What is the KTU 2024 scheme?
The 2024 scheme is a revised credit-based curriculum effective from the 2024 admission year. It reorganises courses into clearer baskets, adds flexible honours and minor pathways, and adjusts how internal and external marks are weighted. The goal is a more flexible, outcome-based degree.
Key changes at a glance
- Credit structure: ~160 total credits across 8 semesters.
- Honours & minors: eligible students can earn an honours degree or a minor in another discipline by taking extra credits.
- Continuous assessment: more weight on internal evaluation and lab/project work.
- Course baskets: clearer grouping into basic sciences, engineering sciences, program core, electives, and humanities.
What this means for your exam prep
Because internal assessment carries more weight, consistency matters more than last-minute cramming. Use module-wise notes to stay on top of each unit, and track your syllabus so nothing slips before internals.
How to plan your semester
