On the introduction of the M.Tech. Software Systems programme and transfer from M.S. to M.Tech.

On the introduction of the M.Tech. Software Systems programme and transfer from M.S. to M.Tech.
The various work integrated learning programmes are being reviewed comprehensively and redesigned accordingly. Such a review of the MS programme in Software Systems, along with a study of similar programmes offered by leading Universities within and outside the country, and an examination of the profile and the motivation of the students enrolled, led us to the conclusion that there was adequate reason and academic rationale to offer an M.Tech. programme in Software Systems with the provision for specialization in several domains. Such a variation in the structure would cater to students with different  academic  backgrounds, professional interests and motivation.
Could a student enrolled in the M.S. Software Systems programme seek a transfer to the corresponding M.Tech. programme?
Yes, a student currently enrolled in an M.S. programme may seek a transfer to the M.Tech. programme in the same discipline. In such a situation, the courses completed till the point of reckoning will be given due credit as permissible, and the semester-wise chart for the remaining programme will be worked out accordingly. Such a student may be required to spend additional time to complete the requisite coursework and /or  Dissertation of the M.Tech. programme. However, a student who has completed the requirements for the award of the M.S. degree is not eligible to apply for such a transfer.
Could a student enrolled in the M.S. Software Systems programme and currently registered in Dissertation seek a transfer to the M.Tech. Software Systems programme?
Yes, as above. However, the programme structure and the set of core courses and electives which are part of the M.S. programme are different from those of the M.Tech. programme.  For students who seek a transfer from an M.S. programme to an M.Tech. programme in the same discipline, the courses completed till the point of reckoning will be given due credit, and the semesterwise chart for the remaining programme will be worked out accordingly. The students may take one or more additional semesters to complete the required coursework requirement of the M.Tech. programme. However, we are also exploring possible options for enabling students to complete  the additional coursework without spending an additional semester.
What is the procedure for seeking a transfer from M.S. to M.Tech. Software Systems programme?
Students who wish to seek a transfer from M.S. progamme to M.Tech. programme in the same discipline need to apply online through the WILP website, details of which will be provided by November 11, 2014.
