Makaut Syllabus 2026, for All UG/PG Courses 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th Sem

MAKAUT Syllabus 2026: Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), West Bengal (formerly WBUT), is the primary affiliating technical university for a large number of engineering, technology, management, computer applications, pharmacy, and applied science colleges across the state. It offers undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programmes following a semester system. Most 4-year UG programmes (B.Tech, B.Sc, BBA, BCA, etc.) span 8 semesters, while many 2-year PG programmes (M.Tech, MBA, MCA, M.Sc, M.Pharm) span 4 semesters.

The curriculum is regularly updated to align with AICTE model curricula (for technical programmes), UGC guidelines, National Education Policy (NEP) elements such as multiple entry-exit options for non-AICTE courses, and industry needs in areas like AI, data science, cybersecurity, IoT, and sustainability. Syllabi for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic sessions (often referred to as MAKAUT Syllabus 2026) are available primarily through the official portals.

MAKAUT Syllabus 2026 PDF Download

• Primary portals: makautwb.ac.in (Syllabus & Curriculum section) and makautexam.net (AICTE details, new syllabus modules, course structures, and detailed PDFs).
• Look for “New Revised Syllabus,” “Revised Syllabus,” or course-specific links under UG/PG sections. Many PDFs are labeled by academic session (e.g., effective from 2025-26 or 2026-27).
• Affiliated colleges and third-party educational sites often mirror official PDFs, but always cross-verify with the university sites for the latest versions.
• Feedback on curriculum can be sent to designated university emails (e.g., related to Board of Studies).

Syllabi typically include course codes, credit distribution (lecture/tutorial/practical), detailed unit-wise topics, recommended books, course outcomes, and evaluation schemes.

MAKAUT UG Courses (Semester 1 to 8)

Note:

• First year syllabus is common across many streams (especially B.Tech)
• Subjects vary depending on stream (Engineering, Commerce, Arts, Pharmacy, etc.)

MAKAUT PG Courses (Semester 1 to 4)

PG Courses Include:

• M.Tech, MBA, MCA, M.Sc, M.Com etc.
• Each program has specialization-based electives (AI, Finance, HR, Data Science, etc.)

Key Features of the 2026 Curriculum Framework

• Credit system: Follows AICTE/UGC credit frameworks. First-year B.Tech is often common across many branches (Physics/Chemistry, Mathematics, Basic Electrical/Electronics, Programming, Workshop, etc.).
• Continuous Assessment (CA) updates (2026-27 academic calendar): Significant changes include revised patterns for CA1 and CA2 (removal of PPT/assignment components in some cases), removal of CA3, introduction of Enhanced Continuous Assessment (ECA) and Written Continuous Assessment (WCA), mandatory 75% attendance, and practical evaluation based on average of PCA marks. Odd-semester exams for 2026 are scheduled around early December.
• NEP alignment (non-AICTE courses): Multiple entry-exit options for programmes like BBA, BCA, and certain B.Sc degrees (e.g., exit after 3 years with an undergraduate degree). Not applicable to all programmes (exceptions noted for specific behavioural science or physiotherapy courses).
• Electives and specializations: Later semesters emphasize professional electives, open electives, MOOCs, projects, internships, and emerging technologies.
• Evaluation: Theory papers, labs, continuous assessment, end-semester exams. Passing criteria generally require minimum marks in both internal and external components (exact thresholds follow university regulations).

Undergraduate Courses Overview (Typical 8-Semester Structure)

B.Tech (4 years / 8 semesters) – Branches include CSE, IT, ECE, EE, ME, CE, and specialized programmes (e.g., AI & DS, VLSI, Agricultural Engineering).

• Semesters 1–2 (common/first year): Basic Sciences (Physics/Chemistry, Mathematics I/II), Engineering Sciences (Basic Electrical, Programming for Problem Solving, Engineering Graphics/Workshop), Humanities, Environmental Science, and labs. Credit load typically ~17.5–20.5 per semester.
• Semesters 3–4: Core professional courses (e.g., for CSE/IT: Data Structures & Algorithms, Computer Organization/Architecture, Discrete Mathematics, Digital Electronics, Formal Languages & Automata, Design & Analysis of Algorithms).
• Semesters 5–6: Advanced cores (Operating Systems, Database Management Systems, Computer Networks, Compiler Design, Software Engineering, Object-Oriented Programming) + electives and labs.
• Semesters 7–8: Professional/open electives (Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, IoT, etc.), project work, internship/seminar, and remaining theory/labs. Total credits usually align with AICTE norms (~160+).

Sample subjects appear across official PDFs for CSE/IT (effective 2025-26) and other branches. Specialized B.Tech programmes (e.g., Electrical & Computer Engineering, Agricultural Engineering effective 2026-27) follow similar progressive structures with domain-specific courses.

BCA / BBA (often 4 years / 8 semesters under newer frameworks):

• Focus on programming (C, Java, Python), data structures, DBMS, networks, web technologies, software engineering (BCA); management principles, accounting, marketing, HR, finance, entrepreneurship, business analytics (BBA).
• Includes ability enhancement courses (communication, Indian Knowledge Systems), skill enhancement, value-added courses (environment, constitution, yoga), and electives. Later semesters feature projects, internships, and specialization electives. Effective structures from 2025-26 are available.

B.Sc programmes (e.g., IT with specializations in AI, Data Science, Cyber Security; Biotechnology; others): Progressive structure covering foundational sciences/computing in early semesters, specialization cores and electives later, plus projects. Many follow Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) guidelines.

Other UG: B.Pharm, B.Arch, B.Optometry, B.Voc, etc., have dedicated multi-semester syllabi available on official sites.

Postgraduate Courses Overview (Typically 4 Semesters)

M.Tech (2 years): Specializations in CSE, IT, VLSI, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, AI & Data Science, IoT, Power Systems, and more.

• Semester 1–2: Core advanced subjects + electives + labs/research methodology.

Important Notes for 2026

• Syllabi can differ slightly by admission batch and affiliated college implementation. Always confirm the version applicable to your enrolment year.
• First-year common syllabi reduce branch variation early on.
• Practicals, projects, and continuous assessment carry significant weight.
• Emerging topics (AI/ML, cybersecurity, sustainability, entrepreneurship) are increasingly integrated.
• Academic calendar, attendance (75% mandatory), and examination patterns for 2026-27 include the CA revisions noted above.
• Fees and admission processes (WBJEE for B.Tech/B.Pharm, CET for many B.Sc/BBA/BCA, GATE/JEMAT/JECA for PG, etc.) are separate from syllabus details but listed on official sites.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, download the official PDFs from makautwb.ac.in or makautexam.net and consult your college’s academic department or the university’s Board of Studies notifications. Syllabus documents are periodically revised, so students admitted in 2026 should specifically check documents marked for the 2025-26 or 2026-27 sessions. This structured, outcome-based curriculum aims to equip graduates with both foundational knowledge and industry-relevant skills across engineering, technology, management, and applied sciences.
