It was decided to appoint a Committee to make recommendations on a number of important items, based on the prevalent systems in the other state level Technological Universities (e.g. JNTU; VTU; Anna Univ.; Maharashtra Tech. Univ. and WB Tech. Univ.) & AICTE recommendations (wherever available).
The broad Terms of Reference would be to examine the following and any other related matter
* Promotional Rules of BPUT
* The syllabus of some subjects of BPUT alleged to be “too tough” .
