Additional Notes:

*Only for those who have opted for equivalent degree to the regular Mtech program
- Students registered only for the Executive MTech (Online) Program:
- Total Credits : 10 (Semester I)+ 9 (Semester II)+ 9 (Semester - III) + 12 (Semester - IV) = 40
- Students opted for the equivalent degree to the regular MTech Program
- Total Credits : 10 (Semester I) + 9 (Semester II) + 9 (Semester III) + 12 (Semester - IV) + 14 (Semester V) = 54
Program Equivalency:
- This is an online Executive M.Tech. degree program, which is not equivalent to the regular M.Tech programs of IIT Bhilai. To get a degree equivalent to a regular M.Tech, the student has to opt for 26 credits offline thesis (at IIT Bhilai) after the 3 rd semester. The offline thesis will be for two semesters (semester 4 and semester 5). The selection for the equivalency program will be based on qualifying the mandatory offline written exam and an interaction conducted by IIT Bhilai.
Thesis Requirements:
- To achieve equivalency with the regular off-line MTech program, the candidate must complete a total of 26 thesis credit on campus from the fourth semester onwards.

Program Structure

Total Credits: 40

Core Courses: 12-13 Credits

Elective Courses: 13-14 Credits (if the Campus immersion is opted), otherwise 15-16 credits.

Campus Immersion Program: 2 Credits (optional)

Project: 12 Credits (in 4th Semester)

Evaluation:

Students will be evaluated in each semester. In addition to continuous online evaluation (Mid semester exam / Quiz / assignment / assessment) in the core/elective courses running in the first three semesters, the end semester exams will be offline* proctored exams. The end-semester offline exams in the first three semesters will preferably be conducted at the IIT Bhilai campus to give the candidates an opportunity to visit and explore the IIT Bhilai campus. This may also be clubbed with other activities such as document verification, campus immersion, project team formation, and interaction with the mentors/supervisors, etc. Exams may be organized at other IIT Bhilai Centers, subject to higher demand.

The weightage of online evaluation and end-semester exams will be in the proportion of 40:60. To pass a course, a student must attain a minimum of 40% marks in the total marks.
