Can I pursue two engineering streams at the same time and how? Is this recommended?

A double degree program or dual degrees is a provision for a student to work in two different universities at the same time so that the student can complete the two degrees in less time as they would have taken if he had studied for different institutes individually.
This might not be confused with the other provision of dual-degree where the student studies the two courses as an amalgam, like mechatronics, that is mechanical engineering with Electrical engineering, where the course duration is less than the individual degree completed in more time.
So you can see, there are two provisions, one is taking the courses in two different uni...more -
I assume that you are trying to graduate in two branches at the same time which is not possible at all.
The most you can do is, you can go for a dual degree course which is offered by some of the colleges in India like BITS-Pilani, Thapar University and various other colleges where you can reduce some amount of your course time, but you need to pass all the semesters to gain a degree.
For example, if some student had to undergo dual degree course in B.Tech plus M.Tech then it will take him exactly 5 years to complete the degrees and to be equivalent to a separate B.Tech and M.Tech degree holder.
Although, some companies consider dual d...more -
A dual degree programme or a double degree programme allows a student to work on both b tech engineering courses at the same time, allowing him to complete the two degrees in less time than if he had studied for different institutes separately. This should not be confused with the other type of dual-degree programme, in which the student studies the two courses as a single unit, such as mechatronics, which combines mechanical and electrical engineering, and where the course duration is shorter than the individual degree and can be completed in less time.

There are two provisions, one is taking the courses in two different universities that have an understanding, that might be even in different countries. Some of the plans are France - Canada plan, etc. For undergraduates. The other one is a dual degree, where you study the mixture of two branches in the same institute. In the former one you are awarded two degrees and in later you are only awarded one degree. This may vary for every institution with the type of understanding that they have with each other. -
You can pursue two streams of engineering if college offers dual degree program. Only few universities in India have dual degree program. BITS Pilani has most matured system of dual degree program.
One of the most popular flexibilities provided in the BITS, Pilani's educational structure is the Dual Degree Scheme. Under this scheme, it is possible for a student to work for and complete two Degrees within a reasonable period of time. All the admitted students are given an opportunity to take up a Dual Degree based on their performance in the first year of the programme.
For example: A student who has been allotted chemical engineering or...more -
No, it is not possible to pursue two Engineering streams at the same time.
First, it was possible and legal to do or pursue to Engineering streams at the same time from years 2013 but according to the new clarification made in the UGC acts is given below:
In January 2016, UGC ordered and said "does not endorse the idea of allowing students to pursue two degrees simultaneously." It directed universities to conduct program according to the first degree and Master’s Degree regulations 2003 and also follow norms prescribed by statuary council wherever applicable.
While UGCs instructions are not very clear, if you have already completed...more -
You must have heard about Anudeep Nekkanti. He is one of the best coders from India and represents India at the world finals in ICPC. You might have never heard the name of his college Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology. And he is placed at Google Zurich.
My whole point of giving this example is that it doesn't really make much of a difference from which college you pass out. It makes a difference about how good you are at what you do. To get placed in companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc., you need extraordinary programming skills. And that will only come from practice. Practice on competitive programming sites like Cod...more -

7 years agoHello students,
It's a very interesting topic, to say the least. Two engineering degrees at the same time! Phew!
These days, admissions to engineering are quite tightly controlled by AICTE as well different universities. Once you get admission, you will have to submit originals to the college which have the tendency not to return these till you pass out. In this situation how one takes admission in a second-degree course?
May be earlier way out was engineering courses offered by Open Universities or which is popularly known as distance education. But recently, UGC has put a bar on these universities offering courses which require practica...more -
According to Indian education act-1959 you cannot pursue two degrees simultaneously, because it causes extra burden on students (according to law makers).
But after the recommendation of few universities UGC has now granted the permission for students to get enrolled in two degrees (in same or different universities).
But this law has been changed since 2013 permitting its full-n-functional use from 20142015 academic years. So, interested students can enroll in two degrees simultaneously whether from the same university or the different. Though there can still be a few hidden points where courses to be chosen might have a rule for formin...more
