Soon, pursue dual engineering degree at NIT Durgapur

The student has to secure at least an 8.5 CGPA till the third semester in order to become eligible for the minor degree.

If you secure an admission at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgapur for an engineering stream, there are chances that you will be able to take up another engineering stream of your interest and pursue an additional minor degree and your graduation certificate will mention both degrees. However, you have to secure at least an 8.5 CGPA till the third semester in order to be eligible to get permission for the minor degree. Usually, 25 per cent students have scores of 8.5 CGPA.

As per a report published in The Times of India, a total of 14 streams have been selected from which students can apply for their minor degrees. “A student might take admission in a stream, which is often decided by his rank, but he might nurture an interest in a different stream that he could not get. This new approach will not only help the student study that stream but he will also get a minor degree,” said NIT Durgapur director Anupam Basu while announcing the new initiative. 

Established in 1960, NIT Durgapur is an institute of national importance and one of the first eight regional colleges set up to impart quality education in the field of Engineering.
