** Core practical to be conducted for all students irrespective of electives chosen, in separate batches
# Elective lab: Laboratory Practical of elective paper to be conducted separately. Total of atleast 10-12 practicals to be conducted.

Note: Industrial tour or visit will be organized during or at end of semester VIII.

SEMESTER-IX

** Core practical to be conducted for all students irrespective of electives chosen, in separate batches
## Elective lab: Laboratory Practical of elective paper to be conducted separately. Total of
at least 10-12 practicals to be conducted.

Project Work: Students should conduct a project (theory or practical) on any topic relevant to
the subject chosen for the electives in consultation with faculty/mentor. Since there are two elective, there would be project on both electives. Students must submit a proper report (with introduction, review, results and discussion) on work conducted throughout the semester. Project report will be evaluated and marks will be awarded at the end of semester only. 

Seminar: Students will give a presentation on the topics (chosen for project work based on electives) in which they have to present their work done in project. Each student will be given a mentor/faculty (as per discussion with respective batch co-ordinator), preferably related to the topic chosen for electives. The student will be evaluated in an open seminar and marks will be awarded at the end of semester only.

SEMESTER-X

* Dissertation duration of 5-6 months in any National or International laboratory

EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE RULES AND GUIDELINES

1. EVALUATION:
All subject items will be evaluated on cent percent points. The break-up for each category is:

Theory Subjects: Evaluation will be on continuous and end-semester examination basis with 60% points for end-semester examination and 40% points on continuous evaluation. For continuous  evaluation  one  mid-sem  examination  and  two  quizzes  or  tests/ assignments/seminars have to be conducted with point distribution as: 25% for mid-sem, 15% for quizzes / assignments /seminars.

Practical Subjects: Evaluation will be on continuous and end-semester examination basis with distribution of points as, 50% for continuous internal evaluation & 30% for the experiments conducted and 20% for grand viva during end-semester examination.
100 marks for practicals will be divided into: 50 (internal evaluation) and 20 (Grand Viva) and
30 (Major experiment and spotting)
·    50 marks for internal evaluation are evaluated as: Regularity: 10; Record File: 10; Basics: 10; Technique/execution: 10; Analysis: 10
·    Viva will consist of a jury of faculty members (including subject teachers) + 1 external (non subject teacher). 20 marks will be evaluated as: Fundamentals 5; Experimental analysis: 10; Presentation: 5.
·    30    marks    in    practical    are    for    one    major    experiment    (20    marks)    and spotting/identification (10). If no spotting or identification is there then 10 marks can be merged with major experiment to make it 30 marks.

Project Work: Students should conduct a project (theory or practical) on any topic relevant to the subject chosen for the electives in consultation with faculty/mentor. Since there are two elective, there would be project on both electives. Students must submit a proper report (with introduction, review, results and discussion) on work conducted throughout the semester. Project report will be evaluated and marks will be awarded at the end of semester only. The project work holds 50 marks [Work done (15), Extent of research and involvement of student (15), writing skill, analysis and presentation (20)].

Seminar: Students will give separate presentation on the topics (chosen for project work based on electives) in which they have to present their work done in project. Each student will be given a mentor/faculty (as per discussion with respective batch co-ordinator), preferably related to the topic chosen for electives. The student will be evaluated in an open seminar and marks will be awarded at the end of semester only. The seminar holds 50 marks [Coherence, Voice  Modulation  and  Body  language  (15),  Presentation  making  (10),  Defence  (10), Originality of Presentation and Content (5), Background research conducted for Presentation (10)].

Dissertation:  Dissertation  duration  of  5-6  months  in  any  National  or  International laboratory. Students must give a viva exam in the form of presentation and a dissertation thesis

(one hard copy and one soft copy). The thesis must be submitted at the time of viva and not after. Students will be evaluated by internal as well as external examiners. Distribution of points allocated is: 60% for work done, 20% for report and 20% for presentation, defence during viva.

2. GRADING & PERFORMANCE INDEX:
A seven point grading system on a base of 10 will be followed for grading in a subject item and thesis.
SGPA: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the credit weighted average of grade points earned in all the subject items in a Semester. It indicates the performance level of a student in a particular Semester.
CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the credit weighted average of grade points earned in all the subject items up to the last completed Semester starting from the 1st Semester. It indicates the current performance level of a student.

3. ATTENDANCE:
If  a student’s  attendance in  a subject  item falls  below  75%, he/she  will  be debarred  from
appearing in the end-semester examination in that subject item. The student will have to re appear in the supplementary examination for that subject in the following odd or even semester.

4. PROMOTION:
A student has to pass in all the individual paper with minimal grade ‘D’.

If a student fails during one academic year (two semesters) in more than five subjects he/she will not be promoted to next year and will be demoted to previous year.

If a student fails in an odd or even semester, back paper examination will be conducted in the next year even or odd academic session, respectively.

If a student fails in the 10th Semester (M.Tech Dual degree Biotechnology), back paper examination will be scheduled immediately after the declaration of the end semester results.

5. DEGREE REQUIREMENT:
For award of the degree the student has to secure minimum CGPA of 5.5 and should have
secured minimal grade D in all the subjects.
