TRANSITION FROM OLD SYLLABUS TO

REVISED SYLLABUS

 

 

1               Introduction

 

1.1            The existing syllabi for AMIETE/DipIETE (all streams) have been revised and upgraded. The revised syllabi have been implemented w.e.f June     2009 examination.

 

1.2            The old syllabi will be discontinued after Dec 2010 examinations. The students not clearing their AMIETE/DipIETE examinations under old syllabi will automatically stand transferred to revised syllabi after Dec 2010 examinations. 

 

1.3            Revised syllabus consist of 20 theory papers, four Lab Examinations, Seminar, Project and one paper on Communication skills and Technical writing.

         Accordingly, a student transiting from old syllabi to revised syllabi shall have to meet the criteria of revised syllabi. However, any paper passed in the old syllabi will be counted   in the revised syllabi  and thus a student in general, may not be required to pass more than 20 theory papers.  Only in exceptional cases as given in the examples, a student may be required to do the additional paper. Similarly, in Lab Examination also a student will not be required to do the Lab Examination which he has done in the old syllabi depending upon stream of the student.

     General Guidelines

  1.4   The revised syllabi is more student friendly. To help the students for their smooth transition from old syllabi, to revised syllabi the following procedure shall be adopted.

 

     (a)   A list of equivalent subjects of old syllabi vis-à-vis subjects of revised syllabi is given at  Appendix B,C & D for AMIETE and Appendix E & F for DipIETE.

 

     (b)   For those subjects having one to one equivalence in the two syllabi, the subjects already passed/exempted  under old syllabi will be deemed to have passed in the revised syllabi also.

 

     (c)   The revised syllabi consist of core subjects and non core subjects in each part. It is mandatory to pass all the core subjects whether transiting from old syllabi to revised syllabi or perusing only the revised syllabi. 

 

     (d)   If a student has passed a subject in old syllabi which is equivalent to core subject in the revised syllabi, he would be considered to have  passed the subject and will not be required to appear that subject again. Similarly if a subject passed in the old syllabi is equivalent to a non-core subject in the revised syllabi, he will not be required to re appear for the same and it will be considered as having passed in the revised syllabi. However, in those cases where a subject passed in old syllabi is having no equivalence in the revised syllabi a student will be given credit, in the relevant part for non-core subject only.

 

     (e)   In very few cases where a student has been found to have completed core or non core subject of a part and in addition has done some  subjects which are not there in the revised syllabi, such subjects will be shown as additional subjects. In such cases, for calculating overall grading,  the best subjects will be taken whether they may be core, non-core or non equivalent subjects.

 

     (f)   Where the two subjects from the old syllabus have been merged into a new subject in the revised syllabi, a student having passed both the subjects under old syllabi will be given credit of having passed, two papers. In case, only one subject out of two in the old syllabi has been passed the candidate shall have to pass the other subject  before Dec 2010 exam, otherwise he will have to appear for merged subject.  In this case, the one subject passed in old syllabi will be shown as additional subject and shall not count towards CGPA.

 

     (g)   An elective paper under old or revised syllabi will be treated as an elective and a student will not be required to appear in any additional elective paper. However, from Dec 2010 onwards, no examination will be conducted for Elective subjects existing in the old syllabi.  Thereafter the student shall have to select and appear for the elective subjects from the list of Electives given in the revised syllabi. 

 

     (h)   In such cases where an elective subject in old syllabi has been made a compulsory subject in the revised syllabi, a student having passed such elective subject will deemed to have passed the compulsory paper in revised syllabi. These students will be required to pass elective subjects of the revised syllabi.

 

     (j)   Project and Seminar if passed in the old syllabi will be treated as having passed in the revised syllabi also.

 

     (k)     Lab–DipIETE(ET) Lab-I (DL01) of old syllabus has not been granted any equivalent Lab in the revised syllabus therefore students will have to pass lab-I (DE91) in the revised syllabus even if he/she has passed Lab-I in the old syllabus. Similarly Lab-II (DL02/DE19) of old syllabus has been granted equivalent to Lab-II (DE92) and Lab-IV (DE94). Therefore, those who have passed Lab-II of old syllabus will be exempted in DE92 and DE94 of the revised syllabus.

 

     (l)    Lab–DipIETE(CS) Lab-I (DL01) has not been granted any equivalent lab in the revised syllabus. Students have to pass Lab-I in all cases. Those who have pass Lab-II (DL02/DC19) will be exempted in DC91 and DC94 as  Lab-II (old syllabus) has been granted equivalent to DC91 and DC94.

    

     (m)  Lab AMIETE(ET) Lab-I(AL01) of old scheme has been granted equivalence to  Lab-I (AE91) in the revised syllabi.  Similarly Lab-II (AL02 of old scheme) has been granted equivalence to AE94. Therefore a student shall have to do Lab-II (AE92) and Lab-III ( AE93) even if he has done Lab-I and Lab-II in the old scheme.

 

     (n)   Lab AMIETE(CS/IT) In these two streams also the student has to essentially do two Labs i.e. AC93 and  AC94.  Lab-I (AL01) of old scheme is equivalent to Lab-I (AC91) of revised syllabi. Similarly Lab-II (AL02) is equivalent to Lab-II (AC92) there is no equivalence for AC93 & AC94 which a student will have to do in the revised syllabi.

 

2    Examples for AMIETE

 

2.1       Example 1

     Suppose a student of AMIETE (ET) has passed the following 16
subjects under old Syllabi.

            (a)       Core subjects                                       16

                       AE01, AE02, AE03, AE04,

                       AE05, AE06,AE07, AE08,

                       AE09, AE10, AE11, AE12,

                       AE13, AE14, AE15, AE16.

            (b)       Elective        -                                     Nil

            (c)       Lab Exam      -                                      1 

                       (AL01)

 

   ·     In this case all subjects have an equivalency in the revised syllabi except AE02,AE03,AE07 and AE13. The  transition will be worked out  as under.

 

     (a)   The candidate will be exempted from appearing in Lab-I(AE91) of the revised syllabi as Lab-I under old syllabi (AL01) is equivalent to AE91. The student will have to do Lab-II (AE-92), Lab-III (AE93) and Lab-IV (AE94) in the revised syllabi.

 

 

 

 

     (b)   (i)        Total No of subjects to be passed under

                       revised Syllabi                                                           20

 

            (ii)       Total no of subject passed by the candidate

                       under old Syllabi                                                        16

 

            (iii)      Balance subject to be passed to complete AMIETE         4

 

     (c)   (i)        Core subjects  to be  passed under revised syllabi        12

    

            (ii)       Core subjects passed by the candidate in old  

                       scheme and have equivalency in revised syllabi             8

 

            (iii)      Balance Core subjects to be passed                              4

 

·     Though the student has to pass four more subjects to complete 20 subjects but since he/she has not passed elective papers, the student shall have to pass four remaining core courses and two electives to complete AMIETE. Thus in this case the student shall have to pass 22 subjects. Two subjects that do not exist in the revised syllabi will be reflected as additional papers.

 

·        In addition to above the student has to pass a paper in communication skill & technical writing, Project & Seminar.

 

2.2     Example 2

·        Suppose a candidate of AMIETE (ET) has passed the following papers under old syllabi.

 

                  (a)      Core subjects         -                                            14

                           AE01, AE02,  AE04, AD05, AE07,

                           AE09, AE10, AE11,AE12,AE13,

                           AE14, AE15, AE16, AE35, AE18,

                           AE36, AL01 & AL02.

 

                  (b)     Elective -(AE22)                                                    1

                  (c)      Lab Exam      -                                                     2

                            (AL01,AL02)

 

2.2.2          In this case  AE02, AE07 and AE13 have no equivalency in revised syllabi.

 

2.2.3 Following criteria will apply for transition to revised syllabi

 

(a) (i)         Total No of subjects to be passed under 

                  revised Syllabi  Complete AMIETE                            20

    (ii)         Total number of subjects passed                             14+2lab

    (iii)        Balanced subjects to be passed to complete
           AMIETE 
                                                                 06

  

         (b)     (i)      Core subjects  to be  passed under revised

syllabi                                                                    12

                  (ii)     Core subjects passed by the candidate in old

scheme and have equivalency in revised syllabi         7

                  (iii)    Balance Core subjects to be passed                           5

 

         (c)     (i)      Electives subject to be passed under revised

syllabi                                                                    2

                  (ii)     Elective passed under old syllabi                               1

                  (iii)    Balance elective to passed                                       1

                  (iv)    Balance lab paper                                                    3

                          (AE92,AE93&AE94)

 

2.2.4          The student has to pass six more subjects in order to complete AMIETE out of which he has to complete five Core courses and can attempt one elective from the list of electives in revised syllabi.

 

2.2.5          Lab Exam The student has passed AL01 and AL02. In revised syllabi Lab-I (AE91) is equivalent to AL01 of old syllabi. Also Lab-IV (AE94) is equivalent to AL02 therefore a student will have to pass Lab-II (AE92) and Lab-III (AE93) only.

 

2.2.6          The student has also to pass the paper on communication skill and technical writing (AE02). Project (AE18)and Seminar (AE36) since already passed he will be considered to have passed these subjects in the revised syllabi.

 

2.3      Example 3

2.3.1          Suppose a candidate of AMIETE(CS) has passed the following courses in old syllabi

                 (a)      Core subjects                                                16

                           AC01,AC02, AC03, AC04, AC05, AC07,

                           AC08, AC09,AC10, AC11, AC12, AC13,

                           AC14, AC15,AC16, AC35, AL01, AL02.

 

                 (b)     Elective       -                                                Nil

                 (c)     Lab Exam      -                                               2

                          (AL01,AL02)           

 

2.3.2   In this case there is no equivalency for AC09 and AC02 is a paper on Communication Skills & Technical writing. The two subjects AC05 and AC06 have been merged to a new subject AC52.  Similarly, two subjects AC08 and AC13 have been merged  to a new subject AC59 in the revised syllabi. 

 

 

2.3.3   Following methodology will be adopted for transition.

 

         (a)    (i)      Total No of subjects to be passed under revised

                           Syllabi                                                                               20

                  (ii)     Total No of subject passed by the candidate

                           under old Syllabi                                                                 15+ 1

                  (iii)    Balance subject to be passed to complete AMIETE                  5

 

         (b)    (i)      Core subjects  to be   passed under revised syllabi                  13

                  (ii)     Core subjects passed by the candidate in old

                           scheme and have equivalency in revised syllabi                     9+half or AC052

                  (iii)    Balance Core subjects to be passed                                      3+ (either AC06 or AC52 )

                                                                                                                    (in this case AC05 will be additional paper)

 

  2.3.4         The student has to pass 6 more subjects out of which 4 are core subjects.  Out of these 4 core subjects one of the core subject  AC52 is equivalent to AC05 and AC06 of old syllabi. Now he has already done AC05, it would be advisable to the student to pass AC06 before December 2010.  He may also opt  AC52 in which case there will not be any weightage for AC05.  After December 2010, a student will have to opt for AC52 only. Thus the student has to pass 3 core subjects i.e. AE64, AE66, AE68 and two more from electives.  However he is being given credit for all 15 subjects including the merged subjects passed under old Syllabi.

 

2.3.5        Lab Examination The student has passed Lab-I (AL01) and Lab-II (AL02) in old syllabi. In the revised syllabus Lab-I(AC91)is equivalent to AL01and AL02 (both). Also AC92 is equivalent to AL01in this case therefore student has to pass only two Labs (Lab-III and Lab-IV)-AE93 & AE94).

 

2.3.6        Besides above the student has to pass Project & Seminar. The paper on communication skill and technical writing has already been passed by him.

 


3        Examples of DipIETE

 

3.1           Example 1

 

 3.1.1         Suppose a candidate of Diploma (ET) has passed the following subjects under old syllabi.

 

              (a)      Core subjects                                                    12

                        DE01, DE02, DE03, DE04, DE05,

                        DE06, DE07,DE08, DE09,
                        DE11,DE12,  DE23.

              (b)     Elective       -                                                     NIL

 

              (c)      Lab Exam      -                                                    1

                        (DL01)

 

3.1.2            In this case two subjects DE05 and DE06 have been merged to a revised syllabi subject DE52.  Similarly, DE10 and DE14 have been merged to a new subject DE53 . There is no equivalency of DE02 and DE03 in the revised syllabi. 

 

3.1.3           Thus the equation is as follows.

                   (a)      (i)      Total No of subjects to be passed under

                                      revised Syllabi                                                           15

                             (ii)     Total no of subject passed by  the candidate

                                      under old Syllabi                                                        12

                             (iii)    Balance subject to be passed to complete

                                      DipIETE                                                                       3

                   (b)     (i)      Core subjects  to be passed under revised

                                      Syllabi                                                                        9

                             (ii)     Core subjects passed by the candidate in

                                      old syllabi and have  equivalency in revised

                                      syllabi                                                                        7

                             (iii)    Balance Core subjects to be passed

                                      (revised syllabi)                                                          2                  

 

3.1.4            Here, had he passed the three more papers in old syllabi, he would have completed DipIETE.  But in the revised syllabi, he has to pass two core subjects and two elective to complete his DipIETE. He has also to pass all the Lab examinations though he has passed Lab-I in old syllabus.

 

 

4.1              Example 2 of DipIETE

 

4.2              Suppose a candidate of Diploma (CS) has passed the following

                   subjects under old syllabus.

 

                   (a)      Core subjects                                                            13

                             DC01, DC02, DC03, DC04,DC05,

                             DC06, DC07,DC08,DC09, DC11& DC23.

                   (b)     Elective                 -                                                   2

                   (c)      Lab Exam                -                                                 2

                            DL01,DL02

4.2.1          In this case two subjects DC03 and DE05 have been merged to a revised syllabi subject DC52. 

 

4.2.2         Thus the transition will be worked out as follows.

 

                (a)      (i)      Total No of subjects to be passed under

                                   revised Syllabi                                                          15

(ii)             Total no of subject passed by the candidate

          under old Syllabi                                                       13

                          (iii)    Balance subject to be passed to complete

                                   AMIETE                                                                      2

                (b)     (i)      Core subjects  to be  passed under revised

                                   syllabi                                                                      10

                          (ii)     Core subjects passed by the candidate in

                                   old syllabi and  have equivalency in revised

                                   syllabi                                                                       7

                           (iii)    Balance Core subjects to be passed

                                     (revised syllabi)                                                         3               

4.2.3     The student has to pass three core courses besides Project.

 

4.2.4     Lab Exam- Since the student has passed DL01 and DL02 under old syllabus he will be exempted in DC91 and DC94. He has to pass DC92 and DC93.
