Anna University has roped in experts from various walks of life, including its meritorious students, to revise its curriculum.
“The exercise is expected to begin around mid-March,” Vice-Chancellor R. Velraj said. “There will be a brainstorming session with 90 experts whom we have identified. We will have 10 experts each from academicians and IAS officers, 10 human resources experts, 10 top ranked students from various departments and 10 alumni,” he said.
According to him, the curriculum had not been revised for 25 years and it was the reason why students from even core engineering subjects like mechanical and civil, struggled to land jobs during campus recruitment drives. “One of the issues that will be discussed is the introduction of courses in emerging technologies,” he noted.
