The course code system of a course unit will have a code in the format as CST XYZ-n where ‘X’ is the year of study, ‘Y’ as the subject area, and ‘Z’ as the course number for each subject area. For all codes, ‘n’ will carry the credit allocation of the course unit. Separate numbering systems were followed for the 100 and 200 level subject areas (Y) compared to 300 and 400 level subjects(Y). For each specialization area (Y), two digits were assigned where the lower digit denotes the first semester courses in that particular specialization and the second digit for the second semester course units.

The following digits were assigned for subjects offered at 100 and 200 levels;

Mathematics – 0
Statistics – 1
Biology – 2
Chemistry – 3
Engineering – 4
Physics – 5

The following digits were assigned for subjects offered at 300 and 400 levels;

Mathematics – 0
Statistics – 1
Bioprocess technology – 2,3
Material Science – 4,5
Mechatronics – 6,7
Common courses – 8
Research/ Industrial training – 9

Selection for Specialization areas of Science and Technology Degree Programme;

»  Students will be selected for specialization areas (Food Engineering and Bioprocess Technology, Materials Science and Technology and, Mechatronics) at the end of  second academic year through a competitive selection process.

»  Students should apply for the specialization areas according to their preferences by filling in the application form issued by the Department of Science and Technology.

»  Selection of the students for the specialization areas will be based on the study performance in first and second academic years, performance at the selection interview and the record of extra-curricular activities.

First Year (100 Level)

Second Year (200 Level)
