DGI B.Tech (ASH) FAQs
Ques. What is the Applied Sciences and Humanities department at DGI?
Ans. The Applied Sciences and Humanities (ASH) department at DGI is a foundational department that teaches first-year engineering subjects common to all B.Tech programs. It covers Mathematics (Engineering Mathematics I and II), Physics, Chemistry, English Communication, and Engineering Drawing. The department has dedicated faculty for each subject and plays a crucial role in building the academic foundation of engineering students.
Ques. Is B.Tech Applied Sciences and Humanities a separate degree program at DGI?
Ans. No, B.Tech Applied Sciences and Humanities is not a standalone degree program offered for direct admission at DGI. It represents the common first-year curriculum shared across all B.Tech specializations. Students are admitted to specific B.Tech programs (CSE, IT, ECE, EEE, ME, CSIT, ECS, AI&ML) and study Applied Sciences and Humanities subjects in their first year as part of the AKTU curriculum.
Ques. What subjects are covered in the Applied Sciences and Humanities curriculum at DGI?
Ans. The Applied Sciences and Humanities curriculum at DGI (AKTU first-year syllabus) covers Engineering Mathematics I and II, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, English Communication Skills, and Engineering Drawing/Graphics. These subjects are designed to provide a strong foundation in basic sciences and communication skills that are essential for all engineering disciplines.
Ques. How important are Applied Sciences subjects for engineering students at DGI?
Ans. Applied Sciences subjects are extremely important for engineering students as they form the mathematical and scientific foundation for all engineering disciplines. Mathematics is particularly crucial for subjects like algorithms, signal processing, and control systems in later years. Students are advised to take these first-year subjects seriously as they directly impact performance in higher-semester engineering subjects.
Ques. Does DGI provide additional support for students struggling with Applied Sciences subjects?
Ans. Yes, DGI provides remedial classes and additional support for students who need help with Applied Sciences subjects. The college has a tutorial system where students can seek help from faculty outside regular class hours. The NPTEL remote centre also provides access to quality video lectures for mathematics and sciences from IIT professors, which students can use for self-study.
Ques. What is the AKTU examination pattern for Applied Sciences subjects at DGI?
Ans. AKTU conducts semester-end examinations for Applied Sciences subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Engineering Drawing) at the end of each semester. The examination pattern includes theory papers (70 marks) and internal assessment (30 marks). Engineering Drawing has a practical component. Students must secure a minimum of 40% in each subject to pass. The AKTU examination fee is approximately Rs. 7,500 per year, charged separately from the college tuition fee.
