To increase employability after technical courses, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi is planning to completely revamp syllabus of technical courses across colleges in the country.

This was stated by Dr MP Poonia, vice chairman, AICTE during a meeting with the delegation of All India Federation of Self Financing Colleges Association (AIFSFTI).

The new syllabus with addition of new subjects to bring uniformity in the curriculum in technical institutions throughout the nation, will come into effect from July 1, he further said, adding that the new syllabus for engineering courses will be highly technical and job oriented.

He also mentioned that the syllabus will be industry linked, which would also make spending two months per year in an industry, mandatory for students. "The AICTE is tying up with CII and Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises to give industrial exposure to the students,"Poonia stated.

The AICTE also plans to lay emphasis on training teachers, following which programmes have been designed specially to serve the purpose. The AICTE has roped in Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) for a three-month training programme for teachers after M. Tech.
