(Non-IT) degree programme to which he/she was first admitted. The additional courses are to be offered from
3rd to 8th Semester after normal working hours so that the regular B.E/B.Tech. (NonIT) remains unaffected.

B.

A candidate undergoing dual degree programme should satisfy minimum attendance requirements for the course
of additional Curriculum for each semester, as stipulated for the regular B.E/B.Tech. Degree Programme.

C.

For the courses of additional Curriculum, a candidate has to write the same examination that is held for the
regular B.E. Computer Science.

D.

The passing rules for the dual degree programme shall be same as that of the regular B.E/B.Tech. Degree
programme.

E.

A candidate shall be declared to be eligible for the additional degree of B.E. Computer Science provided that
(i)
(ii)
(iii)

The candidate has qualified for the regular B.E. or B.Tech. Degree in the non-IT branch in which
he/she was originally admitted.
The candidate has successfully completed all the courses prescribed in the additional Curriculum
within a maximum period of 12 semesters from the date of first admission.
There is no disciplinary action pending against the student.

PROJECT WORK AND VIVA VOCE

The objective of the project work is to make use of the knowledge gained by the student at various stages of
the degree course. Students, will also be permitted to undertake industrial/consultancy project Work, outside the
department, in industries/Research labs.
There shall be three assessments during the semester by a review committee. The student shall make three
presentations on the progress made before the committee at various stages of the Project work. The Head of the
Department shall constitute the review committee for each branch of study. The total marks obtained in the three
reviews, shall be taken in to account. There will be a viva-voce examination at the end of the Project work, conducted
by one internal examiner and one external examiner. The total marks secured will be the sum of marks secured in
the Project reviews and Viva Voce Examination.
Each student is required to submit a Project report on the project assigned to him by the department. The
report should be based on the information available in the literature or data obtained by the student by way of
experiments conducted in the laboratory/industry.
