INTRODUCTION

Rapid strides in science and technology make it imperative that the education of professionals be continued over their entire career rather than be confined to a single stretch. What is needed is a complete integration of education with work during their productive life span, which will be adequate to help them cope with new demands. Continuing Education embraces all the processes of education that one undergoes throughout a working life and which have a relevance to the practical problems likely to be encountered in one’s career. It may be realised through formal and informal modes of teaching, or through mass media. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness on the part of Universities that imparting knowledge to people beyond their boundaries is an equally important part of their service to the community. With this broad perspective of their function in society, Universities have begun to seek ways of reaching out to professionals. The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has evolved several mechanisms to make the expertise and facilities available to qualified technical people in industries, Universities and research establishments. The need for forging links between academic institutions and industries and R&D organisations has been a goal set for the IISc by its illustrious founder, J.N. Tata.

PROFICIENCE was established with the objective of providing a sustained and rigorous continuing education program offering courses on subject of topical interest to scientists and engineers in and around Bangalore. This program, believed to be the first of its kind in the country, is a joint venture between IISc and several Professional Institutions/Societies in Bangalore. The program name signifies the coming together of Professional Institutions and the Indian Institute of Science. It was started on an experimental basis in 1980 and has proved to be extremely popular and has attracted wide attention in academic and professional circles. The demand for some courses, especially on computers, microprocessors and management is so overwhelming that it has not been possible to admit all the eligible applicants. Every year, there has been a steady increase in the number of students as well as the types of courses offered indicative of the growing popularity of this Program.

IISc is the custodian of the academic standards of all PROFICIENCE courses. It has the responsibility of evolving appropriate teaching norms, providing the venue and facilities for conducting courses, organising the tests and examinations and issuing certificates to the successful participants. These tasks are coordinated by the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE).

COURSES

The continuing education program organised under PROFICIENCE offers semester long courses in areas of topical interest. The courses are organised during evening hours so that working professionals can participate without getting their normal work affected. All courses are normally at the postgraduate level and many of these are in fact offered to the IISc students regularly. Participants in certain selected courses are provided practical training in computer

and other laboratories, as appropriate. The course contents are regularly upgraded on the basis of feedback from the faculty and the participants. Courses are offered during the period AUG-DEC and JAN-MAY and around 15-20 courses are scheduled during each semester.

Each course has lectures at the rate of two or three hours per week depending upon the number of course credits. Tests and examinations are conducted according to the IISc norms. A series of courses leading to different specialisations are offered in a sequential manner, especially in the area of Computer Science and Engineering. This would enable the participants who start with the entry level courses progress towards more advanced ones and specialise in one of the streams.

EVALUATION

The total marks for assessment will be equally distributed between the sessional work and end semester examination. The sessional work consists of class tests, midsemester examination, homework assignments etc. as determined by the instructor. The participants who maintain a minimum of 75% attendance both in the theory and computer/laboratory classes will be evaluated based on the combined performance in the end semester

examination and sessional work and assigned a letter grade.

NO RE-EXAMINATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The letter grades carry a qualitative assessment as indicated below:

S-Outstanding; A-Excellent; B-Very Good; C-Good; D-Satisfactory; F-Fail.

CERTIFICATES

Certificates will be issued to only those who get at least a ‘D’ grade. Attendance certificates shall not be issued to any one. This being a continuing education program meant especially for self improvement, the credits accumulated cannot be equated with the credits earned through formal education. There shall be no claims for PROFICIENCE credits being counted towards partial fulfillment of credit requirements towards any degree/diploma or

other formal recoginitions offered by IISc.

Formal Course completion certificates will not be issued under any circumstances to any candidate.
