Q) Being updated with the latest skill sets as per industry requirements is essential for employability after completion of technical education. How far is the technical education sector in India up to this challenge?

A) The whole gamut of technical education in India is undergoing massive transformation in terms of curriculum. Last year, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has revised its course curriculum and accordingly many universities including MAKAUT have revised their curriculum.

There are two aspects related to this revision. One is integration of information science and cutting edge technology with the engineering courses. The second aspect is embracing of digital pedagogy through online courses. Efforts are on to relate these online courses to our existing course curriculum. Online courses are making top class lectures and materials easily available for all students.
