Additional Requirements/Constraints - B.Tech Curriculum : Minimum total number of Credits: 432 Students should complete a total of 156 credits of electives out of which a minimum of 84 Credits must be completed through CSE Dept. Electives. Semesters marked with '*': students should take appropriate number of electives after consulting faculty advisor. The students are free to take the elective courses in different semesters, so that the total number of credit hours per semester does not normally exceed 60. B Tech final-year project is optional and may be carried out in the CSE Dept. or in any other Department at IIT Madras. If the project is completed in the CSE Dept, it will be considered as equivalent to 24 Department elective credits. If the project is completed outside the CSE Dept, it will be considered as equivalent to 27 Free Elective credits. CS1200 is equivalent to MA2060: Discrete Mathematics. CSE students are not allowed to credit MA2060 course as a free elective.	Additional Requirements/Constraints - B.Tech (Hons) Curriculum: Minimum total number of Credits: 468 Students should complete a total of 192 credits of electives out of which a minimum of 120 Credits must be CSE Dept. Electives. Semesters marked with '*': students should take appropriate number of electives in consultation with faculty advisor. The students are free to take the elective courses in the different semesters, as long as the total credit requirement in electives category is met. Honors students may exceed the 60-credit limit per semester, after discussing with the faculty advisor. B. Tech final-year Project is mandatory and must be completed in the CSE Department. B. Tech (Honors) students should maintain a CGPA of 8.5 in each semester until graduation. CS1200 is equivalent to MA2060: Discrete Mathematics. CSE students are not allowed to credit MA2060 course as a free elective.
