Gujarat Technological University (GTU) will introduce a new,
revised syllabus for diploma engineering colleges, which will be designed according
to current needs of the industry. The syllabus will be introduced in August this
year.
GTU officials said that “a core team of five senior faculty members and 250-odd
personnel of technical colleges will be pressed into service to carry out an exhaustive
survey of the engineering industry. Detailed survey forms have been designed which
will be filled by industry representatives. The survey data will be analyzed and
conclusions drawn about the kind of changes to be made”.
For the first time, such a mammoth exercise is being undertaken to know
the industry opinion and design a syllabus so that students are prepared to meet
needs of the industry. Effort is being made to ensure that gap between books and
practical needs of job, is narrowed down as far as possible, a GTU official said.
The new syllabus will benefit 40,000 odd diploma engineering students in 90 colleges
all over the state.
