Industry-linkage is one of the most prominent features of the M.Tech. program.
- One full semester devoted to practice in industry, called Internship, under the joint guidance of industry and NU supervisors. Internship carries a weightage of 12 credits.
- An R&D project of 8 credits during the summer term for which industry supervisors can indicate the nature of the project in which they would like their candidates to work on.
- One elective course of 4 credits customized to the requirement of the sponsoring industry.
Thus, effectively 24 out of 74 credits are aligned directly to the goals of sponsoring industry.
