Teaching Learning Process

Students are benefitted from our integrated style of learning and teaching. The courses are modular and are structured around lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratory work, and individual and group projects and assignments that allow students to gain hands-on experience of investigating and applying material from the lectures and tutorials in a real-world context.
Students may choose from our flexible range of modules to reflect their interests and career plans, and with practical work being core to their study, they will be able to really get to grips with their subject and prepare themselves for a career in this varied and exciting industry.

Lectures:
Lectures provide a guide to specific subject matter and explain the foundations of a subject on which a student’s knowledge can be developed. Students will be taught by world-leading academics in our modern lecture theatres which are equipped with the latest audio-visual and computer-based teaching aids, such as wi-fi and e-voting handsets.

Tutorials:
Small group teaching in tutorials encourages active participation and understanding, allowing students to contribute freely, and supplements formal teaching in lectures, providing an opportunity for students to develop their ideas and skills. Tutorials also allow assessed work to be set and explained, as well as feedback to students on their knowledge and understanding, and their coursework performance. Tutorials are helpful to practice transferable skills such as written and oral presentation, and to build career awareness and discipline-specific professional skills.

Laboratory classes:
The practical content of our courses skills and develops the students to stand them in good stead in competition for science/technology-based careers. They work in small groups supervised by lecturers and demonstrators who explain what individual practical sessions are about and what methodology will be used and why, plus how the practical links to material presented in lectures and tutorials. Staff also helps clarify any uncertainties or issues of concern and ensure safe working practices.

Industrial visits:
Students gain experience investigating and applying material from their lectures, tutorials and project work in real life situations through industrial visits. These provide a unique opportunity for students to gain insight into working environments related to their subject area, seeing first-hand the relevance and application of their academic learning. In last the last years, the students of M.Sc. Petroleum Technology have visited various Industries like Global Bio fuels, BORL Bina etc.

Continuous Assessment System (CAS):
ITM University is first to adopt continuous assessment system in M.P. which is being implemented at IITs and among best universities of the world. A student is evaluated for his performance in a subject in a continuous manner during a Semester. Due weightage is given to class participation, class test, Mid Terms examinations, assignments, End Term Examinations, seminars and project work.
