dual degree programme

Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) is planning a dual degree programme from the academic year 2007-08.Under this programme, students joining any engineering stream—civil, mechanical, chemical or electrical and electronics—can opt to study for one more year after their mandatory four year B.Tech programme and by the end of the five years get dual degrees, one in their core engineering subject and one in computer engineering.So a mechanical engineering student opting for this programme will pass out with B.Tech mechanical and computers degrees after five years. This programme will initially be offered only in constituent colleges of the JNTU that is in campuses of Hyderabad, Anantapur, Kakinada and Pulivendula.
