The six either/or pairs
| Pair | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Applied Physics | Applied Chemistry |
| 2 | Fund. of Electrical Engg | Fund. of Electronics Engg |
| 3 | Indian Knowledge System | Prof. Communication & Tech. Writing |
| 4 | AI & Prompt Engineering | Fund. of Mechanical Engg |
| 5 | Engineering Drawing (CAED) Lab | Innovation & Design Thinking Lab |
| 6 | Language Lab | Environment & Sustainability |
You study one option of each pair in Semester I and the other in Semester II. The syllabus is the same; only the code changes (1xx in Sem I, 2xx in Sem II). Labs follow their theory subject.
How marks work
- Theory: 30 internal (class tests + teacher assessment) + 70 end-semester.
- Labs: 50 internal + 50 external.
- General Proficiency: 50 marks, internal, non-credit.
- AICTE activity points: 100 (lateral entry 75) needed for the degree. Track yours
