Credits are allotted to various courses depending on the number of lecture/tutorial/laboratory hours per week. A student's performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester and culminates in the award of a grade on a 10-point scale. Based on the performance of a student, each student is awarded a final letter grade in each subject at the end of the semester. The letter grades and the corresponding grade points are as follows:

In addition, there shall be two transitional grades ‘I’ and ‘X’ used by the instructors.

The students' Semester Performance Index (SPI) is evaluated by weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered by the student in that semester. The Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) representing the weighted average of the grade points secured by the students in all the semesters is also recorded.

The Institute permits a limited number of students to change from one branch of study to another after the end of the second semester, subject to certain conditions, some of which are given below:

Only those students will be eligible for a change of branch who have completed all the common credits required in the first two semesters of their studies in their first attempt with a CPI of not less than 8.00 and without having had to pass any course requirement in the summer term examination.

Change of branch is permitted strictly on the basis of merit (CPI at the end of two semesters) subject to the limitation that the strength of a branch does not fall below the existing strength by more than ten percent and does not go above the sanctioned strength by more than ten percent.

The Incubation Centre IIT Patna (IC IITP) is located in the sprawling 500+ acre campus of IIT Patna at Bihta in beautiful and pristine surroundings. IC is currently operating from a 10,000 sqft space provided by IIT Patna.  The construction of permanent building of IC is initiated.

Origin

IC IIT Patna is a result of the collaboration between the Government of India (47%) and the Government of Bihar (53%). This is an INR 47.10 Cr project associated with the Digital India and Make in India initiative.

Vision

IC IIT Patna aims to be the leading technology business incubator in the country for the development of products and intellectual property in the area of Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) with a special focus on Medical Electronics. 

Objectives

India presently has a very poor doctor-to-patient ratio and lags behind in medical facilities. The cost of equipment and lack of connectivity is a major roadblock in providing affordable electronics/diagnostic systems. The key issues relate to the affordability, accessibility, and awareness for preventive measures.

Medical Electronics segment requires significant enhancement of availability of skilled manpower in the ESDM sector. In this effort, we aim to utilize the expertise at IIT Patna to identify, nurture and translate technology ideas and innovation in the broad area of Electronic System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) with a focus in Medical Electronics.

ICIITP will be a stepping stone for the growth of entrepreneurship in the geographical region and will give impetus to entrepreneurship among students, faculties and other innovators.

Incubation Programme

The two year Incubation programme at the IC IITP is designed to support start-ups for idea validation, product development, building and testing prototypes and early stage scaling of innovations. IC IITP will enable the start-ups with:

• Fully furnished office space, conference rooms, internet and communication facilities
• State of the art  laboratories for Electronic System Design, Development and Prototyping,  PCB Prototyping and Assembly, Testing and Measurement, Mechanical packaging and Product Prototyping
• Guidance by mentors from Industry, IITP faculty,Investors and IC management on business, technology, IPR and other aspects
• Investor Connect, which will help in getting needed funds
• Access to specially designed training material on relevant issues like accounts, taxation for start-ups, understanding Intellectual Property, etc.
• Assistance to develop strategic relationships with key collaborators in related industries in order to increase market penetration and shorten the sales cycle.
• A seed funding of up to 10 lakhs

IC is Open to Applications through the Year

Students, members of faculty and external innovators and start-ups in the areas of ESDM and Medical Electronics can apply for incubation in IC IITP by submitting a business plan to manager_ic@iitp.ac.in order to be considered for incubation. You can find a business plan template and more details at www.iciitp.com

The proposal will be admitted to a two year Incubation program or three months pre-incubation program based on evaluation of the proposal by a Project Evaluation Team, comprising of eminent personalities from industry, academia, government and investment community.

2. HANDLE OPERATED GARBAGE AND SOIL COLLECTOR

To avoid harmful and Less efficient way of collection and transportation of waste and construction material, handle operated garbage and soil Collector is applied for patent. The machine has also been fabricated.

3. AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM:

Famer has to travel miles from his home just to switch on/off the water supply in the farms. Also there is uncertainty about the presence of electricity. This task becomes very difficult especially during night time. Designing a system by which a farmer can just send SMS to regulate the water supply.

 The product developed at IITP aims to  reduce the effort as well as helps to control the adequate water supply in the farms.

4. LOW COST AUTOMATED CELL MANIPULATION DEVICE USING MICROBOTS IN MAGNETIC FIELD.

Designing fabrication and controlling of image guided automated non- prehensile magnetic micro-manipulation system applicable for targeted drug delivery.

5. A BIAXIAL STRECHING DEVICE FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY STRECHING OF AN ELASTONER SAMPLE

The developed device is applied for simultaneous stretching of elastomeric materials biaxially to improve electro mechanical responses. The device comprises square basement, supporting structure, top frame, sliding bars, power screw, and umbrella rod. Four sliding bars attached with the upper frame can move along the diagonal axes. The sliding bars are connected to the umbrella rods which are attached with a spline goes up and the umbrella rods deflect to outward direction and subsequently create a linear motion sliding bars. Four grips are provided for grabbing a test specimen at the free end of the sliding bars. With the rotation of the power screw the bars move away from each other and the sample if stretched bi directionally.

6. Students under supervision of faculty members are working in identifying problem and technology improvisation under the umbrella of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, MHRD,Govt of India to create a virtuous cycle between society and responsive academic system to respond to the development needs of rural India.
