AU’s exclusive B.Tech for B.Sc. Graduates

Coimbatore: The Anna University, Coimbatore will offer exclusive BE and B.Tech programmes in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) for B.Sc. graduates with a background in Mathematics this year.

This was stated by its Vice-Chancellor Prof D Radhakrishnan during his convocation address at Maharaja Arts and Science College here on Sunday.

“Such new courses will benefit the students,” the V-C said and added that the courses would be three years.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) had already given the permission to enroll B.Sc. students with mathematics as background in the second year of engineering, which was coming into effect this year.

The V-C said already the diploma holders were vying with the Plus two students for the lateral entry seats at the engineering colleges. With the AICTE’s new provision, there would be tough fight.

“In order to avoid such problems, AU is going for exclusive three-year courses for B.Sc. graduates this year,” Radhakrishnan said.

As many as 229 undergraduate students and 134 Post graduate students were conferred their degrees.

Chairman of the college K. Paramasivam and Principal Prof C Logananthan were present. ENS
