Maths, Physics || Maths, physics not a must for engineering: AICTE ||
The All Indian Council For Technical Education (AICTE) announced changes to the entry-level qualifications for engineering programmes that created quite a stir among students and the academic community.
Is studying Physics and Mathematics in high school no longer a prerequisite for pursuing B.Tech or B.E? We explain:
The AICTE is the standard-setting body for technical education in India. Every year, it brings out an Approval Process Handbook (or APH) that lays down the basic norms for recognising new technical education institutes, new programmes, and entry-level qualifications for admission to degree and diploma programmes, among other things. This years handbook carries a change in the eligibility criteria for admission to the four-year B.Tech and B.E. programmes.
Earlier, an engineering aspirant should have passed high school with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. The third subject could have been one from a list of 11 subjects Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Computer Science, Information Technology, Informatics Practices, Agriculture, Engineering Graphics, Business Studies, and technical vocational subjects. A general category candidate should have secured at least 45% overall in the three subjects.
Under the new norms, a candidate is expected to have scored at least 45% in any three subjects out of the list of 14 provided in the new handbook, which are Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology, Biology, Informatics Practices, Biotechnology, Technical Vocational subject, Engineering Graphics, Business Studies and Entrepreneurship.
