AICTE releases new
model curriculum
The
All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) on Wednesday formally
released its new model curriculum for engineering and technical courses,
reducing the credits to be earned for an undergraduate degree from 220 to 160.
The time
freed would be utilised for practical and creative activities, including
hackathons, an official said.
The top
technical education regulator also decided to make internships mandatory for
the award of degrees. While there were internships earlier too, an official
said, there were no concrete guidelines.
Since all
institutions did not have mandatory internships, technical graduates were
sometimes found unemployable by the industry.
This was set
to change with the new guidelines, it is felt. The internship would have a
minimum of 14 credits. Each credit means 40-45 hours of work.
