BE Syllabus 2026
The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) syllabus covers a structured programme spanning 4 Years designed to build both foundational knowledge and specialised expertise. The curriculum varies by specialisation, with 28 specialisations available including Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & ML. Below is the detailed semester-wise subject breakdown and programme structure.
BE Semester-wise Subjects
BE Core Subjects
The BE curriculum follows AICTE guidelines and is virtually identical to B.Tech. Core subjects are common across all branches in the first year, with specialisation from the second year. Exact subjects depend on the branch chosen.
