Usha Titus Wholesale Jordan Hicks Jersey , Principal Secretary, Department of Higher Education from Kerala government has admitted there are components in the curriculum which are not up to date.
"From next year, we are moving into the new curriculum. The AICTE-adopted new curriculum will be used in engineering colleges in Kerala," she told 'Express.'
Robin Alex Panicker, chief product officer at Finotes, and a close observer of the Kerala tech space Wholesale Nelson Agholor Jersey , pointed out that technology is changing very fast even as the tech-world has moved into another level., but our engineering college still follow decades-old syllabus and curriculum are stuck in the past.
"Students can easily get through the examinations by studying the question papers of the past five years. It's no secret. What we need is a flexible syllabus that incorporates the latest developments in the tech world," he said.
Another fresh change the Higher Education Department is planning to introduce is the involvement of industry in the curriculum.
"The industry involvement in the development of course is also very poor in Kerala," said Usha Titus, adding that companies like Tech Mahindra, which set up its facility in Thiruvananthapuram recently Wholesale Sidney Jones Jersey , and others have talked about industry involvement during the formation of curriculum.
"Not that they will decide the curriculum, but they will be able to say what aspects can be added to the curriculum to make it more relevant to the industry," she said, adding that in IIT-Madras, a new dual degree programme in engineering design as part of mechanical engineering was started with the involvement of core automobile industry majors such as Ashok Leyland, Mahindra and Ford.
"We need a similar practice here. We need that happening here. Industry involvement is very useful because then they feel the course is very valuable for picking up people for that Wholesale Derek Barnett Jersey ," said Usha.
Panicker reckoned while bureaucracy and the government want to bring in a change, there is a big resistance and inertia from the part of the university. "Their fear is that if the industry collaboration comes, their importance will go. Hence there is resistance from their side," he said.

After the academic council discusses the matter, it will come at the Syndicate, and then at the BoG. "So, it takes time. We are losing time," she said. For the three-semester course, Titus said ASAP has given two rounds of training for the selected set of teachers and finally we conducted a test.
"And based on a cut-off Wholesale Nick Foles Jersey , on a certain percentile, we have selected a few graduates. We will do it over three semesters. It will be through week-end classes; evening classes. It will not be part of the regular courses; you won't get any credits since it is not part of the regular course," she said. The course will be run in about 23-25 engineering colleges.
