Banerjee said that the concern of the burden on the students was definitely one of the factors who guided the improvement in our curriculum. We have limited the number of core credits per semester and especially in the first 2 semesters when first year students are involved, they will have a relatively low burden. We have also tried to see that the size of classes should be small in the first year.Also Read: Research of IIT Indore, adding food waste in concrete will increase the strength of construction, will be durable
Class size for 2 semester will now be 150 instead of 300: He said that the size of the class for the first 2 semester would now be 150 instead of 300 so that more personal attention can be ensured. Banerjee said that we have also focused on learning by doing. So it has been in our mind to reduce stress, but we also want to ensure that our curriculum has rigidity and alternative elements and then try to reduce the burden.
In addition to B.Tech degree, a Honors program has been started. In addition, a graduate student can now apply for MTech degree at any available MTech program in IIT Delhi at the end of its third year.
