Structure of M.Sc (Engineering) program

First term

In this term, the guide and course for the research needs to be selected. Usually at least one mathematical or mathematical oriented course is selected during this term.

Second term

Students can select any advanced course during this term, if needed. They should select the problem for research and start literature survey. Perspective seminar course is there during this term, where the students should present an abstract of their area of work.

Third term

Experimentation and collection of results will begin during this term. Students should write their Research paper or Technical report. Students having CGPA below 6.0 should write general test during this term.

Fourth term

Students should complete the research work during this term and start writing their thesis.

They should prepare for their future venture, colloquium, thesis defense etc. in this stage.
