Academic Flexibilities

Choice Based Credit System

IcfaiTech was one of the earliest engineering institutions to adopt and implement the choice-based credit system in the country. The students are given the choice of choosing what courses they would like to study. The courses are offered in the form of electives. The students can choose electives that are interdisciplinary and need not be the electives of their program. For example, a student of Computer Science and Engineering can choose an elective that is offered in Electronics and Communication Engineering or for that matter Data Science or Mechanical Engineering. This choice of electives is possible as long as the student has satisfied the appropriate prerequisite conditions if any for that course. Read More

Audit Courses

There are certain courses amongst the offering of the University which are neither part of programs nor available through electives. Any student who wishes to take such courses can take them only on an audit basis and also on payment of additional fees. The facility of taking a course on audit is principally conceived to allow a student to update his/her knowledge. Read More

Optional Electives

Apart from the prescribed number of electives as part of the curriculum, IcfaiTech also allows students to register for up to two additional electives. These courses chosen can be such that it enables the student to gain additional knowledge in a specialised subject over and above the ones that he/she has chosen as electives. Read More

Program Transfer (Within the same tier)

Students can seek transfer from one program to another in the middle of a program without starting from the beginning. This is possible because students are given credit for what they have done till then towards the requirements of the program to which they seek the transfer. For further details, the Academic Regulations have to be consulted.

Since admission to a program is done on an assigned and competitive basis, there cannot be any scope of undoing the fact of an assigned admission through transfer. Thus only exceptionally meritorious students in a limited number of cases can expect to compete for transfer to a more sought-after program. On the other hand, transfer to a less sought-after program for students who are unable to cope with the rigours of the program in which they have been admitted would be readily used to rehabilitate themselves without much loss of time. In any event, the transfer must be treated as an admission process. Read More

Departure From Normal Pace

The academic structure followed at IcfaiTech enables a student to deviate from the normal pace of the program into which the candidate has been admitted. That is the tenure of the student at the Institute may be decelerated or accelerated depending on the academic health of the student. For further details and the exact mechanism of this process, one must consult the IcfaiTech Academic Regulations. Read More

Other Flexibilities

The IcfaiTech offers more academic flexibilities like offering admission in both semesters, allowing the students to learn during the summer term, the scheme for a dual degree, transfer from one stream to another, auditing a course for improving the knowledge and choosing a minor to focus on supplemental learning. The students are encouraged to refer to the regulations for more details.
