Important Rules for Students Regarding Examination & Registration etc.
It is a matter of great pride that Vishwakarma Institute of Technology Pune, is now an Autonomous Institute. The Indian Education is typically centered around an affiliation system in which many colleges are affiliated to a University and the University in turn, prescribes the Academic Calendar, Design the courses of study, Conduct Exams, Does the assessment and declares the results. However, as the number of colleges affiliated to the university increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for the university authorities to meticulously monitor the performance of an individual college and maintain the academic standards.

At the same time it also becomes difficult to cater to the needs of all the students, since the expectations of the students are different and meeting requirement of one category of student fails to address the needs of the other class of students and vice versa.
The Indian Government and the University Grants Commission, New Delhi and University of Pune were very seriously thinking to resolve such a situation. Finally in the Tenth Plan it was decided to award Autonomy to the 10% of the top institutes in the country. It is also seen that the top institutes in the world and in the country are autonomous Institutes like the IITs and NITs etc.
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology Pune, was working in this direction since last five years and were geared up to become autonomous to deliver quality Engineering Education to its Students. Various committees visited the institute and after rigorous quality checks at very step, University Grants Commission and the University of Pune conferred autonomous status to the institute in February 2008.
Autonomy has allowed the institute to impart quality engineering education to the students in the best possible manner. The major changes done by the institute under Autonomy are as follows

1• The Curriculum has been designed with the help of the industry, to meet the demands of the latest trends in the industry.

2• The academic calendar is well defined and there is scope for all types of activities including Curricular, Co-Curricular, and Extra Curricular. The students have also been provided with refreshing summer and winter breaks which will also help them to study additional courses and undergo industrial training and projects.

3• The Examination is based on Continuous assessment which includes Class Tests, Mid Semester Test, End Semester Test and Assessment by Teacher. The Assessment and revaluation Process is  completely transparent and the students can see their answer books and  receive  suggestions (if any) by the respective subject teachers.

4• Credit and Relative Grading systems is internationally compatible and it shifts the focus from exam oriented studies to learning.

5• The institute now declares its own results on behalf of the university and after successful completion of the program the university awards the degree on the recommendation of the Institute.

The highlights of the Curriculum designed by the institute are

1• Interdisciplinary approach by way of interdisciplinary subjects, Electives and Projects

2• Track Module helps the students to choose a mini specialization in his Branch

3• Flexibility to choose subjects by the way of disciplinary, inter-disciplinary Professional Development, General Proficiency subjects and Open Electrives.

4• Professional Development Subjects in Second and third year bridges the gap between industry and institutes. What makes the subjects more attractive is that some of the courses are directly offered by the industry.

5• General Proficiency Subjects helps improve the overall personality of the student and helps inculcate other personality traits such as street smartness, Communication skills, spoken English etc. A lot of option is available to the students to choose subjects from four categories viz Skills, Hobby, Health and International Languages.

The institute is also working on introducing more flexibility to choose the subjects in coming years.

I wish that all the students will enjoy the system developed by the institute and therefore we have named it the Joyful learning Model. I wish all my students a Joyful learning and good luck in their academic endeavors.
