We have completely revised our curriculum to adopt and align our program with the foundational tenets of the new National Education Policy 2020 developed by the Government of India.  With 160 semester credits over eight semesters, we offer our students a wide variety of technology, basic sciences, and humanities courses. With ample hands-on laboratory and project experience, coupled with focus areas in the latest computational fields, we train our student to not only become well-qualified engineering, but also high-achieving Global Leaders.

Our curriculum includes

Foundational Courses in the First Year such as: Basic Electrical, Mechanical, and Structural Engineering, Biology for Engineers, Engineering Chemistry and Physics, Calculus and Matrices, Numerical Methods, Environmental Studies and Universal Human Values.

Departmental and Flexible Core Courses bring the latest trends in each discipline.  Additionally, we permit our engineering students to take program electives across all engineering disciplines and achieve focus area in the latest technologies such as Cyber Security, Artificial Engineering, Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship, and many more.

In our Industry-Expert led courses, we partner with our industry veterans and develop the courses reflecting the latest industry trends.

With our University Electives, our students can develop their non-technology interests with courses from our other faculty such as Design, Arts, Science, Management and Law.

Opportunities for our students to do individual, mentored research projects, internships and semester long projects, results in an overall well-rounded and skilled engineer sought by the leading companies.
