Entrepreneurship Development & Venture Creation
listed in the course structure as an alternative to Open Elective-I, but the source syllabus PDF does not contain a unit-wise syllabus for this course anywhere in its 186 pages, so no unit breakdown can be given honestly here.
Power Electronics Lab
hands-on experiments that verify the device characteristics and converter behaviour covered in the Power Electronics course, from firing circuits to inverter control.
- Characteristics of SCR, Power MOSFET and IGBT, and firing circuit design (R, RC, UJT)

Evaluation of Community Service Internship
the course structure lists this as a 2-credit internship evaluation component with no lecture hours; the source PDF does not provide a unit-wise syllabus for it since it is assessed on the student’s actual internship placement rather than classroom content.
