2022, 39th meeting held on 19 January 2024 b) Senate in its 61st meeting held on 15th November 2022,
updated in the 63rd/64th/68th/71st meetings of the Senate]

The curriculum of the undergraduate programme at IIT Gandhinagar focuses on students’

overall development and step-by-step value addition. The aim is to

§ impart a broad-based education

§ emphasize strong fundamentals and substantial interdisciplinary exposure
§ provide an opportunity to explore a wide spectrum of courses in each semester
§ provide sufficient design exposure
§ promote planning and organization, and encourage team work
§ sensitize students to their socio-cultural context
§ equip students for future leadership, transcending conventional disciplinary
barriers
§ emphasize need for lifelong learning and relearning.

The BTech programme is divided into two distinct but compatible parts called Institute level
curriculum and Discipline-specific curriculum. Each student is required to go through the
Institute level curriculum, irrespective of his/her chosen branch of specialization. It consists of
a package of compulsory courses, besides a few elective courses. The Discipline specific
curriculum consists of a set of compulsory courses, electives, and project work.

All students admitted to the first year of undergraduate (BTech and BTech-MTech)
programmes are called at least one week before the rest of the batches. First, they go through
a Foundation Programme of about four weeks (five weeks for students admitted till AY 2022-
23) followed by regular semester activities of about twelve weeks.

A student is required to pass the prescribed minimum courses of the curriculum for his/her
programme and complete the minimum credits requirement of 169-175 for the BTech degree
according to the structure prescribed by each discipline.

A. BTech Curriculum (Applicable for students admitted from AY 2022-23)

1. Typically forty hours of study load (mind-space time) of a student may be counted as
equivalent to one credit i.e. in a four credit course, a study load of 160 hours is
expected from the student in a semester, including contact hours.

2. All BTech students are required to complete 28 credits of courses under the
Humanities and Social Sciences basket, including two mandatory Writing courses
namely HS 191: Introduction to Writing I (2 credits) and HS 192: Introduction to
Writing II (2 credits).

3. In addition to the Writing courses, the Humanities and Social Sciences courses which
are mandatory for undergraduate students are Economics (4 credits), Introduction to
Philosophy (4 credits) and World Civilizations and Cultures (4 credits). In the
future, baskets of courses may be offered as an alternative to the mandatory Humanities
and Social Sciences courses. Rest of the 12 credits will be covered through Humanities,
Social Sciences or Management electives, with 4 credits (2 courses of 2 credits each)
worth of courses from a General Education Basket. Some of the courses which could

Academic Affairs Advisory No. 13 (Oct 2024) Page No. 1

 be considered under the General Education (GE) Basket include courses on Cultural
Expression, Performing Arts, Theatre, Fine Arts, Sports etc. The courses under the
mandatory General Education Basket (up to 4 credits) will have Pass/Fail grade and not
an usual letter grade. In cases where a student fails to clear the Foundation Programme,
they may clear an additional 4 credits worth of GE courses for graduation. Note: Credit
for courses offered under the General Education Basket cannot be counted towards the
graduation requirements for students who are admitted before 2022-23.

4. All students are required to complete 8 credits worth of courses from the Science
Basket, which will have courses from Chemistry, Cognitive Science, Earth Sciences
and Physics. The parent discipline of the student may specify one course out of the
two courses which a student is required to complete. The courses which are covered
under the Science basket will be updated from time to time and the currently approved
list, along with courses specified by the parent disciplines, is shown in Annexure I. In
addition, all students are required to complete an additional 4 credits of Basic Science
electives, which may also include courses from the Science basket. [Note: All Science
Basket courses can also be considered as Basic Science electives. However, all Basic
Science electives are NOT Science basket courses.]

5. Three mathematics courses [MA 103: Calculus of Single Variable & Linear Algebra
(4 credits), MA 104: Ordinary Differential Equations (2 credits), MA 203: Numerical
Methods (2 credits)] will be mandatory for all undergraduate students. Further, a
student will be required to complete 2 credits worth of courses from the Mathematics
Basket, which may include courses on Calculus of Several Variables, Complex
Analysis, Integral Transform, Optimization Theory and Partial Differential Equations to
name a few. The course to be completed from the Mathematics basket may be specified
by the parent discipline of the student. All Mathematics courses are envisioned to be
offered in the active learning mode, with significant use of visual learning tools,
programming assignments etc.

6. To give students a research experience during their undergraduate programme, all

undergraduate students are required to complete a project course. The student will be
free to do this Open Project Course (4 credits) in the area/discipline of their choice,
any time after the first year of their undergraduate programme. The Institute will also
explore the possibility of creating open project courses on entrepreneurship under the
aegis of IIEC. This project course may also be offered at the IITGN Research Park, in
collaboration with industry partners.

7. In addition to the Open Project Course, students are free to register for project courses
within or outside their parent discipline. These project courses can be at Level 2 (XX-
299), Level 3 (XX-399) or Level 4 (XX-499) and up to 16 credits of such project
courses can be counted towards the graduation requirements.

8. Students will have the opportunity to do Open Electives worth 16 credits.

9. Four semesters of Physical Education (0 credit) courses will be mandatory for all
undergraduate students.

10. Other mandatory Institute level courses include

12. In addition, a comprehensive viva voce is conducted every semester. It is a mandatory

pass/fail activity with grade P/F.

a) All undergraduate students are required to register for comprehensive viva-voce

during every active semester they spend at IITGN. This is applicable for all
undergraduate programmes including Diploma in Engineering, BSc in
Engineering, BTech (and its variants) as well as BTech-MTech and BTech-MSc
dual degrees.
b) Students who have failed to receive a grade in comprehensive viva-voce during
a previous active semester(s) are required to register for pending
comprehensive viva-voce during their next active semester. Comprehensive
viva-voce in such cases will have to be completed within the course adjustment
period of that semester.
c) Competition of comprehensive viva-voce in a semester will be a requirement for
publishing grades of the semester for that student. This requirement shall be
applicable from Semester I, 2024-25.
d) A Pass or a Fail grade in comprehensive viva-voce for all active semesters
will be mandatory for completion of graduation requirements for all
undergraduate students.

13. Two sample academic paths are given below for Institute level courses. Students are
free to choose their own path, in consultation with their faculty advisors.

Academic Affairs Advisory No. 13 (Oct 2024) Page No. 3

B. BTech Curriculum (Applicable for students admitted before AY 2022-23)

The distribution of credits as well as sample academic plans for students admitted
before 2022-23 are shown in Annexure III.

C. Additional Learning
There is a provision of Honours and Minors available to students as an add on to the
base level BTech degree. The students will initially take admission in BTech programme
and will generally register for the minimum requirements of this base level programme.
Besides registering for a number of elective courses as part of their programme
requirement, the students will also be permitted to register for additional courses and
collect some additional credits. Students will not be required to declare the type of
elective or additional learning at the time of registration or during the course. They will
keep collecting these credits by successfully completing different courses during their
four years of stay by following their own planned academic path and aspirations in mind.
At the time of graduation, the students will claim their basic degree of BTech, or BTech

Academic Affairs Advisory No. 13 (Oct 2024) Page No. 4

 with Honours, or BTech with Minor(s) or BTech with Honours and with Minor(s) based
on the collected credits. The requirements of Honours and Minors are given below.

(Applicable for students admitted from AY 2022-23)

1. A student can receive a BTech (Honours) degree if they complete a minimum of 20

additional credits of courses specified by the parent discipline, over and above the
requirements of the base programme. This should include at least one project course
in the area of the parent discipline, in addition to the open project course. Further, two
open electives from the base programme, if it qualifies, may be counted in the 20
additional credits which are needed for Honours.

2. A student can receive a Minor in another discipline/focus area, if they complete a

minimum of 20 additional credits of courses specified by that discipline/focus area
group, over and above the requirements of the base programme. Two open electives
from the base programme, if it qualifies, may be counted in the 20 additional credits
which are needed for a Minor. Please refer to the advisory on Minors for more details
about minors, including currently available minors and list of courses specified by
disciplines (if any). [Note: For students pursuing multiple minors or honours and minor,
a maximum of two open electives from the base programme may be counted in the
additional credits needed for minors and/or honours.]

(Applicable for all other students)

1. Honours: In addition to the requirements of the base level BTech degree, the students
will complete 20 credits of courses which enhance their core competence in their
discipline. It is possible that a course, which is not generally offered by the same
discipline but helps the students deepen their understanding in the core discipline, may
also be considered for Honours with the approval of the DPC and the DOAA. For
Honours, the student will be required to complete 08 credits of BTech projects
related to the discipline. One of the open elective courses of base programme, if it
qualifies, may be counted towards Honours, in which case the requirement of open
electives will reduce to 12 credits.

2. Minor: In addition to the requirements of the base level BTech degree, the students will
complete 20 credits of courses from another discipline which enhance their core
competence in that discipline. It is possible that a course, which is not generally offered
by that particular discipline but helps the students deepen their core understanding in
that discipline, may also be considered for Minor with the approval of the DPC and
DOAA. One of the open elective courses of base programme, if it qualifies, may be
counted towards Minor, in which case the requirement of open electives will reduce to
12 credits. [Note: For students pursuing multiple minors or honours and minor, a
maximum of one open elective from the base programme may be counted in the
additional credits needed for minors and/or honours.]

D. Academic Load

§ A student will normally register for 20 - 24 credits in a semester as per the respective
programme. Each course carries a weightage in terms of credits depending upon the
study load on the student and/or the number of contact hours (lectures and tutorials)
and/or laboratory hours.

§ There is no limit on the total number of project courses which a student can register
during their programme. However, a maximum of 16 credits of project courses can

Academic Affairs Advisory No. 13 (Oct 2024) Page No. 5

 be counted towards graduation requirements, irrespective of whether the student
claims for BTech or BTech with Honours.
§ A student may register up to a maximum of 28 credits in a semester. However,
Faculty Advisor may specify a lower limit than 28 credits.
§ A student who is placed on Guided Progress Scheme (GPS) can register for a
maximum of 21 credits. For detailed norms about GPS scheme, please refer
Academic Affairs Advisory on IWS.
§ A student with CPI of 7.0 or above may be recommended by the Faculty Advisor to take
an overload of one course (up to a maximum of 32 credits) subject to the approval of
Chair, SAPC. Any relaxation to the minimum CPI requirement for overload may be
considered by the Chair, SAPC based on the recommendation of DPC.
§ Similarly, Chair, SAPC may allow a student to take a reduced load. Also, a deficient
student may be required to take a reduced load as per the provisions/recommendations
of SAPEC/Faculty Advisor/SAPC/ decisions of the Senate.
§ A student can register for one-credit short courses in addition to any of the above-
mentioned limits of academic load. These courses are not counted as overload. These
credits are not considered in graduation requirements; however, the successfully
completed courses with their titles will be mentioned in the proficiency transcripts.

§ A student is required to seek approval for academic overload/underload.

§ No student is allowed to register for more than 10 credits during the summer term.

E. Early Termination

(Applicable for students admitted from AY 2023-24)

§ Any student failing to earn a minimum of 30 credits within one year from his/her start
of the first year programme (either due to admission or due to restart) should start
his/her programme afresh or exit the programme. A student needs to secure a
passing grade for earning the credits registered for the course.

§ If the programme is restarted, then the credits earned and semesters registered prior to
restart will not be carried over.

§ Restart will be permitted only once.

(Applicable for students admitted in AY 2022-23)

§ Any student failing to earn a minimum of 21 credits at the end of Term II can either
apply to start his/her programme afresh or will have to exit the programme.

any GE course of equivalent credit may be taken.

Academic Affairs Advisory No. 13 (Oct 2024) Page No. 6

§ The maximum period allowed to complete the programme will be six years (the first
year or first semester if repeated will not be counted).

(Applicable for students admitted before AY 2022-23)

§ Any student failing to earn a minimum of 26 credits at the end of first two registered
(active) semesters can either apply to start his/her programme afresh or will have
to exit the programme.

§ If the programme is restarted, then the credits earned and semesters registered prior
to restart will not be carried over.

§ If a student fails to earn 26 credits in the first two semesters but successfully completes
15 or more credits in the second active semester, then only the first semester will be
repeated i.e. the student will be deemed to have fresh start from the second active
semester.

§ The restart will be permitted only once.

§ Upon restart, the student must successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits at the
end of first semester and a minimum of 26 credits at the end of first two semesters, or
else his/her admission will be terminated and no further chance shall be given.

any HSS course of equivalent credit may be taken.

§ The maximum period allowed to complete the programme will be six years (the first
year or first semester if repeated will not be counted).

F. Duration of the Programme

(Applicable for students admitted from AY 2023-24)

§ For all programmes, there will be no maximum permissible duration to complete the
requirements of the programme. However, at any time, credits earned older than eight
years will be deemed expired and will not count towards the graduation requirements.

§ After X years + 3 semesters, a request from the student is needed to extend the
programme on a semester by semester basis, where X is the nominal period for a given
programme (4 years for BTech/BSc and 5 years for BTech-MTech).

§ This is applicable for students admitted from AY 2023-24. However, students from
previous batches may opt for being considered under the above norms for duration of
the programme.

(Applicable for students admitted before AY 2023-24)

§ For the BTech programme, the maximum duration permitted, within which the
programme must be completed, is 12 semesters. If a student desires to finish his/her
BTech programme in seven semesters, by successfully completing the other graduation
requirements, he/she may be permitted to do so.
