University of Delhi South Campus
Department of Electronic Science
Proposed Scheme for M.Sc. Course in Electronics
There shall be an M.Sc. Course in Electronics in the Department of Electronic Science.
The duration of this course will be two years.
No person shall be qualified for admission to the M.Sc. course unless he is 20 years of age before 1st of the October of
the year in which he is seeking admission. Provided that the Vice-Chancellor may, on the basis of individual merit,
relax the age limit upto maximum period of six months.
Examinations, Minimum Pass Marks, Promotion and Classification of Successful Candidates
There shall be FOUR Semester Examinations comprised in the course. The minimum pass marks shall be 40% in each
theory paper and 40% in practical in each of the three semesters (I, II \ III). In IV semester it will be 40% in each theory
papers, 40% in Project/Thesis and 40% in Seminar. Minimum pass marks in Summer Training will also be 40%.
I Semester Examination: On completion of the course of study for the period prescribed therein in
November/December of the first year of the course.
At the end of the first semester a student will be promoted to second semester provided he has not failed in more than
two theory papers and has obtained not less than 40% marks in the aggregate of theory and practicals taken separately.
The student will have to essentially repeat and pass in those theory papers in which he has failed along with the papers
of the second semester. A student who is not promoted to the second semester will have to repeat the first semester as a
regular student as and when it runs in the following July-December session.
II Semester Examination: On completion of the course of study for the period prescribed therein in April/May of the
first year of the course.
At the end of the second semester a student will be promoted to the third semester provided he has passed in all the first
semester papers and has not failed in more than two theory papers of the second semester and has obtained not less than
40% marks in the aggregate of theory and practicals taken separately.
The student will have to essentially repeat and pass in those second semester theory papers in which he has failed along
with the papers of the third semester.
A student who has not passed in all the first semester theory papers at the end of the second semester will be deemed
failed in the first semester and will have to join back in the first semester as a regular student in the following month of
July and repeat both first and second semesters in sequence.
A student who is not promoted to the third semester, but has passed in all the theory papers of the first semester will be
considered pass in the first semester and will have to repeat the second semester as and when it runs in the following
January-May session.
III Semester Examination: On completion of the course of study for the period prescribed therein in
November/December of the second year of the course. At the end of the third semester a student will be promoted to
the fourth semester provided he has passed in all the second semester papers and has not failed in more than two theory
papers of the third semester and has obtained not less than 40% marks in the aggregate of theory and practicals taken
separately. The student will have to essentially repeat and pass in those third semester theory papers in which he has
failed along with the papers of the fourth semester.
A student who has not passed in all the second semester theory papers at the end of the third semester will be deemed
failed in the second semester and will have to join back in the second semester as a regular student in the following
month of January and repeat both second and third semesters in sequence.
A student who is not promoted to the fourth semester, but has passed in all the theory papers of the second semester
will be considered pass in the second semester and will have to repeat the third semester as and when it runs in the
following July-December session.
IV Semester Examination: On completion of the course of study for the period prescribed therein in April/May of the
second year of the course.
At the end of the fourth semester a student will be declared successful provided he has passed in all the third semester
papers and has obtained not less than 40% marks in the aggregate of theory, project/thesis and seminar taken
separately.
If the end of the fourth semester a student has passed in all the third semester papers and has not failed in more than
two theory papers of the fourth semester and has obtained not less than 40% marks in the aggregate of theory,
project/thesis and seminar taken seperately, the student will have to essentially repeat and pass in those fourth semester
theory papers in which he has failed during the semester exams held in the following November/December.
A student who has not passed in all the third semester theory papers at the end of the fourth semester will be deemed
failed in the third semester and will have to join back in the third semester as a regular student in the following month
of July and repeat both third and fourth semesters in sequence.
A student who has not passed the fourth semester, but has passed in all the theory papers of the third semester will be
considered pass in the third semester and will have to repeat the fourth semester as and when it runs in the following
January-May session.
At the end of the fourth semester the successful candidates shall be classified on the basis of marks obtained as I, II and
III division; 60% and above I division, 50% to less than 60% II division, 40% to less than 50% III division.
NOTE: A student who is deemed failed in any semester will join as a regular student over and above the allocated seats
for the course Attendance in two-thirds of the theory classes and three-fourths of the practical classes is compulsory,
failing which the student will not be allowed to appear in the examination.
Each Semester calendar will ensure a minimum of 40 lectures in each theory course of study.
In each theory paper 20 percent of marks are reserved for Sessional Tests, which will be awarded as the average of two
best of three tests conducted by the teacher.
Students will be required to go for Industrial Training for two months in Summer Vacation between IInd and IIIrd
Semester.
The total span period for the course will be four years.
A student’s admission will be treated as cancelled if he is absent for two weeks continuously from the date of
admission.
