A. OBJECTIVES:
a) The objectives of this course are to make students familiar with the fundamental concepts of chemistry.
b) This course provides the students with a strong background of the chemistry of engineering materials and shows how
these concepts are applied to petroleum and petrochemical industries.
c) This course helps in creating quality human resources to enhance the productivity of the existing petroleum and
petrochemical industries which provide cost effective substitute of natural products, which not only help conserving our
natural resources but also spur economic growth
d) The entire module will enable our students as a future petroleum/gas engineer or technologist for solving problems
faced by the petroleum industries and giving new dimensions to the petroleum products.

I)

Internal Assessment Record Sheet (Including Mid Term Examination Marks) will be displayed on LMS at the end
of semester i.e. last week of regular classroom teaching.
1-CLASS TESTS/QUIZZES: Two Common Class tests based on descriptive type theoretical & numerical questions
and two Quizzes may be held. One common class test at least ten days before the Mid Term Examination and
second common class test at least ten days before the End Term Examination. Those who do not appear in
common class tests shall lose their marks.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS/ NOTICE BOARD a week before the start of Mid
Term and End Term Examinations respectively.

2-ASSIGNMENTS: After completion of each unit or in the mid of the unit, there will be home assignments based on
theory and numerical problems. Those who fail to submit the assignments by the due date shall lose their
marks. At least two assignments will be given during the semester.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS/ NOTICE BOARD after each submission and
subsequent evaluation.

3-GENERAL DISCIPLINE: Based on students attendance, regularity, punctuality, sincerity and behavior in the
class.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS/ NOTICE BOARD at the end of semester.

GUIDELINES
Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic communication devices (such as
Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned
off in the class room.
E-Mail and LMS: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a pass word to access the LMS system regularly.
Regularly, important information Date of conducting class tests, guest lectures, via LMS. The best way to arrange meetings

with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments preferably should be uploaded on
LMS. Various research papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on LMS time to time.
Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject. Students with less than said
percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester examination.

Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 30%/40% marks of the highest marks in the class scored by a
student in that subject (in that class/group class) individually in both the End-Semester examination and Total
Marks in order to pass in that paper.

Passing Criterion for B. Tech: minimum 30% of the highest marks in the class

Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class
