Honours & Additional Minors in Engineering
To promote academic excellence and interdisciplinary learning, the institute provides students with the opportunity to pursue Honours or an Additional Minor in Engineering alongside their regular B. Tech programme. These academic pathways enable students to broaden their knowledge beyond their core discipline, develop specialized competencies, and enhance their preparedness for diverse career opportunities in the evolving technological landscape.
