Part-Time Master of Technology (M. Tech.) Programme
The professionals can join the regular M.Tech. programme of the institute on a part-time basis. They have to meet the same requirements for the degree and will be attending classes along with the full-time students of the institute. The required course work can be completed in 4 or 5 semesters. In case of the project option, it will be possible to do the project at the workplace with project co-supervisors at the institute and the place of employment. The objective of the two-year M.Tech. programme is to produce post-graduates with advanced knowledge in one or more areas of Computer Science. The programme is designed such that a student can complete it based on advanced coursework alone. However, the students are given the facility to concentrate on a problem by substituting some of the courses with equivalent project work. The course plan for the M.Tech. programme can be seen in the PG Curriculum section of the institute's webpage. The relevant points are given here, modified for the part-time programme. Credit Requirements The minimum credit requirements for the M.Tech. degree is 65. A maximum of 4 PCO credits can count towards the minimum requirements of the degree. The students are required to register for at least 4 credits in each semester for the first 8 semesters and for at least 4 credits thereafter. The electives may be chosen from any of the courses offered at the institute in that semester. Other than the courses with an asterisk, no more than 4 courses below the level 4000 can count towards the requirements of the Masters degree. Breadth/Depth Requirements A student should take the basic courses in at least 4 of the stream areas and at least one advanced course in a minimum of 3 stream areas to qualify for the Masters. Project Work A student can substitute a maximum of 5 electives with projects. A student can also combine these into a single 20 credit M.Tech. project. This project can be done at an industry with a co-advisor in the institute to ensure the academic content of the project. Academic Performance A student should complete the requirements with a minimum CGPA of 6.5 to receive the M.Tech. degree. Course Duration The M.Tech. degree can be completed in a minimum of 6 semesters and maximum of 10. Fees Part-time students must pay the student status fees, currently equal to Rs 10,000/-, to remain a student each semester. Each course the student registers for will be charged as per the pro-rata rates of the institute. The current pro-rata tuition fee is Rs. 2500/- per credit with a maximum of Rs 10,000/- per course. Part-time students will have access to the institute's library and other academic resources as long as he or she is registered for at least one course.
