E) RATIONALE :

Electricity plays a very important role in day-to-day life of every one. It also forms the
very first basis for any Electronics technician course, since the fundamentals of Electrical
Engg. are used in the Electronics circuits, T.V. Engg. Instrumentation and control.

As a technician, one is expected to know the fundamentals and utilization aspects of

electrical engineering, practice the safety rules and prevent the mishaps and hazards.

The course of fundamentals of Electrical Engg. , aims to impart the knowledge and
practice in DC and AC circuits, machines, measuring instruments and electrical safety,
which is essential in developing a solid foundation for any Electronics Engg student to
become a competent technician.

The course is designed so that more emphasis on practice through laboratory work is given
to reinforce fundamental concepts and develop basic skills of handling of instruments and
machines.

by the Central Pollution Control Board. Awareness of statutory framework on mining
industry will by imparted to the students, through the teaching, field visits, projects, case
studies and incidence analysis through use of the following in details:

1. Relevant provisions of Mines Act 1952.

2. Relevant provisions of Mines Rules 1955
3. Relevant provisions of Coal Mines Regulations 1957.

E) RATIONAL :
Though the present trend of mining is for open cast mining, the importance of underground
mining can not be ignored. The deep deposits of coal can only be worked by underground
mining. It is also a fact that accident ratio are more in under-ground mining than in open cast
mining, yet where the Over Burden ratio is beyond working limit, under ground mining becomes
the necessity. This course is designed to make students comprehend different mining methods
used for underground mining of coal, safety measures and management of other related
operations such as.

D) BRANCH/DISCIPLINE : MINING ENGG.
E) RATIONALE:
Industrial Training is one of the most essential components for a diploma graduate in
Mining and Mine Surveying. The sole purpose of industrial training is to expose the
students to “real life” situations. Different aspect of mining such as geology, exploration,
selection of method of working, selection of machines for mining, environmental controls
and measures, safety in mines and various statutory provisions can only be understood
when the students are exposed to different mine workings. Students will cover different
coal and metal mines both underground and opencast in such a way that at the end of the
completion of diploma programme, they are conversant with different mining conditions.
Industrial training also opens avenues of new learning to the students and apply them
during their project and industrial training presentations.

Before going for training, the students will prepare various formats for data collection
based on the topic of training assigned to them. The students will be given specific
assignments for the period of training. During the course of training students will
complete weekly report, assignments and keep weekly attendance updated. On
completion of training each student will submit a report of training and make a
presentation before the group of students. Teacher assessment will be done during the
training, on presentation of training and at the end of semester examination. A seminar
will be organized on specific topics identified by the teacher and the students will present
their experiences earned during the training on the specific tasks. End of the semester
examination will be an external exam.
