Yes, there is an eligibility criteria for upgrading from BTech to Dual Degree (DD) at IIT Madras (not IDDD).

For students from Electrical Engineering (EE), here are the general criteria:

  1. CGPA Requirement: You typically need a minimum CGPA of 8.0 at the end of your 5th or 6th semester (depending on the call for applications). This may vary slightly each year.
  2. Department Approval: The upgrade depends on the availability of slots in the DD program within your department and your performance relative to peers.
  3. Interest Area: You must indicate your preferred research area and may be required to discuss it with faculty or submit a brief proposal.
  4. No Backlogs: You should not have any arrears or disciplinary actions.
  5. Application Process: The Institute invites applications via email and department notice boards. The upgrade is not automatic, you need to apply formally.

Keep an eye on the Academic Section circulars or check with your Department for specific deadlines and forms.
