Mentorship at Mangalayatan University

The mentorship at Mangalayatan University is an across the board phenomenon

as it spans across all the institutes of the university. It aims at providing one
to one care and all round guidance to students enrolled at Mangalayatan
University, the mentor being their own teacher. Mentor of a student is just like a
Teacher- Guardian to him.

Each teacher of the university will be appointed as the mentor of selected group
of students from his institute. So, every student will have a mentor appointed for
him or her out of the faculty members of the institute concerned.

Mentor a teacher guardian, his role from a student’s perspective The role of a
mentor from a student’s point of view amply reflects from his teacher- guardian
character. He is in a way the teacher and guardian embodied in one body
and soul with a sole aim to ensure all round, long-lasting and sustainable
development of the student being mentored by him. However, here an attempt is
being made to more vividly portray the dimensions and virtues of the mentorship
at Mangalayatan University.

As a student moves to university from the college, several important changes

also accompany him related to the new and competitive higher education
environment and at times he finds himself in need of guidance and counselling,
fortunately, a mentor is there as a torch bearer.

1. Mentor is like a monitor who monitors all activities of a student.

2. The basic aim of such monitoring is to foster all round development of

the mentee.

3. The all-round development of a mentee can only be ensured if the learning

process is smooth and free from all kind of worries and unwanted
physical, mental and emotional hindrances.

4. The mentor is there to take stalk of all such issues and resolve them well
before they assume threatening and career destroying dimensions for a
student.

5. A mentee may encounter a host of problems ranging from behavioural

and attitudinal to academics and professional performance.

6. Mentoring is a long-term phenomenon and it encompasses in it not only

the issues related to classroom learning but also those related to external
environment.

4
7. Companies are looking for the corporate citizens whom they can fit into
various positions so as to run the business in an ethical manner. The
mentors at Mangalayatan University would enable their mentee to instil
such ethical character in their behaviour which will help them grow as
corporate citizens with professional skills.

To draw maximum benefit from Mentorship, there are certain things which a
student will have to take care of

1. Do not hesitate to share your problem with the Mentor.

2. Though mentor will meet at least once in 15 days with the mentee,
however, it will be more worthwhile that mentee also facilitates such
meeting in case the mentor is preoccupied with certain other tasks.

3. Mentor will keep sharing his observations about the progress of the
mentee with his parents and it is the responsibility of the mentee to
provide correct information about the phone number, e-mail etc of his
parents.

4. Mentor will submit a feedback report to the Director/Dean/HOD of

the institute. Following are the parameters of such a report: Academics-
G-Good (Above Average), S- Satisfactory (Average), NS- Not satisfactory
with one or more backs Attendance- G-Good (Above 75%), S-Satisfactory
(75%), NS- Not Satisfactory (Below 75%)

5. Mentor may record his observation about any other aspect/ area, he
deems fit.

6. A separate note will be attached for any of the items in the feedback
report for the purpose mentioned in point number 4

7. Proper Mentorship can act as a catalyst to take the career trajectory of a

student in most appropriate direction. However, mentor too needs inputs
to see to it that this task is achieved in an efficient manner, so it becomes
the responsibility of the mentee to not only to frankly share the problem,
he is encountering but also provide correct information to the mentor as
valuable inputs.

Regulations Governing Academic Evaluation
under CGPA Scheme
1. Introduction
The CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) system of evaluation which has
built-in continuous and comprehensive evaluation shall be adopted for all
programmes offered by the University. In this system, a student is awarded
a letter grade based on his/her performance in a subject over the semester
relative to the performance of other students in that subject. These letter grades
will also carry a numeric equivalent termed as grade point. The grade point
multiplied by the credits of the subject gives the grade points earned by a
student in a given subject. The weighted average of the grade points earned
by a student in a semester is termed as GPA of the student in that semester.
The weighted average of the GPAs of all semesters completed by the student is
termed as the CGPA of the student at that point. The CGPA on completing all
the semesters and all credits for all semesters of the course will be termed as the
CGPA of the student in the course/programme. The system is discussed in detail
in the subsequent sections.

2. Curriculum/Program of Study
2.1. Curriculum: Every Department offering a course has a prescribed course
structure which in general terms is known as Curriculum. It prescribes courses
to be studied in each semester. The courses of study bulletin will be updated
at regular intervals and made available on University web site for all courses
offered by the University.

2.2. Course Credit System: In general a certain quantum of work (learning)

measured in terms of credits is laid down as the requirement for a particular
degree. The student acquires credits by passing courses every semester, the
number of credits associated with a subject being dependent upon the number
of hours of instruction per week in that subject. In general, credits for a subject
are obtained by using a multiplier of unit (1) for lecture and tutorial hour per
week throughout the semester, and a multiplier of half (0.5) for laboratory
hours per week throughout the semester. Thus, for example, a theory subject
having 3 lectures and one tutorial per week throughout the semester carries
four credits. Similarly, a laboratory subject having two laboratory hours per
week throughout the semester carries one credit. Credits will also be assigned
to Practical Training, Seminars and Projects etc.

9
2.3. Credits requirement and normal duration for courses: A student has to earn
a minimum number of credits to get a particular degree. The detailed break-up
of subject-wise credits will be specified in the courses of study. Normally each
semester (90 clear teaching days) will be of 16-30 credits depending on the
programme. Minimum number of credits to be earned by a student to get a
degree and the normal duration for such courses will be as follows:

2.4. Semesters – Odd, Even & Summer (Extra): The University will follow a
credits-based semester system. There will be two semesters in a year. The
semester that begins in July/Aug will be known as Odd Semester and the
Semester that begins in January as Even Semester. During the summer vacation
i.e. (May-July), there will be an additional semester known as Summer Semester
or Extra Semester for summer courses, Self-study courses (subject to availability
and consent of faculty), and students with attendance shortage during normal
semester etc. to provide an opportunity to clear backlog courses. The details
about conduct of Summer (Extra) Semester are given in Section 6.

3. Attendance Requirement
3.1. Requirement for Odd/Even Semesters: A student must maintain an
attendance of at least 75% in each subject. Any student not fulfilling the above
requirement will not be allowed to appear in the end-semester examination
and will be detained. He/she will have to repeat the course and fulfil the
attendance requirement before being allowed to appear for the end-semester
examination.

3.2. Requirement for Summer (Extra) Semester: A student must maintain a

minimum of 75% attendance in each subject for which he/she has registered in
the extra semester. Any student not fulfilling the above requirement will not be
allowed to sit in the end-semester examination for that subject. However, he/
she will be allowed to appear in the other subject(s) registered for, in which the
requirement of attendance was fulfilled earlier. A student can also register for
improvement to enhance his marks.

3.3. Special Condonation: In exceptional cases, the shortage of attendance

may be condoned by the Vice Chancellor up to a maximum of 10% of the total
number of classes held for the subject. This will be done strictly on Medical
grounds or on extreme compassionate grounds. For condonation on medical
grounds, the medical certificate will be from a hospital and will be scrutinized
by a committee appointed by the University. Such certificates must be submitted
to the Dean/HoD within a week of return to the Institute. Certificates submitted
after the said period shall not be entertained on any account.

10
4. Assessment and Examination
4.1. Assessment Procedure: All courses undertaken by students will be
evaluated using a system of continuous assessment. The students will be
evaluated on class/tutorial participation, assignment work, laboratory work,
class tests, quizzes and sessional examinations which together will constitute
the In-Semester Assessment. In addition, the students will also have to appear
in the end-semester examination in all the theory subjects as per the course of
study. 30% weightage will be for in-semester assessment and 70% for end-
semester exam. The detailed procedure of evaluation and award of grades is
discussed below:

4.2. In-Semester Assessment: The weightage for the In-Semester assessment

through the various modes listed above will normally be as follows:

There will be two in-semester (sessional) examinations of one-hour duration

for each theory subject to be held as per the schedule fixed in the Academic
Calendar. The in-semester examinations for the theory subjects will normally
be conducted for 30 marks and the standard of questions should normally be
equivalent to those set in the end-semester examination.

If a student is detained due to shortage of attendance in a subject, he/she will

not be awarded any in-semester assessment for the subject.

The in-semester assessment in laboratory subjects will be once in a semester of

two hour duration along for each practical lab.

The in-semester assessment in case of drawing subjects (e.g. Engineering

Graphics, Mechanical drawing etc.) will be based on class work, assignments
and mid-term tests/sessional.

4.3. End-semester Examination: It is mandatory for the students to appear in

the end-semester examination to be eligible for evaluation of grades. The end-
semester examination will be conducted centrally by the University. Papers will
be examined by Internal examiners (preferably the subject teachers). However,
for evaluation of projects and theses, external examiners may be invited.

4.4. Grading System: For every subject taken by a student he/she is awarded
a grade based on his/her overall performance over the semester in that subject.
These grades are described by the letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, F, S, U, UFM, Dt.,
Ab each of which not only indicates a qualitative assessment of the student’s
performance but also carries a quantitative (numeric) equivalent called the
grade point as given below:

11
Grade O A+ A B+ B C S U UFM Dt. Ab F
Grade 9.0 - 8.0 - 7.0 - 6.0 - 5.0 - 4.0 - S a t - U n - Unfair D e - A b - <4.0
Value 10.0 <9.0 <8.0 <7.0 <6.0 <5.0 isfac- satis- means tained sent
tory f a c -
tory

4.5. Regarding the students appearing for back papers, the cut-off of the
previous semester papers will be taken as cut-off for grades.

4.6. For subjects which are not there in the previous semester and the
examination is held only for back papers or for the subjects offered in the extra
semester, criteria used will be the same as used in the last regular examination
held for that subject.

4.7. Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called
GPA (Grade Point Average).
The GPA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the subjects
taken by the student during the semester.
An up to date assessment of the overall performance of a student since the
time he joined the course is obtained by calculating a number called CGPA.
The CGPA is weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the subjects
studied by the student since he joined the course. The CGPA will also be
calculated at the end of every semester to two decimal places and will be
indicated on grade reports.
GPA and CGPA can be calculated by the following equations:
GPA
Grade points in a subject: Grade achieved by the student in that subject x
Credits for that subject.

S = sum of grade points for the student for the semester. C = total number of
credits for the semester GPA = S/C
CGPA
Semester grade points = GPA x C
Stotal = Sum of semester grade points for all semesters completed at the point.
Ctotal = Sum of credits of all semesters completed at the point
CGPA = Stotal/Ctotal
