The only requirement is that they must have passed all first year courses. There were some applications which were denied because they had not passed all courses. But they will have a chance to apply for branch change again next semester and the semester after that.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18871255904835402.post-32180411982763973302017-08-03T11:22:50.113+05:302017-08-03T11:22:50.113+05:30Very useful information indeed.

At what CPI the branch change happened to the branches like Physics, BSBE, Chem & Earth Sciences.<br /><br />Looks like branch change preferences are being driven more by interest induced by placement statistics than that of the real interest in branch. Else we would have seen a few kids of Comp Science/Electrical changing to science streams like maths, bio, chem and physics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532736666752334184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18871255904835402.post-45389585610104008502017-08-02T13:38:03.663+05:302017-08-02T13:38:03.663+05:30"perhaps Economics is the only department on ..."perhaps Economics is the only department on campus, which actually tries to answer all questions by students, tries to give a lot of information through social media, etc"<br />The sole reason people change their branch to economics is probably because they see ECO seniors in least stress among all seniors they get to see in first year. They did not even know if Economics was offered at IITK, no media outlet has written a single article on ECO at IITK,IITkgp but there are some about IITB. Also, I was frustrated when the DUGC approved my leave application after 3 months of submission, he approved it in next semester. I failed a course(PE101) because of that.

Many top US universities are already offering data science degrees, though they are mostly at the master's level. liszt85https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915836799539783815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18871255904835402.post-24197485243765989512017-08-02T01:50:29.232+05:302017-08-02T01:50:29.232+05:30Sir, what I have observed in the past four years o...Sir, what I have observed in the past four years of my stay, Economics is more popular because many realise that getting a job through Economics is easier and more lucrative than engineering branches like Mechanical. This is true to quite an extent because these days the most in demand skill is data analytics and all those branches that have courses related to Statistical Sciences are hugely popular. Hence branches like Maths, CSE, Economics and Electrical Engineering are more sought after than other core engineering programs. If IITK succeeds in starting a Data Analytics under-graduate program, then it would push down the opening rank of EE here at IITK. I expect it to open somewhere between 300 and 400 straight off in the first batch. Core Engineering is a doomed space it seems.hulk46https://www.blogger.com/profile/10709636694570456719noreply@blogger.com
