General norms for institutes for the conduct of

Basic Science 15-25%
It will be desirable to have a minimum of one course in each of the areas as below:

1. 
   Computer Literacy with Numerical Analysis
   
2. 
   Mathematics
   
3. 
   Physics
   
4. 
   Chemistry
   

Institutions may strengthen their curricula with common additional courses required by them as per their need to make up a maximum to 25% of the contact time available.

Engineering Sciences 15-25% and Technical Arts
It will be desirable to have a minimum of one course in each of the areas as below:

1. 
   Engineering graphics
   
2. 
   Workshop Practice
   
3. 
   Engineering Mechanics
   
4. 
   Electrical Science I (Basic Electrical Engineering)
   
5. 
   Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
   
6. 
   Material Science and Engineering
   
7. 
   Electrical Science II (Electronics and Instrumentation)
   

It is also suggested that courses like (1) Engineering Systems Design (2) Manufacturing Materials (3) Rudiments of inspection and Surveying (4) Transport Phenomena may also form a part of this core curriculum.
