Engineering and Technology

1. Introduction:

As per the AICTE’s Approval Process Handbook-2020-21: Chapter VII- clause 7.3.2 (Page 99-101), all
branches of Engineering and Technology shall offer Elective Courses in the EMERGING AREAS viz.,
Artificial Intelligence (AI),

Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, Robotics, Quantum Computing, Data Sciences, Cyber Security,
3D Printing and Design, Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality (AR/VR), as specified in Annexure 1 of
the Approval Process Handbook.

a) Under Graduate Degree Courses in EMERGING AREAS shall be allowed as specialization from the
same Department. The minimum additional Credits for such Courses shall be in the range of 18-
20 and the same shall be mentioned in the degree, as specialization in that particular area. For
example, doing extra credits for Robotics in Mechanical Engineering shall earn B.E./ B.Tech.
(Hons.) Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Robotics
b) Minor specialization in EMERGING AREAS in Under Graduate Degree Courses may be allowed
where a student of another Department shall take the minimum additional Credits in the range
of 18-20 and get a

degree with minor from another Department.

It is also made very clear by AICTE that areas in which Minor Degree/Honours may be offered are
numerous. It is up to the Universities with the help of their Academic Board/Council to decide
whether Minor Degree/Hons. is to be offered or not in any particular area, which is not mentioned
above. AICTE approval is not required for offering Minor Degree/Hons. in any such area, however
the criteria that “Minor Degree or Hons. will cumulatively require additional 18 to 20 credits in the
specified area in addition to the credits essential for obtaining the Under Graduate Degree in Major
Discipline (i.e. 160 credits)”

2. Proposed Honours and Minor Degree:

Honours and Minor degree program is introduced in order to facilitate the students to choose
additionally the specialized courses in the emerging areas of their choice and build their competence
in such domains. Based on AICTE guidelines, the Faculty of Science and Technology has proposed to
offer following Honours/ Minor degree program corresponding to each engineering program:

18 Industrial Automation

Note: The Honours and Minor degree programs selection for each of the engineering programs offered
in University of Mumbai is as given in Table 2.

3. Honours and Minor Degree Eligibility Criteria for Students:

In view of the above-mentioned guidelines issued by AICTE in APH 2020-21 for offering Honours and
Minor degree in the various engineering programs, the following recommendations are proposed on
the eligibility criteria for students opting for same;

i) Eligibility criteria for opting the Honours/ Minor Degree program:

a. Students with no backlog in semester I, II, and III
b. The CGPI (based on semester I, II, and III) of the students must be 6.75 and above
c. For direct second year (DSE) admitted students - No backlog in semester III and CGPI must be
6.75 and above
ii) Each eligible student can opt for maximum one Honour’s or one Minor Programs at any time.
iii) However, it is optional for students to take Honours/Minor degree program.
iv) The Honours/ Minor degree program can be opted only during regular engineering studies
v) The student shall complete the Honours/ Minor degree program in stipulated four semesters only.

4. Honours and Minor Degree Program Scheme and Structure:

Honours and Minor degree program be offered from academic year 2022-23 onwards along with
Rev 2019 ‘C’ scheme syllabus.

4
 Honours and Minor credit courses will be offered from Semester V onwards to Semester VIII

5. Eligibility criteria for Department/Institute to offer Honours/Minor degree:

As the intention of offering the Honours degree program is to facilitate the advanced learners to build
their competence in emerging areas with additional in-depth course work, it becomes very essential
to ensure availability of such expert faculties and infrastructure with the departments and institutes.
The proposed modality of approval is self-assessment and declaration basis. Institute can assess on
following points before offering Honours/Minor degrees,

1. The Honours Degree program out of 18 programs listed in Table-1 can only be offered by
an institute having the regular degree program running as specified in Table 2 column B.

2. Availability of Faculty expertise in domains of Honours/Minor degree programs

a. Regular faculty on institute role who has completed PhD/Masters in same domain.
OR

b. Regular faculty on institute role who is doing research either sponsored by government
agencies or industries or trusts.
OR

c. Regular faculty on institute role who has successfully completed certificate course in
same domain and able to deliver the expectations of specialisation in emerging areas.

3. Availability of laboratory infrastructure/facilities in domains of Honours /Minor degree

a. Established centre of excellence in same domain.
OR

b. Built research facilities to facilitate research in emerging areas

OR

c. Minimum facility is already developed to conduct hands on experience in chosen

domains of Hons and Minor degrees.

Institute shall submit declaration of availability of expertise of faculty members and laboratory
facilities to offer Hons/Minor degree to University well in advance (i.e before announcement of
admission) for same to the Academic Authorities.

The verification of declaration of institute shall be done by LIC committees visiting for affiliation
purpose or academic audit purpose.

6. Examination and Evaluation of Honours/Minor Degree Courses:

In current scenario First Year and Final Year of engineering examinations, assessments and result
declaration are entirely done by University, while as in Second and Third Year question papers are
delivered by University, assessment and results preparation and declaration after approval from
university is done by Institute on behalf of University following all ordinances and regulations of

5
 university. Hons/Minor degrees courses will be offered in Third and Final Year of engineering as
specialisation in emerging areas.

By keeping in mind availability of expertise of faculty with particular Institute only, proposed
following modalities of Examination and Evaluation,

a. The continuous assessment and End Sem. Examination (ESE) evaluation shall follow the same
pattern as adopted for corresponding semester stated by the University.
b. Question paper will be set and delivered to institutes by University for all Hons/Minor degree
c. End semester Assessment will be done as per the laid down practices by following all applicable
ordinances and regulations of university
d. Hons/Minor degree courses can be treated as Audit type of courses, wherein passing marks set
will be 40. If any student scored equal or more than passing marks in particular course can be
declared as pass.
e. Grading of courses offered under Hons/Minor degree shall be avoided and also not included in
overall CUMMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE, to bring parity with all students admitted for the
basic program.
f. Hons/Minor degree shall be conferred in addition to basic degree only after successfully
completion of all courses
g. University can make provision for entering pass or fail in course offered under Hons/Minor degree
on portal.

7. Award of Honours / Minor Degree:

The students successfully completing the Honours / Minor Degree shall be awarded with
the degree designated as: “B. E. in ………(regular) Engineering with Honours/Minor in ……..
(specialization)”

Example 1: Students s successfully completing BE in Computer Engineering with

specialization (Honours) in Cyber Security shall get a degree as “B.E. in Computer
Engineering (Honours- Cyber Security) ”

Example 2: Students successfully completing BE in Computer Engineering with

specialization (Minor) in Electric Vehicles shall get a degree as “B.E. in Computer
Engineering (Minor - Electric Vehicles)”
