in the month
of June of the next calendar year. Each academic year is divided into three semesters
– Monsoon, Winter and Summer semesters. The Monsoon and Winter semesters are
two regular semesters. The Summer semester is a shorter semester and only
applicable for BTech and MSc programs. IIT Bhilai is currently offering Bachelor of
Technology (BTech), Master of Science (MSc), Master of Technology (MTech) and
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in various disciplines. The medium of instruction
in both theory and practical classes of the BTech, MSc, MTech and PhD programs is
English. This document provides the curricula of all programs at IIT Bhilai along with
the list of courses as on date.
1.2 Disciplines
Any program and course are offered by an Academic Unit or discipline. The names of
disciplines, associated department(s) and their discipline codes are given in Table 1.
Physics Physics
The admissions are carried out in Bachelor of Technology (BTech) program, Master
of Science (MSc) program, Master of Technology (MTech) program and Doctor of
Philosophy (PhD) program. A BTech student may also opt to convert his program to
BTech-MTech dual degree program. If the conversion is permitted by the Institute, the
student shall get two degrees after successful completion of MTech program
requirements. A student of an MSc or MTech program shall also be eligible for
conversion to the MSc/MTech-PhD dual degree program. If the conversion is
permitted by the Institute, the student shall get PhD degree as well as MTech or MSc
degree after successful completion of program requirements. A student of BTech
program whose program is converted to MTech program will also be eligible for
conversion to PhD program.
2. COURSE STRUCTURE AND CREDIT SYSTEM
N Non-graded courses
# These courses shall run for duration not less than 1 month. BTech students can
take such courses maximum of 6 credits during the entire program.
If a course involves 1 lecture hour (50-55 mins) per week and runs for
L:
14 weeks, 1 credit will be assigned to the course
If a course involves 1 tutorial hour (50-55 mins) per week and runs for
T:
14 weeks, 1 credit will be assigned to the course
If a course involves 2 practical/practice/lab hour (2 hours) per week
P:
and runs for 14 weeks, 1 credit will be assigned to the course
Credit assignment explained above can be understood well from following
examples showing courses and associated L-T-P-C structure:
MEyxxx (L-T-P-C: 3-0-0-3) or CSyxxx (L-T-P-C: 3-1-0-4) or
PHyxxx (L-T-P-C: 0-0-2-1) or EEyxxx (L-T-P-C: 0-1-4-3)
2.1.4 Pre-requisite(s)
Each course, other than 100 level courses, may have specified pre-requisite(s) in
terms of other course(s). A student who has obtained F grade in the pre-
requisite(s) specified will not be eligible to register for the course. For example:
MEL612 Conduction and Radiation Heat Transfer
3 Credits (3-0-0)
Pre-requisite(s): MEL313 or equivalent
A student who has obtained a grade other than F grade in MEL313 will be eligible
to register for this course.
If a course (course X) has more than 25% overlapping content with another course
(course Y) which is already credited by the student, then a student is not eligible to
register for the course (course X).
The course is said to be passed if the student receives a grade other than F, FS,
I or X.
All students shall appear in all examinations (including the mid-semester and end-
semester examinations). Failure to appear in any examination will cause 0 (zero)
marks to be awarded in that examination and the grading to be carried out
accordingly. A student who fails to appear in any written examination (mid-
semester or end-semester examination) due to genuine medical or unavoidable
reasons may be permitted by the course instructor to take make-up examination
subject to certification by the Institute doctor on the severity of the medical
condition. The student should make a request for this purpose supported by all
documents. Such a request shall reach the course instructor within two days of
last date of mid-semester examination or end-semester examination (whichever
exam is missed by the student). In exceptional circumstances, course instructors
may also allow students to appear in the make-up examination to provide them
with an additional chance to improve their performance. Students who are
permitted to appear in the make-up examination shall be awarded FS grade. If the
student fails to appear in the make-up examination as per the academic calendar,
the FS grade is converted to regular grade. The make-up examination shall be
used to substitute the marks of the examination missed by the student and the
grading shall be carried out by the instructor as per the regular class grading.
F or X grade is given by the course instructor when he/she is convinced that the
student must repeat the course, including all lectures, labs, examinations etc. The
student must repeat the course if it is not a PE or OE course. For PE or OE
courses, the student can replace the course with another course of the same
category.
I grade is given by the course instructor when the student fails to complete the
course and will require some extra time to finish the project work or assignment. I
grade must be converted to a regular grade within one week of the end of the
semester (last day of the end-semester examination). An unconverted I grade is
automatically converted to F grade.
S grade is given by the course instructor when he/she is convinced that the
performance of the student is satisfactory in the thesis or non-graded core
courses.
Students shall be awarded regular grades (A+, A, A-, B, B-, C, C-, D, F) in the
audited courses and the same shall be reflected in the grade card or transcript of
the student. However, grades of the audited courses shall not be considered in
the SGPA/CGPA calculation.
2.2.3 Evaluation System
IIT Bhilai supports continuous evaluation of performance of students in various
courses. Course instructor of a course is responsible for conducting written
examinations, surprised/announced quizzes, home assignments, project works,
lab assignments, presentations, interviews, oral examinations or any other method
of evaluation. The weightage for each of these components shall be announced
by the course instructor a-priori. Among such examination methods, the formal
written examinations (mid-semester and end-semester examinations) shall be
carried out as per the academic calendar of the Institute. The course instructor
may choose the method of evaluation depending upon the nature of the course
and shall make it known to the class in the beginning.
The academic calendar of the Institute shall reserve slots for mid-semester and
end-semester examinations. The examinations shall be carried out only during this
schedule.
𝐶1 𝑁1 + 𝐶2 𝑁2 + 𝐶3 𝑁3 + 𝐶4 𝑁4 + 𝐶5 𝑁5
SGPA =
𝐶1 + 𝐶2 + 𝐶3 + 𝐶4 + 𝐶5
CGPA is computed in a similar way except that the courses are taken across all
semesters. While computing SGPA and CGPA, the rules of repetition of courses
are followed.
The institute award CGPA on a scale of 10 (Ten) after the assessment of the
students. The institute does not offer any formula for the conversion of CGPA to
percentage or any other scale. However, wherever percentage is the norm, the
CGPA of all IIT Bhilai graduates be notionally converted into percentage by
multiplying the CGPA by a factor of 10 (Ten). For the purpose of employment or
requirement of any external body, IIT Bhilai graduate having 6 (Six) CGPA and
above be taken as First Class.

curricular or extra-curricular activities. 1 unit implies total involvement of about 14
hours. Following non-graded core courses are mandatory to become eligible for
the award of BTech Degree from IIT Bhilai:
