Curriculum & Syllabus.

Four pillars

Every BIET undergraduate programme is organised around four pillars. The pillars determine sequencing and weight; the actual course list is decided by each branch's Board of Studies.

1. IFoundational rigorThe first year is shared across branches and is unapologetically classical: mathematics, physics, chemistry, programming, engineering drawing, workshop. We do not 'apply' before students have built the foundation to apply from.
2. IIBranch depthYears two and three are branch-immersive. Each programme has its own core sequence — five to six courses per semester that build cumulatively. Electives appear from the fifth semester, not before.
3. IIIIndustry alignmentThe curriculum is reviewed annually with industry partners on each branch's Board of Studies. Course content that has gone stale is removed; emerging topics are introduced as electives first, core only after they survive two cycles of student feedback.
4. IVCapstone autonomyThe final year is structured around a year-long capstone — typically with a real industry partner or research centre. Students spend more time on the capstone than on any single course.

Course coding

Course codes follow a three-letter-three-digit scheme. The letters indicate the offering branch (or HU/OE for general categories); the digits encode year and ordering within the year.

Curriculum review process

1. Step 1Annual Board of Studies meeting per branch — held in May
2. Step 2External industry reviewer attends each Board (rotates yearly)
3. Step 3Proposed changes circulated to faculty for 30-day comment period
4. Step 4Academic Council approval — June
5. Step 5Revised curriculum effective from Aug term in the same calendar year
