MINOR

Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if s/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 basket of 3-6 courses is
identified for each Minor. Each basket may rest on one or more foundation courses. A basket may have
sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic courses in the basket. S/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 grade card.
(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 is 182
(162 + 20 credits from value added courses)
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three courses listed in
the curriculum for minor, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the chosen area. They can
do miniproject either in S7 or in S8. The remaining 8 credits could be acquired by undergoing 2 MOOCs
recommended by the Board of studies and approved by the Academic Council or through courses listed in
the curriculum. 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.
(vi) The registration for minor program will commence from semester 3 and the all academic units
offering minors in their discipline should prescribe set of such courses. The courses shall be grouped into
maximum of 3 baskets. The basket of courses may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may
rest on basic courses in the basket. Reshuffling of courses between various baskets will not be allowed. In
any case, they should carry out a mini project based on the chosen area in S7 or S8. Students who have
registered for B.Tech Minor in CIVIL ENGINEERING Branch can opt to study the courses listed below:

HONOURS
Honours is an additional credential a student may earn if s/he opts for the extra 20 credits needed for this
in her/his own discipline. Honours is not indicative of class. KTU is providing this option for academically
extra brilliant students to acquire Honours. Honours is intended for a student to gain expertise/specialise
in an area inside his/her major B.Tech discipline and to enrich knowledge in emerging/advanced areas in
the branch of engineering concerned. 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

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 3-6 courses is identified for each Minor. Each bucket may rest on one or more

164
 COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

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 grade card.
(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 miniproject 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.

(vi) 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

MINOR
Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if s/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 basket of
3-6 courses is identified for each Minor. Each basket may rest on one or more foundation
courses. A basket may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic courses
in the basket. S/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 grade card.

(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
is 182 (162 + 20 credits from value added courses)
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three courses
listed in the curriculum for minor, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the
chosen area. They can do miniproject either in S7 or in S8. The remaining 8 credits could be
acquired by undergoing 2 MOOCs recommended by the Board of studies and approved by the
Academic Council or through courses listed in the curriculum. 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

MINOR

Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if s/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
basket of 3-6 courses is identified for each Minor. Each basket may rest on one or more
foundation courses. A basket may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest
on basic courses in the basket. S/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 grade card.

Notes on Minor from Electrical Engineering Department:

Students have to credit additional 5 courses (20 credits) to receive minor in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering. While choosing the minor basket, at least two courses in the
selected basket should have contents different from the courses in the curriculum of the
parent branch. (This is necessary in the case of related branches like Electronics and
Communication, Electronics and Instrumentation, Applied Electronics and Instrumentation,
Electronics and Biomedical, Computer Science and Engineering etc.) In case where the
student chooses a basket with only two courses different from their parent curriculum, the
remaining courses have to be selected from the approved MOOC courses. This restriction
may be incorporated in the regulations/curriculum.

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 class. KTU is
providing this option for academically extra brilliant students to acquire Honours. Honours is
intended for a student to gain expertise/specialise in an area inside his/her major B.Tech
discipline and to enrich knowledge in emerging/advanced areas in the branch of engineering
concerned. 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 one specified course cannot be earned during the course of the
programme, Honours will not be awarded. The individual course credits earned, however,
will be reflected in the consolidated grade card.

The courses shall be grouped into maximum of 3 groups, each group representing a
particular specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from same
group 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 credits from value added courses).

MINOR

Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if s/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 basket of 3-6
courses is identified for each Minor. Each basket may rest on one or more foundation courses. A
basket may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic courses in the
basket. S/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
grade card.
(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 is
182 (162 + 20 credits from value added courses)
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three courses
listed in the curriculum for minor, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the chosen
area. They can do miniproject either in S7 or in S8. The remaining 8 credits could be acquired by
undergoing 2 MOOCs recommended by the Board of studies and approved by the Academic
Council or through courses listed in the curriculum. The classes for Minor shall be conducted along
with regular classes and no extra time shall be required for conducting the courses.

332
 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

(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.
(vi) The registration for minor program will commence from semester 3 and the all academic units
offering minors in their discipline should prescribe set of such courses. The courses shall be
grouped into maximum of 3 baskets. The basket of courses may have sequences within it, i.e.,
advanced courses may rest on basic courses in the basket. Reshuffling of courses between various
baskets will not be allowed. In any case, they should carry out a mini project based on the chosen
area in S7 or S8. Students who have registered for B.Tech Minor in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

HONOURS
Honours is an additional credential a student may earn if s/he opts for the extra 20 credits needed
for this in her/his own discipline. Honours is not indicative of class. KTU is providing this option for
academically extra brilliant students to acquire Honours. Honours is intended for a student to gain
expertise/specialise in an area inside his/her major B.Tech discipline and to enrich knowledge in
emerging/advanced areas in the branch of engineering concerned. 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 one specified course cannot be earned during the course of
the programme, Honours will not be awarded. The individual course credits earned, however, will
be reflected in the consolidated grade card.
The courses shall be grouped into maximum of 3 groups, each group representing a particular
specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from same group 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 credits from value added courses).
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three
courses listed in the curriculum for honours, of which one course shall be a mini project
based on the chosen area. The remaining 8 credits could be acquired by undergoing 2
MOOCs recommended by the Board of studies and approved by the Academic Council
or through courses listed in the curriculum. 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
without any history of ‘F’ Grade.
(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 3 groups, each group representing a
particular specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from
same group in all semesters. It means that the specialization is to be fixed by the
student and cannot be changed subsequently. In any case, they should carry out a mini
project based on the chosen area in S8. Students who have registered for B.Tech
Honours in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING can opt to study the courses listed below.
