Elective Courses

From 4th year Odd semester, the department starts offering elective courses under three (3) major tracks viz. Power-, Electronics-, and Communication- Engineering.

Track selection:

1.      Students will be divided into the three major tracks on the basis of options given by the students and their CGPA at the end of 3rd year odd semester. For regular students, this will be done in 3rd year even semester.

2.      Maximum number of students in any major group will be N/3, where N is the total number of students in a class.

3.      A student will have to take five (5) elective courses along with the corresponding sessional courses from the respective track.

4.      Students will be assigned their projects/ theses in 4th year odd semester. The theme of project/thesis shall reflect the respective track.

5.      Maximum class size of an elective course for regular students will be N/3. However, a student who has previously failed in an elective course will be allowed to re-register the course regardless of the class size.

6.      In case of any unforeseen situation or ambiguity, the UGAC will take an appropriate decision.
