The Senate in its 39th meeting held on 25th April, 2023, vide item no. 39.9 discussed the proposal for thesis credit structure for M.Tech(Research) programme.

After detailed discussion, the Senate approved the following:

1. The students of M.Tech. (Research)/M.Sc. (Research)/MA (Research) programs need to complete 60 thesis credits to fulfill the requirement of the degree in addition to the prescribed course credits as applicable for individual programs.
2. The course name will be “M.Tech. Thesis” with code XX699P, for the M.Tech. (Research)/M.Sc. (Research)/MA (Research) programs where ‘XX’ represents the relevant school/center/discipline code. The thesis course will appear in the transcript every semester till a thesis is formally submitted.
3. The thesis course needs to be registered by the student every semester until the thesis submission and the supervisor needs to evaluate it as Satisfactory (P)/ Unsatisfactory (F) during grade submission.
4. The course will be shown as ‘IP’ (in Progress) in the grade report of each semester with awarded performance grade P or F. The total credit for the thesis will be added only in the final grade report. Thesis credit will not be counted towards the grade points (i.e., SGPA/CGPA).
5. The supervisor’s evaluation of the thesis credit at the end of every semester is in addition to the evaluation by the concerned APC as applicable.

7. If a student’s performance is unsatisfactory on medical grounds, maternity leave, semester withdrawal etc., the student may take approval, through the APC, of the competent authority to drop the thesis credit from that semester.
8. Fellowship duration for M.Tech. (Research)/M.Sc. (Research)/MA (Research) programmes will be of 2.5 yrs. Maximum duration of the program is 3 yrs.  Part time/ERP programmes will get one additional year i.e., maximum duration is 4 years.
