(Applicable from the session 2018-2019)

Preamble

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has introduced Model Curriculum for Bachelor of
Technology programme with 160 credits in the entire programme of 4 years, and additional 20 credits will
be required to be done for the degree of Bachelor of Technology with Honours. These additional 20 credits
will have to be acquired with online courses (MOOCs) as per AICTE. So students will have to complete
additional 20 credits through MOOCs within 4 years of time. This creates an excellent opportunity for
students to acquire the necessary skill set for employability through massive online courses where the rare
expertise of world famous experts from academics and industry are available. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
University of Technology, West Bengal (MAKAUT,WB) has thus decided to introduce AICTE model
curriculum for its B.Tech Programmes and suggest baskets for MOOCs available year wise for the four-
year long B.Tech programme from the sessions 2018-2019. The basket for MOOCs will be a dynamic one,
as courses keep on updating with time.

The total of 20 credits that is required to be attained for B.Tech Honours degree is distributed over four
years in the following way:

For first year: 8 credits

For second year: 4 credits
For third year: 4 credits
For fourth year: 4 credits

A student of first year has to cover courses from at least three skills:

1. Computer Programing with Python / R

2. Soft skill
3. Ethics

If a student is unable to cover the credits assigned for the first year, he/she can do these courses in either of
the subsequent years, but he/she has to choose the courses from the basket of MOOCs announced by
MAKAUT,WB from time to time. The same rule will be applicable for the other years of the programme.

The updated basket for MOOCs for the 1st year B. Tech for the session 2018-2019 is made available
