No SEE component for Mini-Project.
Professional Elective Courses (PEC): A professional elective (PEC) course is intended to enhance the depth and breadth of educational experience in the Engineering
and Technology curriculum. Multidisciplinary courses that are added supplement the latest trend and advanced technology in the selected stream of engineering.
Each group will provide an option to select one course. The minimum number of students’ strengths for offering a professional elective is 10. However, this

Elucidation:
At the beginning of IV years of the program i.e., after VI semester, VII semester classwork and VIII semester Research Internship /Industrial Internship / Rural
Internship shall be permitted to be operated simultaneously by the University so that students have ample opportunity for an internship. In other words, a good
percentage of the class shall attend VII semester classwork and a similar percentage of others shall attend to Research Internship or Industrial Internship or Rural
Internship.
Research/Industrial /Rural Internship shall be carried out at an Industry, NGO, MSME, Innovation center, Incubation center, Start-up, center of Excellence (CoE), Study
Centre established in the parent institute and /or at reputed research organizations/institutes.
The mandatory Research internship /Industry internship / Rural Internship is for 14 to 20 weeks. The internship shall be considered as a head of passing and shall be
