Academic Calendar

Each academic year is divided into two semesters and programmes are evaluated in the credit system. Teaching includes lectures, tutorials, practicals, projects, seminars, dissertations. The Institutes lay special emphasis on the tutorial system, which is based on a close personal interaction between students and teachers. The undergraduate students have to undergo a comprehensive project work submission in the final year of their studies. A distinct feature of the education system at TTWRDCs is the emphasis on overall personality development and therefore in the  process, extra curricular activities become an integral part of student's life by instilling the leadership qualities in the students. These Institutes, as Gurukulams have provided the largest number of graduates in the task of nation building.
 
Academic committees and faculty committee of each Department review the performance of every student throughout the year. And at the end of each semester every student gives a feedback on the course content, its relevance and performance of the teacher. Feed back from students has helped in continually improving teaching quality.

The academic plan for the undergraduate courses depends upon their concerned universities almanacs.
