M.Tech. Energy Engineering is a 2 year post graduate course where a student has to study core and elective courses, has to perform laboratory experiments, minor and major project work and industrial training in the final year.
Scheme of Assessment
During the course there are sessional and there are semester exams that together construct the scheme of assessment of any student. Sessional exams are of 40 marks for each subject while 60 marks are of semester exams.
