Registration of Professional Elective Courses from Verticals:
These courses are listed in groups called verticals that represent a particular area of specialization / diversified group. Students are permitted to choose all the Professional Electives
from a particular vertical or from different verticals. Further, only one Professional Elective course shall be chosen in a semester horizontally (row-wise). However, two courses are
permitted from the same row, provided one course is enrolled in Semester V and another in semester VI. The registration of courses for B.E./B.Tech (Honours) or Minor degree shall
be done from Semester V to VIII. The procedure for registration of courses explained above shall be followed for the courses of B.E./B.Tech (Honours) or Minor degree also.
