Additional information:

courses in the previous semesters can register only for the course component(s) which they failed to
clear (Y grade).
[2] Students with more courses categorized as ‘yet to complete’ are advised to register for the courses
equivalent to minimal credit requirement during Winter Semester 2017-2018. Additionally, there is
no compulsion for any student to re-register for the ‘yet to complete’ courses during Winter Semester
2017-2018 only. The student has the freedom to register for these courses in subsequent semesters.

laboratory/project under the faculty who will be handling the theory course or under the other faculty

2018 Semester will be considered as 'Discontinuation of Programme' and their studentship is liable to
be cancelled.

and Phase-II registrations. However, the total number of credits registered plus wait-listed courses
