6. Instructional system

The Distance Education (DE) system is more learner-oriented, and the

student has to be an active participant in the teaching-learning process.

SMU-DE follows a multi-channel approach for instruction and comprises a

suitable mix of the following.

Printed Self Learning Material (SLM) Face-to-Face counselling at Learning Centres Assignments Online resources

The University follows the Credit System for its program. Each credit is of

30 hours of study comprising all learning activities viz. Self-Study (19 Hrs.),

Face-to-Face (3 Hrs.), EduNxt Online Activity such as attempting Quizzes,

Model Question paper, reading additional support contents (5 Hrs.), and

Assignments (3 Hrs.). Thus, two Credits and four Credits course / subjects

require 60 Hrs. and 120 Hrs. of study time respectively. Credit System helps

the student to understand the academic effort one has to put into

successfully to complete a subject. Completion of the Program requires

successful completion of Assignments (Refer to Section 7.1) and the Term-

End Examination (Refer to Section 7.2) of each subject in the program.

6.1 Print material

Printed materials are the primary form of instructional materials. The

University provides the printed study materials developed to stimulate

independent learning. Such materials are called Self Learning materials

(SLM). On admission/ re-registration to a semester of program, students can

obtain the Self Leaning Materials from their respective Learning

Centre/Study Centre/Program Centre. The Students can obtain the Self

learning materials from their respective authorized Learning Centre/Study

Centre/Program Centre, free of cost. Each SLM comprises several units.

Each unit begins with an introduction in which we tell you about the contents

of the unit. We also outline a list of objectives which we expect you to

achieve after working through the unit. This is followed by the main body of

the unit, which is divided into various sections and sub-sections. We end

each unit by summarising its content. In each unit, there are several Self-


Assessment Questions (SAQs) and Terminal Questions

(TQs)/Activities/Exercises. These are meant to help you to assess your

understanding of the subject/ course contents.

6.2 Counselling sessions

In distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their

tutors/counsellors is relatively less and, therefore, is an important activity.

The purpose of such a contact is to answer some of your questions and

clarify your doubts which may not be possible through any other means of

communication. It also intends to provide you an opportunity to meet your

fellow students. There are academic counsellors at the Learning

Centre/Study Centre/Program Centre to provide counselling and guidance

to you in the course / subjects that you have chosen for study. Normally,

these sessions will be held at the Learning Centre/Study Centre/Program

Centre during week-ends.

You should note that the counselling sessions will be very different from the

classroom teaching or lectures. Counsellors will not be delivering lectures as

in conventional teaching. They will try to help you to overcome difficulties

which you face while studying for the program. In these sessions, you must

try to resolve your subject-based difficulties and any other related problems.

Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your

SLMs and make a plan of the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone

through the units, there may not be much to discuss.

6.3 e-Learning -

SMU-DE provides an opportunity for you to interact with university faculty

and subject matter experts through its e-Learning portal- EduNxt. EduNxt is

the next generation learning system that fully takes advantage of modern

teaching techniques to create a virtual classroom where students come

together to learn from distinguished faculty.

In addition to counselling sessions, University also offers WebEx /Chat

Sessions (Online sessions) for selected course/ subjects through EduNxt.

EduNxt allows you to chat with learners of the same program and faculty

members in real time to clarify subject matter, read faculty blogs, participate

in discussion forums.


Log on to EduNxt portal at http://edunxt.smude.edu.in/ to access BCA -

multimedia content and other resources on the course/subject (Softcopies

of SLMs, PPTs and Quiz session, etc.).

7. Evaluation System

The marks ratio of University Examination or Term End Examination (TEE)

In the examination question paper, there will not be separate demarcation of questions into sections.

5. In special cases, modifications may be made based upon the course/ subject requirements.


6. Clash of exam dates in case of students appearing for OFFLINE exams:

The schedule of examinations is such that every student can appear for

examination in subjects with respect to two semesters, provided the

combination of semesters is odd and even. In some cases, when

students apply for re-appearing in certain course/ subjects, the

examination dates may clash with that of other papers. SUCH

STUDENTS ARE PERMITTED TO APPEAR ONLY IN ANY ONE OF

THE AFFECTED SUBJECTS. NO STUDENT WILL BE PERMITTED TO

APPEAR IN MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT IN A SCHEDULED

SESSION ON A PARTICULAR DAY. If a student appears, or tries to

appear, for the examination in both course/ subjects, the results of both

course/ subjects will be declared as NULL & VOID.

This scenario does not arise in online examinations.

7. The University reserves the right to change the examination pattern

from time to time. The change would be intimated to students well in

advance.

8. Reappearance: There is no provision for improvement by

reappearance in the Term-End Examinations or in the Internal

Assessment once a student is declared to have passed in a paper.

7.2.2 Minimum passing marks

The students are considered as passed in a paper (except for the Final

Semester Project Examination) if they score

35% marks in the Internal Assessment (IA).

35% marks in the Term-End Examination (TEE), and,

40% aggregate of the semester-end Term-End Examination (TEE)

and the Internal Assessment (IA).

Students have to score minimum 40 % marks for project based subjects.

If a student fails in any one component (failure to get 35% marks either

in IA or TEE), then he/she will be required to re-appear for that

component only (IA or TEE as the case may be).

If a student scores 35% marks independently in both IA and TEE

components and fails get 40% in the aggregate, then he/she will be

considered as failed in that course/ subject. Such a student can re-


appear either for both or in any one of the components (IA or TEE) of his

choice.

The students must note that for re-appearing for IA also, the students

have to fill in the Re-sitting Forms.

7.2.3 Classification of successful candidates

A students performance will be evaluated based on both Continuous

Evaluation and Term-End Examination. Student will be awarded grade for

the semester based on the below criteria:

The Grade System (aggregate)

Grade Marks (%)

A Excellent 70 and above

B Very Good 60 69

C Good 50 59

D Satisfactory 40 49

E Failure

7.2.4 Carry-over provision

Please note that since there is a carry-over system for every semester, self-

study should start automatically for the next semester without waiting for the

examination results.

7.2.5 Examination and Result Publication:

The University will conduct term-end examinations at designated

Examination Centres. The term-end examination date and other related

instructions of the examinations will be published well in advance of the

date of examination on the website www.smude.edu.in.

The University reserves the right to change the mode of examination

(from offline to online) from time to time. The change would be intimated

to students well in advance.

NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO APPEAR FOR THE

EXAMINATION WITHOUT AN ADMIT CARD. Admit card is only valid

when accompanied with University photo Identity Card. Learning


Centre/Study Centre/Program Centre are not permitted to issue any

authority letter for appearing in the examination. Learning Centre/Study

Centre/Program Centre should not withhold the admit cards of any

student for any reason.

Admit Cards will be issued only to those students who fulfil the

prerequisites as specified by the University. Admit Cards will be issued

to all fresh and Re-registered students and re-sitting candidates who

have filled up the re-sitting form before the last date specified by the

University. The Admit Card is valid only when produced along with the

photo Identity Card issued by the University.

Candidates are not allowed to bring inside the Examination Hall mobile

phones, calculators, statistical/scientific tables, laptops or any object/

device/ gadget that can offer unfair assistance in answering the

University question papers. However, scientific/ non-programmable

calculators are allowed for specific subjects (as mentioned in the time

table). Possession of mobile phone, even in switched off condition shall

8. Project Guidelines

8.1 Introduction

The basic aim of Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) program is to

prepare the students as Programmers, Systems Analysts, Systems

Designers etc. in the field related to computer science and information

technology. Students can also aspire to go for higher studies in this area.

The course titled Project bearing the subject code BCA6030 is of 12

credits weightage. The project has to be completed in a duration of 360

Hours. The project is part of the BCA program will give an opportunity for

the students a hands on experience in developing quality software

applications. During the development of the project a student should involve

himself in all the stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC) like

requirements analysis, systems design, software development/coding,

testing and documentation, with an overall emphasis on the development of

reliable software systems. The primary emphasis of the project work is to

understand and gain the knowledge of the principles of software engineering

practices, and develops good understanding of SDLC.

Students should take this project work very seriously. Topics selected,

should be appropriate enough to justify as a BCA project. The project should

be genuine and original in nature and should not be copied from anywhere

else.

8.2 Project Work - Phases

Project work will consist of two phases. Phase -1: Project Synopsis Approval

at Learning Centre, Phase -2: Project Design and Development.


Phase 1: Project Synopsis Approval at Learning Centre.

The project synopsis should be prepared in consultation with your guide and

submit to Learning Centre. Learning centre should approve the project

proposal. In this Phase students should identify the hardware and software

requirement for the Project.

Synopsis of project must contain following information:

1. Title of the project

9. General Points

It is the endeavour of the University to upgrade the syllabus keeping in

view the industrial/market requirement so as to impart the latest

technology/developments to the students. It is, therefore, essential to

upgrade the study materials periodically. The University reserves the

right to modify/update the program syllabus. The students are advised

to keep themselves informed about the changes in the syllabus and the

contents of the SLM constantly by visiting the website-

www.smude.edu.in, in addition to being in touch with LC in this regard.

It is important to note that the examinations will be conducted based on

the syllabus and contents applicable in that session. The implication is

that a student, who reappears/re-sits for back paper, will be required to

appear in the examination, which is based on the latest


syllabus/content of the SLM. It is, therefore, imperative that the

student, who fails in a subject, should submit his/her re-sitting

application at the earliest to enable the University to dispatch the

revised edition of the SLM (only in case of revised curriculum).

All the payments shall be made by the students in the form of DD

drawn in favour of Sikkim Manipal University, DE payable at Manipal /

Udupi and with the Name, Roll Number and Centre Code written on the

reverse of the DD. The students are advised to retain the counter foil

and photocopy of the DD with them for their reference. Fees once paid

cannot be refunded.

Legal Disputes, if any, shall come under the jurisdiction of Udupi

(Karnataka).
