PREFACE

Dear Students,
Since it started in the year 1946, NIE is promoting excellence
in education through highly qualified faculty members and
modern infrastructure. The Board of Directors believes in
continuous improvement in delivery of technical education.
Thanks to Karnataka government that designed and
developed a seamless admission process through CET,
many highly meritorious pre-university passed students are
joining NIE, which has become a brand name among
hundreds of colleges in the country. Infact, NIE is one of the
top ten preferred colleges where all the seats got filled-up in
the first round of 2015 admissions.
The concerted efforts of stake holders at NIE have made it
get autonomous status, prestigious TEQIP-I & II and get
accreditation from National Board of Accreditation, New
Delhi. NIE has been granted permanent affiliation by VTU to
all its courses.
Today NIE has of 7 UG, 13 PG and 5 Post-graduate Diploma
programmes and 13 Centres of Excellence with overall
student strength of over 3500. NIE's journey to excellence,
with the main objective of continuous improvements of
administrative and academic competence, is envisioned
through three major pillars: intellectual infrastructure,
courses/services offerings and institution building.
Our curriculum is designed to develop problem-solving skill in
students and build good academic knowledge.

 BLUEPRINT OF SYLLABUS STRUCTURE AND
QUESTION PAPER PATTERN

Blue Print of Syllabus Structure

1. Complete syllabus is prescribed in SIX units as Unit 1, Unit

2, etc.
2. In each unit there is one topic under the heading Self
Learning Exercises (SLE). These are the topics to be
learnt by the student on their own under the guidance of
the course instructors. Course instructors will inform the
students about the depth to which SLE components are to
be studied. Thus there will be six topics in the complete
syllabus which will carry questions with a weightage of
10% in SEE only. No questions will be asked on SLE
components in CIE.

Blue Print of Question Paper

1. Question paper will have SEVEN full questions.

2. One full question each of 15 marks (Question No 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 and 6) will be set from each unit of the syllabus. Out of
these six questions, two questions will have internal choice
from the same unit. The unit from which choices are to be
given is left to the discretion of the course instructor.
3. Question No 7 will be set for 10 marks only on those topics
prescribed as Self Learning Exercises.
