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 3-6courses 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
gradecard.
(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.

The registration for minor program will commence from semester 3 and all the academic units
offering minors in their discipline should prescribe set of such courses. The courses shall be
grouped into 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 option to skip any two courses listed here and to
opt for equivalent MOOC courses approved by the Academic 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 Artificial intelligence and Data Science can opt to study the
courses listed in minor baskets under Computer Science & Engineering Programme.

HONOURS

Honours is an additional credential a student may earn if she/he opts for the extra 20 credits
needed for this in her/his 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 course 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 maximum of 3 buckets, each bucket representing a
particular specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from 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 courses, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the chosen
area. 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 same bucket as the above 3 courses. The classes for Honours
shall be conducted along with regular classes and no extra time shall be required
for conducting the courses. The students should earn a grade of ‘C’ or better for
all courses under Honours.
(iv) There won’t be any supplementary examination for the courses chosen for
Honours.
(v) On successful accumulation of credits at the end of the programme, “Bachelor
of Technology in xxx,with Honours” will be awarded if overall CGPA is greater
than or equal to 8.5, earned a grade of ‘C’ or better for all courses chosen for
Honours and there is no history of ‘F’ Grade in the entire span of the B. Tech
Course.
 Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
(vi) The registration for Honours program will commence from semester 4 and the
all academic units offering Honours in their discipline should prescribe set of
such courses. The courses shall be grouped into maximum of 5 buckets, each
bucket representing a particular specialization in the branch. The students shall
select only the courses from same bucket in all semesters. It means that the
specialization is to be fixed by the student and cannot be changed subsequently.
There is option to skip any two courses listed here if required, and to opt for
equivalent MOOC courses approved by the Academic Council. In any case, they
should carry out a mini project based on the chosen area in S8. For example:
Students who have registered for B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data
Science with Honours can opt to study the courses listed in one of the buckets
