Professional Courses are courses, which give the student the theory and practical skills he needs to practice his field of calling at the
technical/technologists level.
Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) shall be taken during the long vacation following the end of the second semester of the first
year. See details of SIWES at paragraph 8.0.
5.0 Curriculum structure

5.1 ND programmes
The structure of the programme courses of four semesters of classroom, laboratory and workshop activities in the college – and a period
(3-4 months) of supervised industrial work experience scheme (SIWES). Each semester shall have 17 weeks duration made up as
follows:-
15 contact weeks of teaching, i.e. recitation, practical exercises, quizzes, test, etc; and
2 weeks for examinations and registration. SIWES shall take place at the end of the second semester of the first year.
6.0 Accreditation
Programme offered at the ND level shall be accredited by the NBTE before the diplomats can be awarded National Diploma certificate. Details
about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of the ND is available from the Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical
Education, P. M. B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria.
7.0 Conditions for the Award of the National Diploma

Institution offering accredited programme will award the National Diploma programme after passing the prescribed course work,
examinations, diploma project and the supervised industrial work experience. Such candidates should have completed a minimum of
between 72 and 80 semester credit units depending on the programme.
7.1 Unified Grading System

The unified grading system to be applied in scoring all course work, examinations, project, etc is as stated on table below:
Marked Range Letter Grade WEIGHTING
75 and above A 4.0
70 – 74 AB 3.5
65 – 69 B 3.25
60- 64 BC 3.0
55 – 59 C 2.75
2.50
50-54 CD
2.25
45 – 49 D
2.0
40-44 E
0.0 0
Below 40% F
7.2 Classification of Diplomas
The final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall be determined (calculated) and applied to the classification of the National
Diploma as follows:
Class (Level of Pass) CGPA
Distinction 3.50 and Above

Upper Credit 3.00 – 3.49
Lower Credit 2.50 – 2.99
Pass 2.00 – 2.49
Fail Below 2.00
8.0 Guidance notes for Teachers teaching the programme

8.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stress
the need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wish to transfer the units already completed in an
institution of similar standard from which he is transferring.
8.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted; thus making each of the professional modules,
when completed provides the diplomates with technician skills, which can be used for recognition as in self-employed or for
employment purposes.
8.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and
industry, the curriculum content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the
student who successfully completed some of the courses or the diplomats of the programme. There is a slight departure in the
presentation of the performance based curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance are expected to be
carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the
department teaching the programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in their institution under which the
performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable level of performance. The Academic
Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final curriculum. Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal
evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of education in the programmes offered
throughout the polytechnic system.
8.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in
professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be a balance
of theory to practice in the ratio of about 40:60.
9.0 Guidelines on SIWES programme

9.1 For the smooth operation of the SIWES, the following guidelines shall apply:
Responsibility for placement of Students
a. Institutions offering the ND programme shall arrange to place the students in industry. By April 30 of each year, six copies of the
master list showing where each student has been placed shall be submitted to the Executive
Secretary, NBTE which shall, in turn, authenticate the list and forward it to the industrial Training Fund, Jos
b. The Placement officers should discuss and agree with industries on the following:
I. A task inventory of what the students should be expected to experience during the period of attachment. It may be wise to
adopt the one already approved for each field.
II. The industry-based supervisor of the students during the period, likewise the institution based supervisor.
III. The evaluation of the student during the period. It should be noted that the final grading of the student during the period of
attachment should be weighted more on the evaluation by his industry-based supervisor.
9.2 Evaluation of Students during the SIWES
In the evaluation of the student, cognizance should be taken of the following items: a) Punctuality
b) Attendance
c) General attitude to work
d) Respect for authority
e) Interest in the field/technical area
f) Technical competence as a potential technician in his field.
9.3 Grading of SIWES
To ensure uniformity of grading scales, the institution should ensure that the uniform grading of students’ work which has been agreed
to by all polytechnics is adopted.
9.4 The Institution based Supervisor
The institution-based supervisor should initial the log book during each visit. This will enable him/her to check and determine to what
extent the objectives of the scheme are being met and to assist students having any problems regarding the specific given to them by
their industry-based supervisor.
9.5 Frequency of visit

Institution should ensure that students placed on attachment are visited within one month of their placement. Other visits shall be
arranged so that:
I. There will be another visit six weeks after the first visit;
and
II. A final visit in the last month of the attachment.
9.6 Stipend for Students in SIWES

The rate of stipend payable shall be determined from time to time by the Federal Government after due consultation with the Federal
Ministry of Education, the Industrial Training Fund and the NBTE.
9.7 SIWES As a component of the Curriculum

The completion of SIWES is important in the final determination of whether the student is successful in the programme or not. Failure
in the SIWES is an indication that the student has not shown sufficient interest in the field or has no potential to become a skilled
Technician in his/her field. The SIWES should be graded on a fail or pass basis. Where a student has satisfied all other requirements
but failed SIWES, he may only be allowed to repeat another four months SIWES at his/her own expense
