The AICTE chairman has insisted that colleges should not ignore the main engineering branches. “If everything goes for AI, there will be saturation there too. You should encourage students to take up core subjects as well,” he said, as reported in the news portal. Sahasrabuddhe told students about core subjects. Simultaneously, it is suggested to offer smaller programs in the new age programmes.
Meanwhile, Karnataka State Council of Higher Education Vice-Chairman B Thimme Gowda said, “One of the biggest challenges in introducing hybrid learning will be taking teachers into confidence.” There will be initial reluctance, which will have to be faced, he said.
