Program Structure
A self-paced programme of 62 credits (choice based)
The credits can be earned over 3 to 4 years.
Theory coursework: 27 credits.
Laboratory: 08 credits
Dissertation: 24 credits
Comprehensive Viva: 03 credits
Projects in last two semesters (after the course works are complete), 12 credits each.
The students will have the option of taking lesser number of courses in a semester and
complete the coursework requirement in 3 to 4 years.
The projects can be taken only after all the credits of the core courses are earned.
Intake
Thirty (30) per year
Eligibility
Qualifying degree: B.Tech./B.E. degree in CS/IT/ECE, an MCA, or an MSc/MS in
CS/IT/ECE.
The candidate should have scored at least 60% aggregate in the degree examination. The
candidates from industry, after acquiring the qualifying degree may join the course, subject to
the approval of the parent organization.
Age Limit: There is no upper age limit for admission in the programme.
Admission Procedure
Admission will be done as per merit in the entrance test conducted by IIIT Kalyani.
Course Modality
The programme will be conducted via live online classes and virtual labs conducted over the
weekends. The schedule will be communicated in advance and be flexible enough so that
working professionals can manage smoothly.
Degree to be conferred
After successful completion of the full credit requirement, student will get

Fee Structure and Registration System
For successful completion of the program, a student has to earn 62 credits in total. The credit
structure is shown in the table above. The fee structure will have two components:
(a) Registration fee of INR 10,000 per semester to keep the enrolment active.
(b) The course fee: Rs. 5000 per theory credit registration and Rs. 3000 per sessional / project
credit registration. For example, in a semester, if a student registers for C1 theory credits and
C2 sessional / project credits then the candidate has to pay INR (5000 × C1 + 3000 × C2
+ 10000) in that semester.
**All the credits must be earned within eight semesters (four years) to get the degree.
