Integrated degree (M.Tech), is a 5year combined Bachelor's and Master's Program instead of 4+ 2 years.(no B.Tech degree) Offered at the first tier.
The considered integrated degrees are- B.E. (Hons.), B.Pharm. (Hons.), M.M.S (Master of Management Studies), M.Sc. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Tech.), and M.A. (Hons.). They are considered to be integrated degrees for two reasons: (i) the degree program includes several cross disciplinary common coursessuch as basic math and science and, (ii) no intermediate degree, like, B.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons.), B.A., B.A. (Hons), etc. is awarded.
These degrees are modular in structure and academic requirements are spelt out in terms of the number of courses studied rather than the number of years. All these programmes are designed in a way to facilitate completion within eight semesters. Flexible academic policy gives students the option to complete their degree both at a faster pace (finishing it earlier than 8 semesters) as well as at a slower pace to finish it in later than 8 semesters. Practical experience - not only in the lecture hall. The combination of practical and academic degree gives the chance to build the bridge between theory and application at an early stage. The integrated degree program is a first-class training program and offers you an excellent launching pad for your professional career.
In a three-month cycle the practical phases and the study phases alternate. After three years you conclude the program and receive your Bachelor's degree. After that you can continue your degree with your Master's degree.
The integrated programmes have a curriculum that comprises of content jointly designed by two or more higher education disciplines regulated by a specific set of guidelines. These programs are innovative in nature with new curriculum and better insight on subjects. Now, integrated courses are being offered in almost all the disciplines from humanities to engineering, ranging from multi-disciplinary to super-specialisation and duration of course starting form four and going up to seven years which starts from senior secondary level and goes up to PhD level.
There are several reasons responsible for the need and growth of integrated programmes and the most important one being the conventional courses becoming obsolete. The existing system has flaws like in the conventional system students are passive learners, no exposure to critical thinking, no active learning and difficulty in applying their knowledge to society. The industry has also been complaining that the graduates coming out of the existing education system are non- employable, thus the integrated programmes is an answer to that as they are designed in order to prepare industry ready individuals. It has also been designed to meet the aspirations of young students to become professionals.
