Session: 2013-2014
Examination – 2014
The Master of Science (M. Sc.) in Information and Communication Engineering is divided
into two Groups, namely General group (A) & Thesis group (B). The courses consist of total
1000 marks (10 units, 40 credits). The duration of the course is one academic year and is not
more than three academic years from the date of first admission.
General Group (Group A)
The M.Sc. Examination in Information and Communication Engineering for the General
group (Group A) comprises of six theoretical courses each of four hours duration and each
carries 100 marks (1 unit, 4 credits). Practical examinations shall be of 24 hours (4 days; 6
hours a day). Marks for practical examination are 140. Laboratory assessment carries 60
marks. Viva-voce examination and continuous assessment (including study tour/in-plant
training) carry 100 (1 unit, 4 credits) and 100 (1 unit, 4 credits). marks respectively. The
courses ICE-501, ICE-502, ICE-503 and ICE-504 are compulsory. Two others from optional
courses shall be taken with the prior approval of the chairman of the Department.
Thesis Group (Group B)
The examination of the Thesis group (Group-B) comprises of six theoretical courses out of
which four courses are compulsory (ICE-501, ICE-502, ICE-503 and ICE-504) and two are
optional courses which shall be taken with the prior approval of the chairman on the
recommendation of the thesis supervisor, each of four hours duration and each carries 100
marks (1 unit, 4 credits). Marks on continuous assessment including study tour/in-plant
training, General Viva-voce and Viva-voce on thesis are 100, 100 and 50 respectively. The
Dissertation carries 150 marks. Students opting for the thesis Group must take prior
permission of the chairman of the department.
Eligibility for M.Sc Examination:
In order to be eligible for taking up the M.Sc examination, a candidate must have pursued a
regular course of study by attending not less than 75% of the number of classes held
(Theoretical, Practical, Class assessment/Tutorial/Terminal/Home assignment) provided that
the Academic Committee of the Department on special grounds and on such documentary
evidence as may be necessary, may condone the cases of shortage of attendance ordinarily
not below 60%. A candidate appearing at the examination under the benefit of this provision
shall have to pay in addition to the examination fees, the requisite fee prescribed by the
Syndicate for the purpose.
A candidate, who failed to appear at the examination or fails to pass the examination, may on
the approval of the relevant Department be readmitted to the following session.

shall be 4 (four).
(b) Letter Grade (LG) and Grade Point (GP): Letter Grades, corresponding Grade Points
and Credit Points shall be awarded in accordance with provisions shown below:

Absence from the final examination shall be considered incomplete with the letter grade “I”.
(c) Grade Point Average (GPA) and Total Credit Point (TCP): The weighted average of
the grade points obtained in all the courses by a student and Total Credit Point shall be
calculated from the following equations:
GPA = Sum of [(CP)i x (GP)i] / sum of (CP)I and
TCP = Sum of (CP)i
Where, (GP)i = grade point obtained in individual course, (CP)i = credit point for respective
course, GPA = grade point average obtained, and TCP = total credit point obtained. GPA
shall be rounded off up to 2 (two) places after decimal to the advantage of the examinee. For
instance, GPA=2.112 shall be rounded off as GPA=2.12.

Award of Degree, Promotion and Improvement of Results:
(a) Award of Degree: The degree of Master of Science shall be awarded on the basis of
GPA obtained by a candidate in M.Sc. In order to qualify for the M.Sc degree a
candidate must have to obtain within 3 (three) academic years from the date of first
admission:
(i)
A minimum GPA of 2.50,
(ii)
A minimum GP of 2.00 in the Practical/ Thesis, and
(iii)
A minimum TCP of 36.
The result shall be given in GPA with the corresponding LG (Table of letter LG, GP and CP)
in bracket. For example “GPA=2.67(C+)”.
(b) Publication of Results: The result of a successful candidate shall be declared on the
basis of GPA. The transcript in English shall show the course number, course title,
credit, LETTER grade and grade point of individual courses, GPA and the
corresponding LG (IN BRACKET).
(c) Result Improvement:
(i)
A candidate obtaining a GPA of less than 2.75 at the examination shall be
allowed to improve his/her result, only once as an irregular candidate
within 3 academic years from the date of first admission.
(ii)
The year of examination, in the case of a result improvement, shall remain
same as that of the regular examination. His/her previous grades for
Practical courses, Class assessment/ Tutorial/ Thesis/ Dissertation courses
shall remain valid (expect the Theory Viva voce). If a candidate fails to
improve GPA, the previous result shall remain valid.
