Batch Planning

Batch Planning

Batch is a bunch of students administered to a program from admission year up-to expected passing year.

(**Suppose a bunch of 60 students is taking admission in a four year course of BE - Comp program, in the academic year 2018-2019 than the batch BE - COMP 2018-2022 will be formed and expected passing year for students would be 2022.

Few student may however have year down and pass later, but for identification the batch will be BE - COMP 2018-2022 as the batch indicates the admission year**). Batch planning allows a user to create future batch/term which can be activated when the semester is active. All the batches created remains in planning state once user marks the batch as active the status changes to running.

Terminologies Used:

• Program: Program is usually similar to qualification but not always. In Engineering colleges, all first year students are allocated to the program "Applied Science" which is a mixed group for teaching basics of Engineering to all specialization. In the second year Applied Science students are distributed to different programs(non-functional departments) like BE - Comp, BE - Civil, BE Mech.

• Batch: Batch is a Lot of students administered to a program from admission year upto expected passing year. For example a four year course of BE - Comp with admission year 2018 and expected passing year 2022 will have the batch 2018-22 The student may however have year - down and pass later, but for identification batch remains the same.

• Term Name/Semester Name: In a four year program there can be 8 semesters/term or 12 semesters/term or only 4 semesters/term depending on whether the term is 6 months or 4 months or 12 months.

• Section/Divisions: In a program BE Comp Batch 2018-22 there can be 3 sections/divisions of 40 students each.

• For example a faculty may teach “Mathematics” to second year batch odd semester every year, so she can fetch course file evaluation parameters from last year batch odd semester for current running batch in odd semester.
