Bridge courses
The objective of Bridge courses scheme is to bridge the gap that would possibly exist between the course objectives and the newly joined aspirants in terms of orienting their academic environment and partly to eliminate the fear factor that might cripple their understanding into becoming engineers with a social concern and responsibility.
During the first semester of all programmes offered by the University, students will be advised to register for the courses (all or courses of their choice based on the guidance from the HoD/Program Chair during the orientation) from the list of “Courses Offered” for their specific programme. Depending on the proficiency in language and other necessary fundamental disciplines, the student may be asked to undergo some special courses (bridge courses), as recommended by his/her programme curriculum, to compensate his/her inadequacy. These courses will be recommended based on a screening test conducted by the University or based on the subjects student had completed during his/her previous qualifying school examinations. The credits and grades so obtained will not be counted for the CGPA calculation / towards the minimum credit requirements for the completion of the course.
