To get a degree equivalent to a regular M.Tech, the student has to opt for 26 credits offline thesis (at IIT Bhilai) after the 3 rd semester. The offline thesis will be for two semesters (semester 4 and semester 5). The selection for the equivalency program will be based on qualifying the mandatory offline written exam and an interaction conducted by IIT Bhilai.
  • Thesis Requirements:
    • To achieve equivalency with the regular offline MTech program, the candidate must complete a total of 26 thesis credits on campus from the fourth semester onwards.
