Note: Undergraduate new admits physical reporting to the institute is scheduled on 28th October 2022
About LEEE
The LEEE mode is for lateral entry to dual degree programmes. Graduates of the dual degree programmes earn two degrees: B.Tech and Master of Science by Research. The Masters degree requires completion of a research thesis. The programme prepares students for research-oriented jobs and higher studies. The duration of the programme is 4 years.
The dual-degree programmes that a LEEE applicant is eligible for are
Am I eligible ?
The eligibility criteria for ECD and CSD programmes are as below.
