Yes, we have Visiting Professors from other universities and Industry Professors from the industry coming to our campus.

1. Most of our Electives are taught by Industry Professors – this gives our students opportunities to work at the frontier of research and industrial domains.
2. We offer 8 electives given to undergrads, 5 in the stream of specialisation, 3 outside of their stream, thus enabling them to expand their knowledge and give shape to their creativity.
3. We have evolved the following mechanisms to provide Industry exposure to our students:
1. Elective handled by Industry Professors
2. 8-week mid-course summer project/ internship
3. 6-month Industrial practice/ internship

If you want to change your programme (B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering to Electronics & Communication Engineering, for instance), you can do it at the end of your first year without loss of time. You can change a course if the course is an elective course. If a course is compulsory, you cannot change it.

There is a break of two weeks between the two semesters.

A. Students get to know about each and every service and the names of concerned staff/ faculty members on the day of joining the University. You will know the names and contact details of your Teachers, Wardens, Mentors and others.

Every student's credentials are best established by his/ her track record in the classroom, not only in terms of attendance, but participation as well. If a student has a sound record of her/ his diligence towards academics, that suffices for the teacher to permit a leave of absence.

The system of education at NU is based on course-wise forward movement. A student registers in six courses in a semester. The student is required to maintain a minimum aggregate performance of 4.5 CGPA at the end of every semester. If she/ he fails to maintain the minimum performance score, she/he gets less than six courses in the next semester. Alternatively, a student may be required to repeat a course of the previous semester while she/ he will be doing the courses of the following semester.

A student is required to maintain 75% attendance failing which a student is debarred from appearing for the examinations.

Theory vs. Practicals ratio by credits is roughly 5 : 3.

The holiday list is available on the NU website even prior to admission.

If any class is missed due to illness, a student has the following options to make up for the missed portion of the curriculum:

1. Access the lecture on NU's Learning Management System, Moodle
2. Consult the concerned faculty member
3. Take help from a batchmate
4. All of the above

There is no Fail grade in the NU system. There are five grades, A, B, C, D and E. All grades are acceptable grades. That is to say that if a student gets E grade in two courses out of six, she/he can still move forward and register in the next set of six courses in the following semester. However, this is accompanied by two conditions. The first is the limit on total number of E grades that a student can carry, i.e. three. If the E grade exceeds three, a student has to repeat the course and improve his/ her grade. The second condition requires the student to maintain a minimum CGPA of 4.5 at the end of any semester.
NU follows a system of continuous evaluation. There is no concept of 'Supplementary' examination in NU.

You will lose marks for that assignment(s) and/ or project(s). Your grade will be affected as you would have not completed 100% of the evaluation in a given course.
