HONORS

Honors is an additional credential a student may earn if she/he opts for the extra 20 credits
needed for this in her/his own discipline. Honors is not indicative of a class. The University is
providing this option for academically extra brilliant students to acquire Honors. Honors is
intended for a student to gain expertise/get specialized in an area inside his/her major B.Tech
discipline and to enrich knowledge in emerging/advanced areas in the concerned branch of
engineering. It is particularly suited for students aiming to pursue higher studies. Upon
completion of Honors, a student will be better equipped to perform research in her/his
branch of engineering. On successful accumulation of credits at the end of the programme,
this will be mentioned in the Degree Certificate as “Bachelor of Technology in xxx, with
Honors.” The fact will also be reflected in the consolidated grade card, along with the list of
courses taken. If a student is not earning credits for any one of the specified course for getting
Honors, she/he is not entitled to get Honors. The individual course credits earned, however,
will be reflected in the consolidated grade card.

The courses shall be grouped into maximum of 3 buckets, each bucket representing a
particular specialization in the branch. The students shall select only the courses from same
bucket in all semesters. It means that the specialization is to be fixed by the student and
cannot be changed subsequently. The internal evaluation, examination and grading shall be
exactly as for other mandatory courses. The Honors courses shall be identified by H slot
courses.

(i) The curriculum/syllabus committee/BoS shall prepare syllabus for courses to be

included in the curriculum from fourth to eight semesters for all branches. The
Honors courses shall be identified by H slot courses.

the same bucket as the above 3 courses. The classes for Honors shall be conducted
along with regular classes and no extra time shall be required for conducting the
courses. The students should earn a grade of ‘C’ or better for all courses under
Honors.
(iv) There won’t be any supplementary examination for the courses chosen for
Honors.
(v) On successful accumulation of credits at the end of the programme, “Bachelor of
Technology in xxx, with Honors” will be awarded if overall CGPA is greater than
 COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

or equal to 8.5, earned a grade of ‘C’ or better for all courses chosen for Honors
and there is no history of ‘F’ Grade in the entire span of the BTech Course.
(vi) The registration for Honors program will commence from semester 4 and the all
academic units offering Honors in their discipline should prescribe set of such
courses. The courses shall be grouped into maximum of 5 buckets, each bucket
representing a particular specialization in the branch. The students shall select
only the courses from same bucket in all semesters. It means that the
specialization is to be fixed by the student and cannot be changed subsequently.
There is option to skip any two courses listed here if required, and to opt for
equivalent MOOC courses approved by the Academic Council. In any case, they
