| Duration and Requirements of the Courses/Semester |
 |
There are two semesters in an academic year; Fall and Spring. Fall Semester normally starts in September/October and Spring Semester starts in February/March. |
| |
In addition to Fall and Spring Semesters, there is a Summer Session with the duration of eight weeks. Normally the enrolment upto 6 credit hours is offered in summer session. However, the contact hours during each week of the Summer Session are doubled to ensure that the course is completely covered. |

One credit hour of a course means one hour lecture per week for 15-16 teaching weeks. Thus a 3 credit hours course means 3 hours of teaching per week during the semester. For practical, 2 hours of lab work is equal to 1 credit hour. Similarly for field work or project 6 or 4 hours are considered equal to one credit hour. |
