The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is planning to establish a dozen innovation centres across the country, its Chairman T.G. Sitharam said here on Saturday.
Delivering the 37th convocation address at the Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology and Research Academy (SASTRA) Deemed-to-be-University, Prof. Sitharam said the time had come for the conventional way of teaching to give way for a new method.
In the fast-changing world, survival and critical-thinking abilities are essential. Though students have the freedom to choose their course, they need hands-on experience in technology and concepts during their course of education so that they can become an employable human resource.
