Curriculum:

Department of Applied Mechanics offers two M. Tech program, namely, M. Tech. in Structural Engineering and M. Tech. in Structural Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering. Student has to complete certain number of credits wherein, each subject (or course) has certain number of credits. The number of credits attached to a subject depends on number of classes in a week. For example a subject with 3-1-0 (L-T-P) means it has 3 Lectures, 1 Tutorial and 0 Practical in a week. This subject will have four credits (3×1 + 1×1 + 0x1 = 4). If a student is declared pass in a subject, then he/she gets the credits associated with that subject. Depending on marks scored in a subject, student is given a Grade. Each grade has got certain grade points as follows:

GradesGrade PointsDescription of performance
AA10Outstanding
AB09Excellent
BB08Very Good
BC07Good
CC06Average
CD05Below Average
DD04Marginal
FF00/FailVery-poor/ Unsatisfactory / Absence in End-Semester Examination
W Attendance Less than 75 %. Not Eligible for End-Semester Examination. Student Shall repeat the Course.
