JNTUK Guidelines - B.Tech - Major & Minor degree

 JNTUK Looking to global scenario, engineering students should have knowledge of subjects from other branches and some advanced subjects of their respective branch in which they are perusing the degree. To complement the same JNTU Kakinada has decided to take an initiative from 2020-21 in academics by introducing minor to the undergraduate students enrolled in the B. Tech. This gives a provision to the students to pursue minor other than the discipline in which student got admitted. An aspiring student can choose the courses and laboratories in any other discipline and can get a minor in the chosen specialization in addition to regular major B. Tech degree. This way undergraduates are not restricted to learn about courses only in the discipline they get admitted to, but can choose courses of their interest to later on take up a career path of their liking. The students taking up a minor course will get additional credits. A student has to acquire 20 more credits, in addition to 160 credits required, for the award of the minor. The department concerned will determine the required courses for award of minor. The subjects in minor programme would be a combination of mostly core and some electives.
