In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 24 ( ii ) read with Section 42 ( 1 ) of the Cochin University of Science and Technology Act 1986 , the Academic Council at its meeting held on 3-2-2007 resolved to approve the Regulations , Scheme of Examination and Question Paper Pattern of the Diploma Course in Hydrographic Survey (Prog . No. 8301 ) offered by Hydrographic School , Southern Naval Command under the Faculty of Marine Sciences as appended .
The Syndicate at its 513th meeting held on 21-5-2007 approved the above decision taken by the Academic Council and made it effective from 3-2-2007 , the date of meeting of the Academic Council .
REGULATIONS
1. Programme No.-8301 .
2. Programme Name- Diploma in Hydrographic Survey.
3. Programme Code-DHS .
4. Approving Authority-Headquarters , Southern Naval Command .
5. Eligibility Criteria for admission- Matriculation with minimum 55 % aggregate marks .
6. Duration :
(a) 1st Semester-22 weeks Basic Training at INS Chilka.
(b) 2nd Semester-25 weeks Basic ' Q ' SR course at NHS .
(c) 3rd, 4th & 5th Semester-72 weeks Distance Learning (Leading ' Q' Board)
(d) 6th Semester-25 weeks at National Hydrographic School .
7. Attendance requirement- 85 % ( Sailor remaining absent for more than 15 % of the duration of the course are to be withdrawn from course with prior approval of Headquarters) .
8. Nature-Full time .
9. Approved intake capacity- As approved by HQSNC/ CABS .
10. Introduction . The National Hydrographic School ( NHS) is headed by Officer- in- Charge and there are two Departments namely Training and Administration Department headed by Chief Instructor and Administrative Officer respectively. The Training Department is divided into four faculties namely:
(a) Faculty of Hydrographic Control
(b) Faculty of Hydrographic Practice
(c) Faculty of Ancillary Hydrography and
(d) Faculty of Technical Orientation , each headed by an Officer and sufficient members under him .
Also a Training Design and Evaluation Cell ( TDEC) , Training Cell (TC) and Controllerate of Examination ( COE ) also function under the Training Department . TDEC controls all the revision and issue of all training materials held at the NHS including Syllabus , Lesson Plans , Presentations , OHP slides etc. Training Cell controls the day to day training requirements and also plans the training programme .
11. Conduct of Examination . The Examinations are conducted by the COE on completion of the subject . The examination procedure is streamlined , so that the Faculty engaging the subject is neither involved in the setting up of question paper neither the correction of answer sheets . The COE nominates an instructor from the faculty other than the one which has engaged the particular subject to set the paper . The paper is vetted by the Chief Instructor. On completion of the examination the answer sheets are coded by COE before being handed over for corrections again to an instructor from the faculty other than the one which has engaged the particular subject . On completion of the correction of answer sheets , the same is decoded before the announcement of the results . The procedure of coding and decoding ensures that the identity of the trainee is not revealed to the paper Evaluator .
Oncompletion of the theory examinations the field practicals are conducted . The evaluation of the practicals will be conducted by an external examiner appointed by CUSAT. Towards the fulfillment of external Examination, NHS will be coordinating the appointment of external examiner in consultation with CUSAT. The external examiner will also carry out a random check of the corrected answer sheets of the course , so as to ensure the examination procedure is conducted in a fair and requisite manner.
12. Minimum Qualifying marks:-
(a) Written Examination-50 %
(b) Practical Examination-65 %
(c) Aggregate Pass Marks-55 %
13.Grading . The grading of the trainees is based on the final result , which is as follows :-
(a) 80 % and above O- Outstanding
(b) 75% to 79.9 % A-Distinguished
(c) 70 % to 74.9 % B- Above Average
(d) 65% to 69.9 % C-High Average
(e) 60 % to 64.9 % D-Average
(f) 55 % to 59.9 % E-Below Average
(g) Below 55 % F-Failure
14. Failure in Examination :-
( a) Sailors failing in any one paper will be warned by the Chief Instructor. Extra classes will be conducted for him and re - examination conducted .
(b) Sailors failing in two papers will be warned by the Officer- in- Charge . Extra classes will be conducted and re - examination will be conducted .
(c) Sailors failing in three papers will be withdrawn from course with approval from Headquarters Southern Naval Command .
(d) Marks obtained in re - examination will be restricted to minimum pass marks for record purposes .
