1. The Master of Engineering (M.E.)degree is generally a professional degree offered as a course work-based alternative to the traditional research-based Master of Science(M.S.) degree.
In KINGS, M.E. students should take coursework in the first year and project base specialization programs in the 2nd year. Finally they should submit an individual project report to get a Master of Engineering degree. -
2. The Doctor of Technology (D.Tech.) degree is conferred upon candidates after having completed a course of study in technology, and a project of lengthy duration in a technologically related field.
The degree focuses on developing practical solutions in the workplace, critical analysis, synthesis, and innovation.
