What is criteria for taking minor at IIT Kharagpur?

Applying for a minor is possible only at the beginning of the 3rd year autumn semester provided that your CGPA is 7.5+. But I suggest you start taking courses related to your minor from the 2nd year autumn semester itself.

• Make sure your CGPA is 8+ by the end of each semester, else your minor will be canceled.
• On the basis of the requirements given in the minor curriculum list, make a good choice of courses.
• You can change your departmental elective by approaching your faculty advisor for the same. He/she will login to his/her ERP and add the desired subject to your list. 
• One needs to take at least additional 3 or 4 courses to earn a minor in another department.
• You are required to maintain your ACGPA (additional CGPA) as well as CGPA (additional SGPA) 6+ once you have registered for minors.

Plan your semesters in such a way that you have available slots for that specific subject.
