Anna University carried out major reforms in engineering education including introducing a flexible curriculum and six-month industrial internship for all students to improve work skills.
In an interview with Raman doubts, Deputy Chancellor R Velaj said industry experts had been defeated to frame the syllabus.
Excerptsniti Aayog said 48% of unemployed engineering graduates.
Tamil Nadu produces the highest number.
How can we improve work skills? Anna University changed its curriculum to meet industrial needs.
We focus on three domains to train students – those who aspire to join the industry, others who want to excel in teaching and research, and those who want to become entrepreneurs.
We will introduce a flexible curriculum and introduce an internship for all students.
What do you mean by a flexible curriculum? From the third year, students will learn six or seven courses relevant to their interest in their interests, instead of up to 15 subjects of derivatives.
The syllabus for third year students is being prepared by experts based on industrial needs.
For those who are interested in research and teaching, there will be, Btech with awards.
A student with a sign of 75% or 80% until the fourth semester will be allowed to study additional courses from me, MTech for the past two years.
A student can get award by clearing six additional courses or 18 additional credits.
To prepare students for industrial automation, Anna University will offer, BTECH with a small degree.
Students from mechanical engineering can obtain a small degree in artificial intelligence or machine learning.
For students who are interested in administrative or entrepreneurship services, there will be a course in the economic field, public policy from the third year.
This flexible curriculum will take effect when the first year students currently move to the third year.
We also plan to change the rules to make some changes that apply to second year students at this time.
Will not be intended for an online exam that has a bad impact? Industry knows how to identify talents and rent.
Semester exam score is only used for a list of students for campus interviews.
The company has their own recruitment process and students who clean the work.
Industry does not require students with high rating for every job.
How will you distinguish students who are smart from the remaining unattended tests? In unattended tests from February 1, the question paper will have a variety of difficulty levels to distinguish top players from others.
About 60% of questions will test knowledge, 20% will assess understanding, and 20% will be oriented to the application.
This will help identify smart students.
Application-oriented questions cannot be answered from the textbook.
