Principal Subjects

Initially, a student registers for a general degree programme, and at the end of the third year, he/she may continue to follow the general degree programme or register for a special degree programme in a principal subject. The second option is possible only if he/she fulfills certain criteria for selection to a special degree programme (Minimum of 2.8 GPA at 3rd year). The duration of a general degree programme is normally three years, while that of a special degree programme is four years. General degree students may at the end of 3rd year be selected based on performance and given the option of following courses for an additional year with special emphasis on industry-related courses leading to a B.Sc. special degree in place of a General Degree.
