Course fee and examination fee will be fixed by RUTRONIX from time to time. Candidates should remit the examination fee as and when notified.
Re-admission Rules:

Students who discontinue the course after the commencement of the classes and who are not eligible to appear for the examination due to shortage of attendance can get admitted to the same semester on request as per the existing terms and conditions of RUTRONIX on condition that the candidate shall study the course and attend examination as per the scheme and syllabi of the course to which he/she is re-admitted.
Certification:

Progress of the trainees is evaluated on their performance in theory and practical. An appropriate grading system is employed in the assessment of performance. Certificate will be issued to all successful students. Students who score a minimum of 40% marks in the final examination and 50% overall average ( internal and final marks put up together) alone would be declared successful. Those who failed to get 1

50% average should register for subjects in which the average mark is less than 50% (in that particular subject). In such cases the new mark alone will be considered for declaring results.

Note:
1. Scholarship will be provided to eligible female & male applicants as per norm set forth by RUTRONIX. Others are required to pay the specified course fee. Scholarship amount shall be changed and will be communicated to ATCs and students then and there or before the admission notification of a particular batch. 2. Syllabus ,Scheme of examination etc. will be changed as decided by RUTRONIX from time to time

Rules and regulations of conduct of class/examination: 1. Instructional duration in an academic year: Each semester consists of a minimum of 20 weeks of instruction, including intervening holidays and excluding period of examinations and study holidays. 2. The course will follow a semester pattern, with an end semester examination, conducted by RUTRONIX. 3. Classes will be held on all week days at 3 hours per day and thereby a minimum of 19 hours per week.

Paper VII Software Project (60 hrs ) V.SOFTWARE PROJECT DIRECTIVES Every student should submit a project report on the concerned ATC approved topic at the end of final semester. The project report must be based on the software developed on any ATC approved topic in any of the programming languages covered under the CTDC curriculum. The project must be of relevance and has to be adaptable to a live environment. A group of 5 students can form a team to commence a project. It is intimated to the teacher (project guide) and initial planning is done in consultation with the project guide. The project begins with identifying the application area and the associated problems. The data involved in the processing and the information to be attained are recognized and procedures or steps are derived. The students explore possibilities of co-operative and collaborative learning and apply their problem solving skills. The students are constantly in touch with the project guide throughout the stages of project work. A project diary is to be maintained by each group and the activities are to be recorded, which will be helpful in preparing project report. After designing and testing the software, it should be verified by the project guide and preparation of project report with the specified format is begun. The software project to be submitted has to be recorded in binding (at least a spiral bind) and is to comply with a definite sequence as mentioned below. Each of the group members should have a copy of the report and one copy for a group should be submitted to the ATC which will be kept in the library for reference. A soft copy of the project report for a group, has to be submitted to RUTRONIX on a

14

compact disk, mentioning the names of team members and the ATC they belong to. The project report held by the student and its softcopy have to be produced for verification during practical examination. Evaluation of the projectapplication and its concerned project report will be done by RUTRONIX for a maximum of 100 marks. Project Work --Evaluation Indicators ( distribution of marks) 1. Problem Study & Planning 2. Input, Output, and file design (Specifying the screen layouts for input /output design, File designing, if necessary) 3.

VI. Specific guidelines from PGDCA/PDCA/DCA project work

RUTRONIX

regarding

ATCs are requested to ensure that the students take up Projects which will groom them to take up useful Projects in future. Ideally, the Project should involve database operations, adding new records, editing existing records, searching for particular records, creating reports/showing details according to various needs etc. The front end can be in any language they have learnt like VB, VB.Net, C++, Java, PHP etc. The data base can be Excel, MS Access, SQL, MySQL etc. All Projects should be demonstrated and should be working satisfactorily. Students will be required to make alterations to the program at the time of examination & students should be able to do this. It is compulsory to give a hardcopy (printed) of the program as well as in CD. Mere Screen Shots will not be sufficient. The following points must be kept in mind while preparing the Project Report. Description of well known general facts should be strictly avoided. Avoid describing about the software used like Windows, Linux, VB, VB.Net, C++, Java, MySQL, Excel Access etc. If at all necessary, briefly mention why a particular Data Base or Programming Language was selected (not exceeding one page each). The description should be brief and in your own language. Avoid unnecessary verbose. A brief description of the project may be given just to bring out its salient features. All students in their final semester and who intend to do the project are requested to send the following details before -------------(date), giving the

16

following details. (Only one set need be sent for a batch, if a group is doing the project). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Title Students in the Group Guide User agency or Academic Exercise Data Base Front End Language.

VII. Lab record-guidelines :

Students of various courses shall be instructed to maintain one Lab record per Semester by including all practical oriented subjects included in the respective curriculum. Lab record can be issued from the ATC after collecting reasonable cost. Lab records duly certified by the respective subject teachers, should be produced for evaluation during final lab examination 1 For programming subjects like C++, Java, VB & VB.Net, necessary algorithm or flowchart for each problem shall be neatly described before documenting the source code. 2 For modules Input / Output specifications during program testing shall be Screen printed and pasted in the record book. in Office Suite and DTP (word processing, spread sheet, presentation, database management and page maker, Corel draw, photo shop ) ,suitable application level problems for developing respective skills shall be given by the subject teachers. For every such problem, when writing in to the record:

Commands to be used (various methods like using menu, keyboard, tool bar), steps to be followed, other specific information relating to the problem (if any) etc. are to be neatly documented.

Input and output documents shall be printed and pasted into the record after each assignment.

17

All students should be compulsorily directed to create an e-mail id

during their practical training session on Internet services and the email id thus created along with the procedure must be written on the Lab record.
