AICTE decides to stop B. SC and M.SC courses in engineering colleges
Posted on: 22/May/2013 6:20:58 PM
In an effort to stop engineering colleges to offer unauthorized courses, the AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education) has written to colleges to stop their 3 year and 5 year Science courses. Many engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu offer courses such as BSc Apparel & Fashion Technology, BSc Applied Sciences, BSc Computer Technology, BSc Information Technology and MSc Applied Mathematics, MSc Computer Technology and MSc Material Science courses, and are hoping that the Council will withdraw the order.
‘These courses cannot be treated as unrelated to technical campuses. These courses have a unique combination of mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering and nearly 25 percent of the content is from engineering subjects. Some of these courses were started way back in 1970s and 80s and even before the AICTE came into existence… These courses were aligned with the industrial needs and hence had good scope for placements. Leading technical institutions like IITs and NITs are offering such courses. Autonomous engineering colleges should be given freedom to offer such courses keeping in view the needs of the students, institutions and industry’, said a few professors.
