JMI
Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) is conducting a BE (Part-time) course along with regular BTech course in the Faculty of Engineering & Technology.
The BE (Part-time) course was started in the year 1979 to supplement the additional qualification for Diploma Engineering holders who are already in job/employment.
The BE (Part-time) students are agitating for the conversion of their course into a full-fledged one.
The Dean and Heads of Departments of Engineering Faculty and Dean Students’ Welfare held a meeting with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the nodal agency of the Government of India for technical education and JMI is waiting for their response as to the modalities of conversion of the course from part-time into a full-time programme.
Few students, despite knowing that the matter is pending now with AICTE, went ahead by design on a hunger strike, disturbed the classes and locked the entrance Gate no.7 of the university which provides access to faculties of Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and the Central Library.
There are certain disruptive forces who are trying to foment trouble by disturbing the classes and overall peaceful environment of the university.
JMI appeals to its regular students to be aware of the factual position and not be misguided by vested elements and help in maintaining the healthy academic ambience on campus.
Also, Jamia Millia Islamia’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) has launched the much awaited one-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Design Thinking (PGDEID) from the upcoming academic session 2018-2019 earlier this month.
The course is in line with the government’s initiative to help job seekers become job creators.
The last date for submitting online applications for the course that will admit a total of 20 candidates is July 31, 2018, that is tomorrow. Applicants can apply for admission through the website of the Office of the Controller of Examination Jamia Millia Islamia at jmicoe.in
Vice Chancellor, JMI, Prof Talat Ahmad congratulated CIE on its timely launch of the course while underscoring the need to inculcate a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation among students so that they can fulfil their dreams and contribute to the overall development of the nation.
The multi-disciplinary course will focus on entrepreneurship through innovations and design thinking. It is open to students across disciplines who dream of becoming successful entrepreneurs.
The purpose of the proposed PG diploma is to empower and enable students to develop advanced knowledge and skills to become successful entrepreneurs and managers in their own area of specialisation and interest. It will also take into account the business management perspective of entrepreneurship.
The course will rope in faculty members with rich teaching and research experience in the field of entrepreneurship, innovation and design thinking, including experts from IIMs, IITs, and other Central universities as visiting professors.
Entrepreneurs from various walks of life will also be invited to act as student mentors.
PGDEID will comprise of two semesters of learning, experience sharing and initiating start-ups of new ideas.
Recently, Jamia Millia Islamia’s Residential Coaching Academy (RCA) has conducted all India entrance test on July 22, 2018, for its coaching programme for Civil Services (Prelims-cum-Main) Examinations 2019.
