Further, over and above the prescribed number of electives, students may also be allowed to take a maximum number of four Optional Electives on their own.
  • Departure from normal pace: Students may be allowed to make a plan to graduate earlier or later than the time visualized in the normal situation. However, students going slow must ensure that they remain outside the provisions of the sanctions imposed by the Academic Counseling Committee.
  • Repetition of courses: Students who are yet to complete the B.Tech. Program, are permitted to repeat a course, at their own option, with a view to improving their grades, provided the course is offered during the semester.
