2.0 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED ENGINEERING PROGRAMME

(Full Time in Flexible Time Mode)

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 B.Sc. 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.

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
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 to Bachelor's Degree in
Technology.

8
 IGNOU- VIEP

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.

2.3 SALIENT FEATURES OF THE VIEP

1. Vertical mobility and integration of technical training, technician education and

technical education.
2. Greater opportunities for students from rural areas and small towns to acquire
technical education.
3. Multiple entry levels.
3. Multiple exit levels.
5. Modular Programme.
6. Course duration identical to conventional education.
7. Every stage (Diploma/ Degree) to be a comprehensive capsule, leading to
employability and /or improved employability.
8. Certification after every stage. i.e. Diploma/ Degree.
9. Focus on practical training and skill development rather than on theory
alone. Project based functional assignments and industrial visits
essential parts of the Programme.
10. Encouraging earn and learn routes i.e. flexible time table,
11. Combination of Self Learning and Face to Face mode
12. No restriction on age.
13. Provision of dual degrees on successful completion of the required credits.
14. Diploma and Degree Programme.

9
 IGNOU- VIEP

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 assignments, practicals, projects and examination during at the end of each
semester.

2.5 Programme Delivery

The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional
Universities. The Open University system is more learner-oriented and the learner is an
active participant in the pedagogical (teaching and learning) process Face-to-Face mode is
adopted for the VIEP.

The VIEP is conducted by IGNOU throughout the country through the Engineering study
centres which are known the IGNOU study centres for Engineering studies. IGNOU approves
a study centre after the inspection of the infrastructural and Academic facilities crated for
successful conduct of the courses. The centres are well equipped with all the infrastructure
facilities required for conducting the programme. The main stress is given in the pedagogical
process i.e. teaching and learning.
2.6 Evaluation System
The system of evaluation in IGNOU for this programme is on the basis of continuous
evaluation system which comprises of the following three of the systems,
1. Continuous evaluation mainly through tests, assignments,
Practicals seminars/ workshops.
3. The End semester examinations.
4. Project works

The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them.
A learner has to write assignment responses 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, where as the project submission will be
done at the study centre.

The weightage of TMA (Tutor Mark Assignments) and TEE for all the courses is 30% and 70%
respectively in the overall evaluation scheme of the programme.
A student will be awarded marks for the TMAs 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:

10
 IGNOU- VIEP

Evaluation Components % of marks for Clearance

Part for the Course
TMA ≥ 40%
Term-end Examination (TEE) ≥ 40%
Overall Performance ≥ 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 :
+ C2 P2 +
C1 P1 + + C3 P3 +
+ ...
Overall Percentage =
C1 ++ C2 +
+ C3 ++ ...

Where 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%
· Unsuccessful - Below 40%

2.7 Examinations and Payment of Examination Fee.

End Semester examinations are conducted in the months of December and June by the
University for VIEP.
