Specific Administrative Points

º  There are five professional courses and two institute core courses per semester.
º  Each course is divided into five units.
º  Each unit of each course will be taught through:
o    two video sessions (30 mts each)
o    two theory / practical sessions (2 hours each)
º  The practical sessions are based on a set of exercises to be carried out by the students in the class, or at home if they are unable to complete the work, or on Saturdays during extra optional working hours.
º  For each course, in each week, there will, therefore, be one contact session of 2.5 hours duration which will have two parts: a 30 minute video session covering salient aspects of the exercises planned for the day, followed by a practical session of two hours.
º  Every unit of a paper thus gets covered in 2 weeks, and every course in 10 weeks.
º  The video module will be screened and explained, and doubts cleared by the Mentor. Video re-screening in parts may be done during the practical session if felt necessary by the mentor.
º  The lesson content of each module will be provided on a separate VCD along with
o    A detailed script of the lecture
o    Quiz with key (for the Instructor)
º  Assuming a Semester of 18 weeks, 15 x 2.5 hours contact sessions per course are planned as outlined above. Three additional contact weeks are for two Series tests and one End Semester Examinations. Continuous evaluation quizzes as per the DEI pattern will be scheduled only on Saturdays.
º  In addition, any optional videos not part of the syllabus may be screened on Saturdays.
A suggested weekly screening schedule is given below. The actual schedule may be adjusted according to local holidays. Quiz and test weeks can be planned, as is done in DEI. A schedule for these will be worked out on a Semester-wise basis and notified in advance to the students.
