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
Programme abbreviation Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) Master of Science by Research
ECD  Electronics and Communication
Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering
CSD  Computer Science and
Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering

The eligibility criteria for ECD and CSD programmes are as below.
  • ECD : Applicants completing their 4 Semesters of B.E. / B.Tech. in ECE / ETE / EIE / EEE / IoT / Instrumentation and Control Engineering / Electronics and Computer Engineering by July 2024
  • CSD : Applicants completing their 4 Semesters of B.E. / B.Tech. in CSE / IT/ AI & ML / Data Science / Software Engineering by July 2024
Applicants with a keen interest in a research programme and/or an aggregate of 80% marks (or 8/10 cumulative grade point average) are strongly encouraged to apply.
Note: The normal eligibility is to complete 4 semesters. If due to COVID-19 aftermath there was a delay and only 3 semesters have been completed at the time of application, it will be accepted.
