8 Important Academic Information 1. Once you get fail grade (FR) in 2 or more subjects, there is a real possibility that it could lead to your expulsion from the institute. 2. Certain courses can be opted as Audit with due permission taken from the concerned faculty. The difference between taking a course as audit compared to credit is that it helps the student to sit through all lectures without having to commit too much time (in terms of assignments, exams, etc.) to meet the requirements for getting an audit grade ( AU ). The requirements for getting an audit grade is decided solely by the professor offering the course and will typically involve getting a certain pass percentage. 3. Issues concerning slot overlap of registered courses, unavailability of electives, etc., should be discussed with respective Faculty Advisor. 4. The academic system in IIT Bombay is based on credits. All students must complete the required credits (refer to Bulletin_PG_2017) for obtaining a degree. The grading scheme is as follows Letter Grade Grade point AP 10 AA 10 AB 9 BB 8 BC 7 CC 6 CD 5 DD 4 FF FR XX 0 Fail (Eligible for re-exam) 0 Fail (Repeat the course) Fail (Lack of attendance - Repeat the II Incomplete ( on health grounds ) DR PP NP AU Dropped Passed Not passed Audit

12 PRATHAM IIT Bombay Student Satellite Initiative Pratham is the first student satellite made by students of IIT Bombay. It was successfully launched by ISRO on PSLV C35 on 26 th September 2016.The vision in mind was to start a collaboration between various Indian universities interested in contributing to the space sector and ensuring sharing of knowledge and facilities between them. To realize that, various workshops and sessions have been conducted by the team in our own institute and other universities as well. The satellite itself is a small satellite which fits in a cube of side 40cm and has a mass about 10kg. Its payload is to measure the total electron count in the ionosphere. This data can be used to improve GPS accuracy. The satellite system is divided into 5 subsystems for technical ease, namely: 1. Payload Subsystem which studies requirements imposed by the payload on the satellite 2. Structural Subsystem to design a robust structure for the satellite 3. Electrical Subsystem to handles the electronic components and power generation 4. Communication Subsystem designs the mechanism to communicate with Earth using radio waves 5. Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem which designs the algorithm to maintain a specific orientation of the satellite in space The team has seen more than 100 members over the last 8 years. The team is led by the project managers followed by the subsystem heads. There is lot of interaction within the team so much so that even the youngest members in the team are friendly with the alumni. The team has seen many distinguished alumni and published a wide range of papers in various conferences. The second phase of this project is the second student satellite Advitiy. The second satellite ensures continuity and transfer of the knowledge obtained from the process of successfully building Pratham. The team hopes to build on that knowledge and expand the horizon of IIT Bombay in space technology. The team for the second satellite has been recruited and the search for the payload has begun. The focus of the second satellite will be on reliability and repeatability. Yash Sanghvi, Project Manager,
