Programme Requirements

Rules, Thesis & Support

Thesis

Students are encouraged to approach faculty members in their specialization for discussing potential thesis research topics. One year of thesis work is required for a successful completion of the Master's degree. The thesis must lead to work of reputably publishable, patentable, or deployable technology.

Thesis guidelines →

Guidance & Support

Students in their first year are advised by a faculty advisor for their specialization and year of admission. During the thesis research, the thesis advisor (supervisor) is the main counsel. Additionally, students can approach DPGC and other bodies for special cases of support.
