Every Programme has a curriculum comprising of both theory and practical courses with well-defined syllabus. The courses cover:

a.  Languages

b.  Management subjects

c.  Basic Science subjects and

d.  Basic Engineering subjects

There are a certain number of core modules. The blend of different modules is designed so that the student, at the end of the programme, would have been trained not only in his / her relevant professional field but also would have developed as a socially conscious human being.

The medium of instruction, examinations and project report shall be in English, except for courses on language other than English.

A student is ordinarily expected to complete the Basic Technician Certificate Programme (NTA 4) in 2 semesters (one academic year) but in any case not more than 4 Semesters; and Ordinary Diploma (NTA 6) in 4 semesters (two academic years) but in any case not more than 6 semesters. Each semester consist of 15 learning weeks and 2 weeks for examinations (540 periods of 50 minutes each).

2.2  DETAILS OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES

2.2.1 DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The Department offers Ordinary Diploma at NTA Levels 4 to 6. Along with the Diploma programmes, the Department also has VET programmes which lead to the award of NVTA Level II in collaboration with VETA.

Students admitted for Ordinary Diploma may exit at NTA Level 4 with the award of Basic Technician Certificate and NTA Level 5 with the award of Technician Certificate. Successful students who complete Ordinary Diploma course NTA Level 6 are awarded an Ordinary Diploma.
