- Part-time (3 year M.Tech) students can spread their courses over 4 semesters, followed by projects in semesters 5 and 6. Contact your Faculty Advisor to plan your coursework.
- On MTP 1 and MTP 2: MTP 1 presentation & evaluation is held at the end of 3rd semester (October); and MTP 2 final presentation & evaluation is held at the end of 4th semester (May-June). The final defence (MTP 2) will include an External Examiner from outside IITB and an External Chairman from outside IEOR Department.
