Course Code and Course Number
Each course is denoted by a unique code consisting of three alphabets followed by three
numerals like E C L 2 0 1. The first two letter code refers to the department offering the
course. EC stands for course in Electronics & Communication, course code MA refers to a
course in Mathematics, course code ES refers to a course in Engineering Science etc. Third
letter stands for the nature of the course as indicated in the Table 1.
Table 1: Code for the courses

Code Description

T Theory based courses (other the lecture hours, these courses can have tutorial
and practical hours, e.g., L-T-P structures 3-0-0, 3-1-2, 3-0-2 etc.)
L Laboratory based courses (where performance is evaluated primarily on the basis
of practical or laboratory work with LTP structures like 0-0-3, 1-0-3, 0-1-3 etc.)
N Non-credit courses
D Project based courses (Major, Mini Projects)
Q Seminar Courses

Course Number is a three digit number and the first digit refers to the Academic year in
which the course is normally offered, i.e. 1, 2, 3, or 4 for the B. Tech. Programme of four
year duration. Of the other two digits, the last digit identifies whether the course is offered
normally in the odd (odd number), even (even number) or in both the semesters (zero). The
middle number could be any digit. ECL 201 is a laboratory course offered in EC department
for third semester, MAT 101 is a course in Mathematics offered in the first semester, EET
344 is a course in Electrical Engineering offered in the sixth semester, PHT 110 is a course in
Physics offered both the first and second semesters, EST 102 is a course in Basic Engineering
offered by one or many departments. These course numbers are to be given in the
curriculum and syllabi.

to extend further the investigative study taken up in Project 1, either fully
theoretical/practical or involving both theoretical and practical work, under the
guidance of a Supervisor from the Department alone or jointly with a Supervisor
drawn from R&D laboratory/Industry. This is expected to provide a good training for
the student(s) in R&D work and technical leadership. The assignment to normally
include:
 In depth study of the topic assigned in the light of the Report prepared under
PhaseI;
 Review and finalization of the Approach to the Problem relating to the

MINOR

Minor is an additional credential a student may earn if s/he does 20 credits worth of
additional learning in a discipline other than her/his major discipline of B.Tech. degree. The
objective is to permit a student to customize their Engineering degree to suit their specific
interests. Upon completion of an Engineering Minor, a student will be better equipped to
perform interdisciplinary research and will be better employable. Engineering Minors allow
a student to gain interdisciplinary experience and exposure to concepts and perspectives
that may not be a part of their major degree programs.

The academic units offering minors in their discipline will prescribe the set of courses and/or
other activities like projects necessary for earning a minor in that discipline. A specialist
basket of 3-6 courses is identified for each Minor. Each basket may rest on one or more
foundation courses. A basket may have sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest
on basic courses in the basket. S/he accumulates credits by registering for the required
courses, and if the requirements for a particular minor are met within the time limit for the
course, the minor will be awarded. This will be mentioned in the Degree Certificate as
“Bachelor of Technology in xxx with Minor in yyy”. The fact will also be reflected in the
consolidated grade card, along with the list of courses taken. If one specified course cannot
 NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND SHIP BUILDING
be earned during the course of the programme, that minor will not be awarded. The
individual course credits earned, however, will be reflected in the consolidated grade card.
(i) The curriculum/syllabus committee/BoS shall prepare syllabus for courses to be included
in the curriculum from third to eight semesters for all branches. The minor courses shall be
identified by M slot courses.
(ii) Registration is permitted for Minor at the beginning of third semester. Total credits
required is 182 (162 + 20 credits from value added courses)
(iii) Out of the 20 Credits, 12 credits shall be earned by undergoing a minimum of three
courses listed in the curriculum, of which one course shall be a mini project based on the
chosen area. They can do miniproject on the chosen area in S7 or S8. The remaining 8
credits could be acquired by undergoing 2 MOOCs recommended by the Board of studies
and approved by the Academic Council or through courses listed in the curriculum. The
classes for Minor shall be conducted along with regular classes and no extra time shall be
required for conducting the courses.
(iv) There won’t be any supplementary examination for the courses chosen for Minor.
(v) On completion of the program, “Bachelor of Technology in xxx with Minor in yyy” will be
awarded.
(vi) The registration for minor program will commence from semester 3 and the all
academic units offering minors in their discipline should prescribe set of such courses. The
courses shall be grouped into maximum of 3 baskets. The basket of courses may have
sequences within it, i.e., advanced courses may rest on basic courses in the basket.
Reshuffling of courses between various baskets will not be allowed. In any case, they should
carry out a mini project based on the chosen area in S7 or S8. Students who have registered
for B.Tech Minor in NAVAL ARCHITECTURE & SHIP BUILDING Branch can opt to study the
courses listed below:

HONOURS
Honours is an additional credential a student may earn if s/he opts for the extra 20 credits
needed for this in her/his own discipline. Honours is not indicative of class. KTU is providing
this option for academically extra brilliant students to acquire Honours. Honours is intended
for a student to gain expertise/specialise in an area inside his/her major B.Tech discipline
and to enrich knowledge in emerging/advanced areas in the branch of engineering
concerned. It is particularly suited for students aiming to pursue higher studies. Upon
