Pro-tips: If possible, try to attend the lab course which elec students have along side this course. There is a lot of programming involved and there is a limit to what one can understand on just paper.

Personal Comments: With so many assessments you get various options to cover up if you fall behind, but the projects and assignments mount up to a lot of work, even more so if you're not an elec student. You might need to stay in insti after the endsems to finish up on the projects. Having said that, Prof Virendra is really helpful and approachable, always willing to patiently clear all your doubts in his office.
