Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) has
directed engineering
colleges and other
affiliated institutes to
develop industry-led course
modules to increase the
employability of students.
The technical education regulator has asked the institutions to interact with leading industries and related associations for the development and promotion of industry-oriented course modules.
"AICTE has entered into MoUs with leading industries and industry associations to develop and promote industry-oriented and skill based course modules and also facilitate internships of students in industry. Industries are now coming forward to support in providing core technical skills, digital skills, and vocational skills in universities and technical institutes," the council said in a letter to college principals and heads of institutes.
"You are, therefore, requested to interact with leading industries and industry associations for the development and promotion of industry-oriented course modules, and credits may be given to students for completing such course modules. It will help in making students industry-ready and more employable. All universities may discuss the need for industry interaction and allotment of credits based on learning outcomes of students," it added.
