How to read this: L-T-P is Lecture – Tutorial – Practical hours per week. A semester’s second credit figure includes the optional Remedial / Minor / Honours course. Minor (from S3) is 20 extra credits in another discipline: courses from one bucket plus a mini project in S7 or S8, the rest through approved MOOCs. Honours (from S4) is 20 extra credits in your own branch from one group, with a mini project in S8; it is awarded with a CGPA of 8.5 or more, a grade of C or better in every Honours course and no F grade. The curriculum document numbers Minor courses 25x / 35x / 45x and Honours courses 27x / 37x / 47x; the syllabus and exams use 28x / 38x / 48x and 29x / 39x / 49x, which is what is shown here.
