PGDIIT Programme

• Disciplines: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
• 2-semester programme (may take longer based on the successful completion of coursework)
• Total minimum 32-48 credits in course work (actual minimum credits determined by individual disciplines).
• A typical course of 3 lectures per week is assigned 4 credits

Admission Procedure

Admission is generally offered on the basis of a written test and interview.

The Institute may also exercise the option of offering admission to a few outstanding candidates based on academic record and/or GATE, without calling them for written test and interview.

The written test is generally based on the topics related to general aptitude (logical reasoning, analytical and numerical ability, etc.), engineering mathematics, and basic courses in various disciplines up to 3rd year of undergraduate programme. The candidates who do not qualify in the written test need not appear for interview. The reserved category candidates will be given due relaxation in cutoff marks as per the norms.

The candidates called for the Test and Interview will be reimbursed any amount exceeding Rs.750/- for to and fro single second-sleeper class railway fare by the shortest route from their place of residence to the Institute /venue of the Test / Interview. For example, in case of total railway fare of Rs.1400/- the candidate will be reimbursed Rs.650/-. It is required to produce evidence (railway ticket) in support of the claim.
