Special Notes/Instructions:
Minor/Double Major programs
• Each engineering department should identify the list of courses for the minor & Double
Major degree programmes. These identified courses will be offered to the Minor/Double
Major degree students in every branch.
• To get Minor degree in any engineering branch, a student has to earn 12 Credits (6 Core
credits + 6 Elective Credits) prescribed for the programme.
• To get Double Major degree in any engineering branch, a student has to earn 24 Credits (12
Core credits + 12 Elective Credits) prescribed for the programme.
• The Minor & Double Major choices start from the beginning of 3rd Semester.
• The students of Minor & Double Major courses will sit with regular students in the class.
• There will a separate time table slots for Minor & Double Major courses identified by each
department to enable the students to register for these courses. Courses other than Minor &
Double Major courses will not be offered during these slots.
• A student is permitted to do one Minor and one Double Major at max.
• Each department will choose a CGPA cut off (based on II Sem CGPA) such that the total of
Minor and Double Major students in any branch do not cross maximum of 30 seats.
