MINOR

Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if she/he does 20 credits worth of
additional learning in a discipline other than her/his major discipline of B.Tech degree. The
objective is to permit a student to customize their Engineering degree to suit their specific
interests. Upon completion of an Engineering Minor, a student will be better equipped to
perform interdisciplinary research and will be better employable. Engineering Minors allow a
student to gain interdisciplinary experience and exposure to concepts and perspectives that may
not be a part of their major degree programs.
The academic units offering minors in their discipline will prescribe the set of courses and/or
other activities like projects necessary for earning a minor in that discipline. A specialist bucket
of 3-6 courses is identified for each Minor. Each bucket may rest on one or more foundation
courses. A bucket may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic
courses in the bucket. She/he accumulates credits by registering for the required courses, and if
the requirements for a particular minor are met within the time limit for the course, the minor
will be awarded. This will be mentioned in the Degree Certificate as “Bachelor of Technology
in xxx with Minor in yyy”. The fact will also be reflected in the consolidated grade card, along
with the list of courses taken. If one specified course cannot be earned during the course of the
programme, that minor will not be awarded. The individual course credits earned, however, will
be reflected in the consolidated grade card.
(i) The curriculum/syllabus committee/BoS shall prepare syllabus for courses to be included in
the curriculum from third to eight semesters for all branches. The minor courses shall be
identified by M slot courses.

(ii) Registration is permitted for Minor at the beginning of third semester. Total credits
required to award B.tech with Minor is 182 (162 + 20)

(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three
courses, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the chosen area. They can do mini
project either in S7 or in S8. The remaining 8 credits could be acquired through 2 MOOCs
recommended by the Board of Studies and approved by the Academic Council or 2 courses
from the minor buckets listed here. The classes for Minor shall be conducted along with regular
classes and no extra time shall be required for conducting the courses.

(iv) There won’t be any supplementary examination for the courses chosen for Minor.

(v) On completion of the program, “Bachelor of Technology in xxx with Minor in yyy” will be
awarded if the registrant earn 20 credits form the minor courses.

(vi) The registration for the minor program will commence from semester 3 and all the
academic units offering minors in their discipline should prescribe a set of such courses. The
courses shall be grouped into a maximum of 5 buckets. The bucket of courses may have
sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic courses in the bucket. Reshuffling
of courses between various buckets will not be allowed. There is an option to skip any two
courses listed here and to opt for equivalent MOOC courses approved by the Academic
 B.TECH COMPUTER SCIENCE AND DESIGN

Council. In any case, they should carry out a mini project based on the chosen area in S7 or S8.
For example: Students who have registered for B.Tech Minor in Computer Science & Design
can opt to study the courses listed below:

HONOURS

Honours is an additional credential a student may earn if he/she opts for the extra 20 credits needed
for this in his/her own discipline. Honours is not indicative of a class. The University is providing
this option for academically extra brilliant students to acquire Honours. Honours is intended for a
student to gain expertise/get specialized in an area inside his/her major B.Tech discipline and to
enrich knowledge in emerging/advanced areas in the concerned branch of engineering. It is
particularly suited for students aiming to pursue higher studies. Upon completion of Honours, a
student will be better equipped to perform research in her/his branch of engineering. On successful
accumulation of credits at the end of the programme, this will be mentioned in the Degree
Certificate as “Bachelor of Technology in xxx, with Honours.” The fact will also be reflected in
the consolidated grade card, along with the list of courses taken. If a student is not earning credits
for any one of the specified courses for getting Honours, she/he is not entitled to get Honours. The
individual course credits earned, however, will be reflected in the consolidated grade card.
The courses shall be grouped into a maximum of 3 buckets, each bucket representing a particular
specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from the same bucket in all
semesters. It means that the specialization is to be fixed by the student and cannot be changed
subsequently. The internal evaluation, examination and grading shall be exactly as for other
mandatory courses. The Honours courses shall be identified by H slot courses.

(i) The curriculum/syllabus committee/BoS shall prepare syllabus for courses to be

included in the curriculum from fourth to eight semesters for all branches. The
Honours courses shall be identified by H slot courses.
(ii) Registration is permitted for Honours at the beginning of fourth semester. Total
credits required is 182 (162 + 20).
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three
