NOTE:
- Professional courses, as required by various Disciplines, have to be credited to major in that Discipline.
- For all laboratory courses, practical work, including notebook writing should be completed during the laboratory hours.
- After the mid-semester examination of the 8th semester, students will be assigned a supervisor for their Project Work.
- Minimum number of credits required for the award of BS-MS (Dual Degree) in EES (in addition to all other criteria applicable across disciplines, as elaborated in the UG manual) is 197.
