B.Tech in Computation & Media

Our academic structure is designed to establish robust foundations, followed by increasing specialization in later years.

• Credit structure: Basic Sciences, Computing & Engineering, Humanities, Social & Creative Sciences, Media Studies, Design & Enterprise Sciences
• Total credits & degree requirement: The programme requires not less than 165 credits to be awarded a B.Tech degree.
• Duration: 4 years / 8 semesters
• Core vs Professional phases: The first two years constitute the “Core Program,” and the last two years the “Professional Program,” with electives introduced in the latter phase.

Assessment is designed to evaluate students’ progressive understanding throughout the programme. Continuous assessment plays a central role and contributes significantly to the final grade. Evaluation is based on specific, tangible outputs such as projects, presentations and assignments. Active participation is an important component, and students are expected to attend all classes. While examinations are conducted, they carry a relatively smaller weight in the overall evaluation.

Plagiarism is strictly prohibited and will result in a zero grade. Repeated instances may lead to academic suspension or other disciplinary action.

Typical grading distribution

• Research / role-play / debate / presentations – 20%
• Class quizzes / in-class tests / take-home assignments – 25%
• Midterm examination – 15%
• Semester-end examination or final project – 30%
• Class participation – 10%

The pedagogical model places strong emphasis on regular participation and continuous evaluation. Limited absences may be permitted at the discretion of the faculty member; however, repeated absences may affect a student’s ability to complete course requirements successfully. Due to the nature of continuous assessment, missed submissions or activities may not always be recoverable, though individual instructors may review exceptional cases.

• Leverage emerging technologies to enable an interactive, personalised and diverse communication ecosystem.
• Develop students into specialised, technology-driven storytellers with strong foundations in media and communication.
• Adopt continuous assessment while reinforcing in-class evaluation methods.
• Encourage learning through multiple formats, including classroom instruction, mentoring and simulated practice, culminating in student-led projects.
• Prepare students to operate in an evolving media environment shaped by changing technologies, policies and professional practices.
• Emphasise both conceptual understanding and practical application in advanced semesters, supported by engagement with academic research and industry experts.
• Enable students to undertake a specialised capstone project by the end of the programme.
• Provide structured exposure to social and industry environments through guided experiential learning under faculty supervision.
• Offer three internships during the programme: a social sector internship or initiative, two mandatory industry internships, and one optional internship.

Students gain exposure to social and industry practices through structured learning experiences under faculty supervision. The programme includes multiple internship opportunities: a social sector internship or initiative, at least one mandatory industry internship, and one optional internship. These experiences help bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world practice.

Graduates typically pursue careers in fields such as news media, film, television, game design, advertising, public relations and related industries. The programme also introduces elements of entrepreneurship as part of the advanced curriculum.
