ATTENDANCE,
PROGRESS AND PROMOTION
To
check the progress of the students, written, oral or
practical tests are
held during each semester; the marks thus
obtained contribute to
the evaluation
of the candidate's performance during the
semester and, later
on, for
the entire programme.
Admission may be refused to
a candidate
for a
subsequent semester if his/her progress and/or
attendance during
the term
has been
unsatisfactory; in any case, the candidate will not
be sent up for the Final Examination unless, in
the opinion of the Principal, he/she has completed the
programme satisfactorily.
REGULAR ATTENDANCE
as a necessary condition of eligibility to examinations,
and PUNCTUALITY,
as training for business life, will be strictly enforced
in the Institute.
Prospective
candidates, all students and their parents (or
guardians) should take careful note of the above
regulations and realise that the
Authorities will insist on their application. In
such matters the decision of the Principal is final and
no complaint will be entertained if a student fails, for
any reason whatsoever, to reach
that standard
which, in
the opinion of the Principal, is
required of
a student to be allowed to appear for the Final
Examination.
RULES
CONCERNING CONDUCT, PROGRESS, ETC.
1.
In order
that each student may enjoy the full
benefits of
the facilities
placed at
his/her disposal, he/she has to abide
by the regulations of
the Institute. They
are designed solely to
safeguard the student's welfare and privileges and those of his/her
fellow students, and
each student
will therefore
be expected
to conduct
himself/herself accordingly.
2.
Students are expected to behave with decorum, to
obey the regulations
of the Institute in all aspects and to pay due
respect to
its Faculty
and Subordinate Officials.
Conduct inconsistent with
general good
order, or
persistent neglect of work
or failure to
respond promptly to official notices may be
punished with dismissal.
3.
Loud speaking
, loitering or congregating in
the corridors
and staircases
is a source of distraction and annoyance
to others and
is therefore
not permitted.
4.
Smoking is
not permitted
on the premises even before
or after
class periods.
5.
Students must realise at the very beginning of
their programme/ course
that the habit (often acquired in school and college) of studying
seriously only in the last month before the
Examinations cannot be tolerated in an Institute of
Engineering and Technology.
Daily study
is necessary.
The aim of a student should be to become an
efficient Engineer
or Technician and not merely to pass examinations
or acquire a Diploma or Certificate.
6.
Students are required to attend punctually all scheduled
class and
laboratory periods.
Irregular attendance,
habitual tardiness
or inattentiveness may lead to dismissal.
Five consecutive days of absence without reasonable excuse will constitute
enough cause for
dismissal. Absence
must be justified by a note from Parent (or Guardian) or
a medical certificate.
7.
When a student prematurely terminates his/her
training, whatever
be the reason, or has been dismissed from the
Institute, or has to
leave because
of unsatisfactory
progress and/attendance, any fees
already paid to the Institute, including the
caution money, will be forfeited.
8.
In case of damage to
furniture, apparatus or other property
of the Institute, the
cost of
repairs will be charged to
the student
responsible for the damage.
9.
The Certificate for completion of the Programme is
issued only
to those students who appear for the Final
Examinations in all subjects and are declared successful and at the same time all the dues to the Institute have
been paid.
10.
In all matters concerning the Institute's administration
and regulations
the decision of the Principal is final
and applicants are
accepted only after they undertake (in the
Application Form for Admission)
to abide by these
rules and regulations and others
made from time to time.
AUTONOMOUS
DIPLOMA RULES
In
June 1994 the Government granted
autonomy to St. Xavier’s Technical Institute.
At that time the Institute introduced the
Multi-Point Entry and Credit System (MPECS).
As
an autonomous Institute, the curricula of the various
programmes can be up-dated
frequently with the fast changes of technology. The Institute has its own Governing Council and Board of
Studies to examine and approve such changes.
Whereas
a common complaint about technical education is that it
lags far behind current technology and teaches much that
is obsolete, this academic autonomy allows St.
Xavier’s to keep its content up-to-date with the
latest in technology.
From
June 1998, the Institute has introduced the Competency
Based Education (CBE) System.
The curricula were completely revised based on
the competencies required by industries as determined by
many meetings and 3 conferences held with industry
experts. This
changed the focus of our Diplomas to a combination of
needed theory with stronger emphasis on practical
applications.
The
Multi-Point Entry System allows students from different backgrounds
to enter at different points of a Diploma programme. Thus a student who has studied
more than the minimum qualification required can be
awarded exemptions in subjects he/she has
already covered.
The details of available exemptions for different
levels of entry are available separately.
The
Credit System allows a student to select from several elective
subjects which are offered at various times, together
with the compulsory subjects to earn the total credits
required for the award of a Diploma (Total Credits for
DERE : 140; for DEVE : 210, for ADCSSAA : 34).
In
the Standard Path a student covers the given subjects at a standard
pace that is meant for normal students.
However, brilliant students may opt to cover the
required credits faster; or students who need more time
can go through total credits required at a slower pace.
At
each semester examination a student can choose to
register for the course he/she desires. The maximum number of courses a student can register for at a
single examination is 10.
A
student can keep terms for the next Semester while
holding a backlog
of upto 5 courses of previous Semesters.
The
detailed examination rules under the autonomous system
are available at the General Office. These include
minimum required attendance, requirements for admission
to examinations, marks given to Theory Paper, Internal
Assessment (Periodic Tests) and Practicals, grace marks,
condonation and classes awarded.
HOSTEL
Due
to unavoidable circumstances no hostel
accommodation can be
provided at present by the Institute.
Candidates applying for
admission to the Institute
must make their own arrangements for
boarding and
lodging.
LIBRARY
The
Library is open to the Staff and students of the
Institute.
All
are encouraged to make
good use of the Library and for the
benefit of all, the following rules will be
observed:
1.
Library books will be issued to our Institute students
only on
presentation of the Identity Card, and after the
proper form has been
signed.
2.
STUDENTS MUST, ON RECEIVING BOOKS, EXAMINE THEM AND
IMMEDIATELY REPORT TO THE LIBRARIAN ANY DAMAGE
FOUND IN THEM. IF
THEY FAIL TO DO
SO, THEY WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE
THAT MAY BE
DETECTED LATER.
3.
If the book or magazine is returned to the
Library soiled, torn or in
a bad condition, the Librarian has the right to
reject the book;
the total cost of which will be charged to the student.
If the book is not rejected, a fine will be charged
equivalent to
the damage done.
4.
Books issued from the Library may be kept for
seven consecutive
days only, (or less, in the case of books much in
demand). No student
will be allowed to have more than two
books in his/her keeping.
5.
Although a student is allowed the use of books
for seven days, he/she
is expected to return them as soon as he/she does
not need them,
for the benefit of other students who may be
waiting for them.
6.
If a
student, for any reason whatever fails to return
books or
magazines, in
due time, a fine of Re. 1.00 will be charged
per book per day of delay.
For the purpose of this rule, Sundays
and holidays
are counted.
7.
Library fines due to the Institute shall be paid
to the Librarian
in cash and a receipt
obtained.
