Online Elective
There is also a provision for students to choose elective courses through online mode such as MOOC’s, SWAYAM, NPTEL and other equivalent platforms. For such courses students should adhere to the guidelines prescribed by the University.
International Competitions
The student can also earn 3 or 4 credits by participating in the international competitions like technical presentation/conference/publications in the journal etc., and winning the award in that. In that case he/she can be exempted from one of the elective courses of the programme
Group Project
A group of up to 5 students can come together to work on an interdisciplinary project in consultation with faculty. Students are required to develop a report for assessment and demonstrate the working of the product, and the project needs to be approved by a committee before it is executed. The IPR rights of all such work lies with the University only.
Industry Internship or Project
A student can opt for an internship in an industry, a business or research organisation. Alternately, students can undertake a mini-project which requires self-directed study that can be pursued with an affiliated faculty member. The internship needs to be approved by the HoD and Dean and students have to submit a report and make a presentation to a panel constituted by the HoD for assessment. Students also have the opportunity to pursue their internship at Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU).
Dissertation and Publication
This course includes a dissertation and publication. Each student has to choose a relevant topic for a dissertation and this needs to be approved by a committee constituted by the HoD. The dissertation should then be converted into a technical paper published in reputed conferences or journals.
