A multi-track specialization system is a student centric approach introduced by DYPIU in 2019 (first for its B.Tech. Computer Science Engineering course). It allows students to choose a specialization of their interest at the end of the 4th semester. So, the students do not need to make the decision at the time of admission. This system makes sure that they exercise this option after getting a better understanding of various subjects. In each track, students get to learn 8 subjects to get in-depth knowledge of their chosen specialization.

B.Tech. Bioengineering at DYPIU is a four-year full-time course with multi-track specialization options in three emerging technologies. The track options are:

  • Food and BioChemical Engineering
  • BioMedical Engineering
  • Bioinformatics

No, it is not the same. In the multi-track specialization system, all the track electives are specific to the track. For example, a student who chooses the BioMedical Engineering track can choose the electives offered only for that track. This system helps the students to specialize in a particular discipline and prevent non-specific choices.

What would be the degree name that I would receive at the end of the course? Will the degree name specify the track name as well? All the students graduating from B.Tech. Bioengineering will get the same degree. Their track names will be specified in their degree as well. For example, if a student specializes in Biomedical Engineering, s/he will get the following degree: Bachelor of Technology in Bioengineering (specialisation in Biomedical Engineering)

There are three prime focus areas of internships:

  • Society/Small Industry/Rural sector based projects: These is projects will cater the real life problems and will expose the students to ground level issues of the world
  • Industrial projects: This project will be done to solve a industry scale problem where students will focus on finding a different solution for a pre-solved problem.
  • Research Projects: These is projects will allow students to work on a topic which is still being explored and does not have a defined solution to it.

During the semester breaks, students can perform internships in or outside of the University. However, during the semesters, students are advised to do the internships in the University to ease their attendance in the class and labworks.

Students must choose their tracks by the end of the 4th semester. The track courses begin from 6th semester onwards.

No, one cannot select more than one specialization. The choice of specialization has to be made based on interests of the student developed during the first four semesters of course. In case, any student finds it difficult to choose a track, s/he can consult with his/her faculty mentors.

In case of a conflict, the track will be decided based on the CGPA of the student in the first four semesters of the course.

Under special circumstances, one can change the track before the end of the second week of the sixth semester provided the chosen new track has not reached its maximum strength. However, the University reserves its right to make the final decision for such cases.

The total intake for B.Tech Bioengineering course is 120.

A track of specialization would be offered only if a minimum number of students opt for it.
