Sub: Programme Migration option to B.Tech. students


An option to migrate from their currently admitted programme to another programme of their choice is made available for B.Tech. students,subject to the following conditions.
  1. Change of programme is permitted only among B.Tech. programmes offered by the University.

  2. Migration option is open to students who were admitted during the academic year 2017-18.

  3. Students who have a real interest in another programme should demonstrate their genuine interest before they are permitted to migrate to another B.Tech. programme,and this option is not just to move to a more popular branch or for better placement options or 'sliding'.

  4. Students who are interested in migrating to another programme specialization may apply for the same after the publication of Winter 2017-18 semester results. The following factors will be considered before their request is accepted.

    5. a. Their CGPA at the end of their first two semesters (Fall and Winter) carries 40% weightage.

    b. They should take two courses identified for this purpose during the first academic year and demonstrate good academic performance. The letter grades earned in those two courses carry 60% weightage. Such identified courses for various programmes are listed in the Annexure I.

    c. They should have never 'failed' in any of their registered courses (no history of arrears) or should not have received an 'N' or 'Y' grade.

  5. Only students who had paid their second year fees before the set due date are eligible to apply for migration.

  6. Requests of students meeting the above conditions will be processed based on the above criteria. The number of seats available for programme migration will be 2% of programme's admitted strength.

  7. Final decision on the students permitted to migrate will be known only by the end of May. In the following paragraphs,the lower scholarship is referred as higher fees.

    8. a. Students who wish to migrate should accept to pay the higher of the two fees (of the same scholarship category) fixed for both programmes,if there is any difference between the two programmes. The excess second year fees due to migration should be paid before the commencement of next Fall semester. Fee defaulters will be reverted back to their original programme of admission.

    b. In case the migration is from a higher fee to a lower fee,they need to pay their 3rd and 4th year fees that have already been fixed for the programme they migrate to. No refund of fees will be made to students from their first and second year fees due to their migration to a lower fee programme.

  8. Any deficiency in meeting the minimum requirements of the programme migrated into shall be met by taking necessary bridge courses recommended for the programme,subsequent to migration.

  9. A non-refundable amount of Rs. 1000 will be collected as "Application fee" from students who wish to apply for migration. If their migration request is approved,they need to pay the non-refundable "Migration Fee" of Rs. 9000.

  10. Students who wish to migrate need to plan right from the beginning of their second semester (Winter) course registration by registering the specific courses identified for this purpose. Students who had cleared the specified courses but not permitted to migrate can use those courses as their University Elective/ Audit. Students who failed to clear the courses are permitted to convert those courses into Audit.
