The PG and Ph.D. regulations outline the detailed admission requirements. Faculty members working in Government, Government-Aided, and Private institutions may pursue the PG programmes in Fractal Mode. This approach facilitates faculty members to earn credits for the training programme and eventually redeem those credits towards the degree programme. It is in accordance with NEP 2020, Multiple Entry and Multiple Exit acquire degree at the level of 6.5 and 7 as per NCrF.

Fractal Academics

Fractal geometry showcases patterns at various scales, and this multi-scale approach is similarly applied in fractal academics at NITTTR Chennai. The institution offers professional development programs at different levels (Silver, Gold, and Platinum). The Silver-level courses provide an overview of the subject (1 to 1.5 credits), while the higher-level courses at Gold or Platinum levels (2 to 4 credits) provide functional expertise in the subject.

Both the introductory and advanced courses cover similar topics, but with varying degrees of detail, hence the name "fractal academics." A typical 3-credit course consists of 42 lecture hours, and NITTTR Chennai proposed to offer programmes at micro-credit levels such as 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 credits, corresponding to 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 56 contact hours, respectively. The fractal mode of PG programmes will be offered in trimesters i.e. in three phases.

Trimester-1 August to December
Trimester-2 January to April
Trimester-3 May to July

This innovative approach provides flexibility, enabling learners to tailor their education to their needs and interests while ensuring comprehensive learning opportunities. The upskilling programme eventually leads to earning a degree.

Advantages of Fractal Academics:

Promoting Interdisciplinary Education: Encourage cross-disciplinary learning, allowing learners to broaden their knowledge across various fields.
Facilitating Faculty Upskilling: Enable faculty members to stay current with the latest developments and thrust areas.
Broadening Access: Open to all learners, providing greater breadth and flexibility in course selection.
Credit Accumulation: Learners can accumulate credits from a wide array of courses, tailoring their coursework across departments.
Offering Techno-Pedagogy Courses: Includes courses like Engineering Education, Pedagogy, Accreditation, Media, and Health and Well-being.
Enhancing Research Preparedness: Increased exposure to various courses enhances research readiness.
Fostering Synergy in Projects: Creates a strong foundation for product development and collaborative projects.

A teacher enhances their skills by balancing technical and teaching competencies, better serving the educational ecosystem. The system is designed to evolve continuously, keeping pace with changing times and the evolving aspirations of learners.
