Students of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTU) and 170 more affiliated colleges are now free to explore non-technical courses as per their interests. The new facility has been introduced under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) that will also help the students earn six credits each by enrolling in any two non-technical courses. Due to the lack of information, the students are still facing a lot of trouble and are not able to take benefits from these courses.
The students who are pursuing B.Tech but are also interested in courses like arts, music dance, history, political science and languages can enroll themselves in any two non-technical courses that are available. The only condition that the students have to follow is that the university should be recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and other such higher education bodies.
The B.Tech course holds a total of 170 credits. The student would be evaluated for 164 credits for the main course while the remaining 6 credits will be added on the basis of the extra non-technical courses. This idea was introduced in the academic year 2017-18 with the CBCS system. Under the new initiative, the university also introduced 30 new online courses on the campus itself.

The students have the privilege to complete the course through online, regular or correspondence mode. If a student decides to opt for regular classes, then the students will have to plan the classes accordingly, so that the schedule of the main course is not affected. After enrolling in the extra courses, the student should also inform JNTU-H, so that at the time of evaluation, the authorities can add the six credits of the extra courses as well.
