  • The opportunity for learners to choose the courses of their interest in all disciplines.
  • Promoted for Internship:- Mandatory One Semester Internship in 8th Semester.
  • Provision of Vocational and Skill Enhancement Courses (VSEC), Indian Knowledge System (IKS), Community Engagement Project (CEP)/Field Project (FP) in Major Discipline Degree.
  • Credits for Co-curricular and Extra-Curricular Activities. Provision of credits for the Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC) and Value Education Courses (VEC).
  • Interdisciplinary or Multidisciplinary education through Minors and Open Electives (OE).
  • The flexibility to switch to alternative modes of learning (offline and online learning, and hybrid modes of learning).

Each semester includes a balanced mix of:

  • Programme Core (PC) – Discipline-specific theory and lab courses
  • Professional Electives (PE) – Departmental specializations (e.g., AI in Finance, Robotics, Cybersecurity)
  • Open Electives (OE) – Interdisciplinary offerings (e.g., Operations Research, MIS, Environmental Studies)
  • Major specialization in chosen domain
  • Multidisciplinary minor
  • Project Work (PJ) – Minor and major projects across semesters
  • Internships (INT) – Industry or in-house internship in final year
  • NPTEL/SWAYAM Courses – For select self-learning modules

Credit Assignment Principles

At RCPIT, Shirpur, the academic structure is built on the principles of NEP 2020, emphasizing flexibility, continuous assessment, and outcome-based learning. The institute has adopted a 60:40 evaluation model from AY 2025-26 Batch (admitted in 2025-26) to ensure holistic student development and transparency in performance measurement.

Course Component Credits Assigned Typical Teaching Scheme
Lecture (L) 1 credit per hour/week Typically 3 hours/week
Practical / Lab (P) 0.5 credit per hour/week Typically 2 hours/week
Project / Seminar Variable (2–10 credits) Guided mentoring + execution
Internship Up to 10 credits Based on scope and duration
Self-Study (NPTEL/MOOCs) Up to 3 credits Approved courses with online exam

Total Credits per Semester: Typically ranges from 18 to 23

Total B.Tech Program Credits: ~160 to 180 (including Honors/Minor programs)

Evaluation Criteria (Theory) – 60:40 Pattern

RCPIT offers NEP-aligned version of the Credit Assignment and Evaluation Criteria reflecting the 60:40 assessment pattern

Total Marks per Course: 100

Component Marks Weightage in Final Grade
Teacher Assessment (TA) 25 Included in Continuous Assessment (CA)
Term Test 1 (TT1) 15  
Term Test 2 (TT2) 15  
Average of TT1 & TT2 15  
Total Continuous Assessment (CA) 40 40% of Total Grade
End Semester Exam (ESE) 60 60% of Total Grade
  • Teacher Assessment (TA): Based on assignments, class participation, mini-projects, quizzes, presentation, mock, Codechef certification, innovative work etc.
  • TT1 & TT2: Conducted mid-semester and end semester; average contributes to final internal score.
  • ESE: Final theory exam, 2 hours in duration, covering full syllabus.

Evaluation Criteria (Laboratory)

Total Marks: 50 or 25 Converted to 100 for Grade Calculations

Component 50 Marks 25 Marks
Performance in Lab/Experiment 10 05
Journal & Logbook Submission 10 05
Viva-Voce & Interaction 10 05
Case Study / Assignment 10 05
End-Semester Practical/Oral 10 10
  • Minimum 8 experiments per lab are mandatory.
  • Lab assessments emphasize practical execution, documentation, and analytical thinking.

Key Highlights of the NEP-Aligned 60:40 Evaluation

  • Encourages continuous learning and assessment over rote memorization
  • Integrates project-based, pedagogy
  • Promotes interdisciplinary thinking via Honors/Minor credits
  • Seamless inclusion of online learning (NPTEL, SWAYAM) into formal credits
  • Supports modular certification, portfolio building, and self-assessment

Additional Consideration

  • Continuous Assessment is a core philosophy: student progress is tracked throughout the semester.
  • Internship & Project Evaluation includes mid-term reviews, mentor feedback, and final viva.
  • Students completing NPTEL/SWAYAM courses must either present the official certificate or pass internal assessment.
