Engineering colleges must prioritise core subjects, says RGUKT Chancellor

The Hindu  

Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge and Technologies Chancellor and former chairman of Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education K.C. Reddy on Thursday advised engineering colleges to prioritise core subjects like electrical, mechanical, civil and chemical engineering instead of focusing only on branches like computer science and information technology. Speaking to The Hindu on Thursday, Prof. Reddy said that many colleges were forced to enhance seats for CSE courses with increased pressure from parents and students for computer education courses. Moreover, students who pursue core branches will have more job opportunities in the future with the country’s spectacular economic growth which would pave the way for speedy development in all sectors,” said Dr. Reddy, who taught economics at Andhra University for three decades. Internships and training programmes in reputed institutions and firms will improve confidence levels and get the students acquainted with industry work culture,” he said.
