BTech Majors and Minors

A Major is the primary academic area in which a student chooses to develop deeper knowledge, skills, and expertise during the undergraduate programme.

At Plaksha, students can choose from four UG Majors:

• Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence (CSAI)
• Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS)
• Data Science, Economics & Business (DSEB)
• Biological Systems Engineering (BSE)

Major provides a structured pathway for building depth in a chosen area, while the broader Plaksha curriculum continues to provide exposure to other disciplines.

What does a Major at Plaksha include?

Each Major comprises 80 credits that are specifically associated with the chosen area of study. These credits are made up of:

• Core Courses
  These courses provide the foundational knowledge and essential concepts that every student pursuing the Major is expected to develop. They establish the academic foundation needed to understand and work within the field.
• Electives
  These courses provide students with the opportunity to explore areas of interest within their Major and develop greater depth in selected topics. Students can use these electives to shape their academic pathway according to their interests and aspirations.

Together, the core courses and Major electives provide a balance between breadth within the discipline and depth in selected areas.

The major helps a student:

• Build a strong foundation in a specific academic and professional area.
• Develop deeper expertise through advanced and specialised courses.
• Explore different sub-areas within the discipline through electives.
• Connect knowledge from different disciplines to solve complex, real-world problems.
• Build an academic foundation for future careers, entrepreneurship, research, or postgraduate study.
