NIT ROURKELA ADOPTS NEP, FOCUSES ON AI AND EMPLOYABILITY
BW Businessworld
|July 27, 2024
In an exclusive conversation with BW Businessworld, K. UMAMAHESHWAR RAO, Director at NIT Rourkela highlights the current scenario of engineering and contributions by the institute to the industry.
ENGINEERING curricula are evolving to meet the demands of modern education and quality. Previously, the curriculum focused on subjects chosen by teachers, leaving students with limited options. The implementation of NEP will enable a learner-centric system, where students will have the freedom to choose subjects that align with their interests. Institutions like NIT Rourkela have already revamped their programmes to align with the NEP and the National Credit Framework policy.
Updating the Curriculum
The new education policy has recognised the importance of holistic development and fostering a well-rounded education. It has encouraged the integration of co-curricular activities and vocational training, nurturing students’ physical, emotional and intellectual growth. Additionally, it introduces project-oriented courses that are skill-based and industry-related, providing students with practical experience and preparing them for the workforce.

SO HERE WE ARE AGAIN - bang in the midst of India's festive season - where brands collectively lose their minds and their marketing budgets in a glorious, glittering spectacle of one-upmanship. Gone are the days when slapping on a celebrity's face on a discount banner qualified as strategy. This year’s campaigns indeed show that consumers have evolved, and so have their choices.
