M.Tech. in Electronics Engineering is a two-year course generally divided into 4 semesters. Apart from the courses in electronics, students also have to present a dissertation paper in the last semesters. While first two semesters are based on imparting theoretical, the third includes elective papers, seminar and sometimes even a dissertation and fourth wholly includes a dissertation on a selected paper. The course delivery methods in the program include classroom lectures, discussions, presentations and industry visits.
Scheme of Assessment
In M.Tech. in Electronics Engineering there is a credit allotted to each theory class, seminars, practical sessions and dissertations. In addition to the examinations held at the end of each semester, students are also assessed on certain parameters such as attendance, presentation, assignment, and class participation for internal assessment marks. The final weightage for each of these parameters is given below:
