2.0 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED ENGINEERING PROGRAMME (Full Time in Flexible Time Mode in Open University Pattern) 2.1 INTRODUCTION
In India, a student who passes the 10+2 examination with Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics as subjects of study in the +2 level can gain admission to full time engineering degree program. Lateral entry directly to the 2nd year of the engineering program, up to the extent of 10% of the available seats, is also possible for 3 year Diploma holders. There is a lower and upper age limit for admission to these engineering programs as well a time limit for completing the program. Additionally, 4 year Part time Degree program is also offered by some Universities for the Diploma Holders. This program, however, does not have any age limits. The present system does not offer ample opportunities to a large number of 10+ITI pass students / vocational trades ( 2 years duration), B.Sc(PCM). B.Sc.(IT), BCS, BCA, as well as Diploma Holders to advance their careers, as these Diploma/Certificate in Engineering are unable to acquire higher Technical Education at a later stage in their careers or even immediately after acquiring first degree/ Diploma /Certificate owing to a number of constraints. More over there is limited scope for enhancing the technical skill for the youths who are employed in Industries. On the other hand, many bright students miss the opportunity to enter an engineering college after passing out from 10+2 system due to factors such as weak socio - economic condition in the family, lack of awareness due to limited access to information and low accessibility of higher technical education in rural area and small towns. The recent growth in the Indian economy has triggered an increased demand for skilled and trained human resource in the industry. The Conventional System of Higher Technical Education so far, has been unable to cope with this situation and it is highly likely that this gap between demand and supply may retard the growth of Indian Economy in the coming years. It is in this context that a fresh look-in is needed to create a more accessible technical education program in India that can enhance the employability. This can be done through Stepped up Technical Knowledge and Skill Development Program based on practical training that establishes a vertical linkage between technical educational programmes being offered after 10th standard and the Engineering Degree Programme of Universities.
2.2 PROGRAMME
IGNOU has initiated Vertically Integrated the Engineering Programme(VIEP) to create a system of education that allows students a greater choice in education. This Programme allows students who have passed the 10th Standard, 12th Standard Examinations and having Industry Experience and also those who already hold ITI certificates, Diploma, B.Sc., BCS, BCA or equivalent, to pursue a higher qualification starting from Diploma and going up
IGNOU- VIEP
to Bachelor's Degree in Technology. VIEP allows students to enter the stream of technical education upon passing the 10th standard examination. In this programme a student can obtain a diploma in Engineering or a Degree in Engineering from IGNOU and then exit the programme to join an industry for employment with the option of re-entry at a later point in time for pursuing a higher certification/ degree. However, the student will also have the option to continue education without breaking off for employment or otherwise and earn the balance credits for obtaining a Diploma. Further, after meeting the requirements for Diploma, the students may again exercise his option of breaking off or he/ she may choose to continue technical education towards the goal of obtaining a Degree in Engineering. Also, the student may exercise his option of stream after diploma. In effect, a student may join VIEP programme after passing the 10th standard examination and remain a part of the programme continuously for 6 years till the time he/ she gets a Degree in Engineering. This scheme is being promoted under Public Private Partnership Programme initiative of IGNOU. The Programmes are being offered on face-to-face/ Full time mode at IGNOU-VIEP Centres for Engineering Studies in flexible timing mode.

The University has adopted the following system for this Programme 2.4 Credit System
The University follows the 'Credit System'. The number of credits per subject Indicate the number of hours of lecture tutorials the student has to attend per week. For practicals one hour of class is equivalent to 0.5 credits. The total number of credits per semester is 25+/- 2 credits. Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires successful completion of the Internal assessments, practicals, projects and examination during at the end of each semester.
The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A learner has to write assignments/ tests compulsorily before taking term end examination from time to time to complete an academic programme. Term-end examination will be conducted at the study centre/exam centers of IGNOU, where as the project submission will be done at the study centre. The weightage of Internal Assessments and TEE for all the courses is 30% and 70% respectively in the overall evaluation scheme of the programme for theory course and exactly opposite in case of practical papers. A student will be awarded marks for the Internal Assessments and for Term End Examination (TEE) part for each course. To clear a course, a student will have to clear both the segments of the course. Following table gives minimum percentage of marks required for the clearance of a course:

IGNOU- VIEP
Evaluation Components Part for the Course Internal Assessments Term-end Examination (TEE) Overall Performance
% of marks for Clearance Degree Advanced Level Certificate/ Diploma 45% 45% 50% 35% 35% 40%
To facilitate statement of overall performance at the end of the programme, the calculation of overall percentage will be based on the weighted average system and the precision will be up to the one point after the decimal. Calculations will be carried out using the following scheme : Overall Percentage Where
C1 P1 + C2 P2 + C3 P3 + ... C1 + C2 + C3 + ...
C1, C2 denote credits associated with courses taken by the student, and P1, P2 denote the percentage of marks awarded in respective courses.
Depending on the over all percentage of the marks secured by a candidate the division will awarded as follows
1st Division (With Distinction ) - 75% and above 1st Division - 60% to 74.9% 2nd Division - 50% to 59.9% Pass - 40% to 49.9% (Advance Level Certificate / Diploma)
