M.Tech Project Options (Common for all EE streams)
M.Tech project can be done under these three options to enable a student to pursue summer internship. The project won’t be allowed to extend to the summer after the 4th semester. At the end of the 3rd semester, the student should submit a report and make a presentation. The evaluation committee will then recommend whether or not the student is eligible to continue the project in the 4th semester. If the student is not found eligible, additional course work has to be done so as to meet the total credit requirements for obtaining the M.Tech degree.
