The course syllabus for a BTech degree in Environmental Engineering is a mixture of core subjects and elective subjects. The basic difference between the two is that the core subjects are compulsory for you to study in every semester. These core subjects teach the basic fundamentals and concepts important to becoming an environmental engineer.
Coming to the elective subjects, these subject choices do give you some scope for customization, as you can pick subjects of your choice, the ones that you resonate more with, and they are interesting and easy for you to get the hang of. You usually start getting these elective choices from 2nd year onwards.
