Minimum of 6 course credits (1 course) MUST be an Institute Elective (chosen from among the course list announced by the Institute at the beginning of each semester)
Minimum of 6 course credits (1 course) MUST be from the approved list of electives (includes IE and other department electives).
Registration of courses NOT on the approved list needs prior approval from the students' faculty advisor. The final course plan of the student has to be approved by the student's' Faculty Advisor. The typical course plan for a 2-year M.Tech. programme is given above.
For the M.Tech. Degree, the student must do 90 credits (48 + 42) of Research Work, which culminates in a M.Tech. Thesis. Through the research work, the student must exhibit the ability to think independently and make significant contributions to the field of IEOR.
There are two review stages en-route to the completion of the thesis work, with the second being the final open presentation. Typically, the Stage I review presentation is held in the end of 3rd semester (October); and Stage II final review presentation is held at the end of 4th semester (May-June). The final Thesis Defense will include an external examiner from outside IITB and an external chairman from outside IEOR.
