Great news awaits engineering students! No longer will they need to seek jobs in distant cities; instead, they can secure employment in their hometowns.
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has introduced a career portal which will facilitate job applications based on individual skills. Collaborating with a private agency, AICTE has ensured access to prominent companies such as Flipkart, Paytm, Zomato, Tech Mahindra, and Jio through this portal. Prof. Mithilesh Kumar Jha highlighted how this initiative will streamline the job search process for students, offering opportunities across various locations where these companies operate.
Students are additionally offered opportunities for internships within these enterprises. As per AICTE, engineering students will face reduced challenges in securing employment through the help of this portal.
Students can get help with crafting their resumes through the career portal, which offers tailored guidance for different fields. It aims to support over 3 million students in finding job and internship opportunities globally. The portal acts like a career GPS, helping students navigate their professional paths. It addresses the common challenge of creating effective resumes with an AI-powered resume builder, allowing students to highlight their achievements and receive feedback on their resumes with minimal input. Additionally, it assists in generating customized cover letters for specific applications.
AICTE is reportedly providing students with a chance to visit Silicon Valley in the USA. To qualify, students need to succeed in a competition. Winners will have opportunities to work at prestigious companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Over 10,000 students nationwide have already signed up for this competition.
Mumbai: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved 192 new divisions in engineering and management institutes across the state dedicated to teaching working professionals looking to upgrade their educational qualifications.
About The New AICTE Policy
The institutes, which include some of the prominent engineering colleges in the state, will be able to admit working professionals for special weekend and evening classes from this academic year 2024-25 as part of a new AICTE policy. The state Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell will soon begin a Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for these programmes.
While 69 of the new divisions will be opened in polytechnics offering engineering diplomas, the remaining 123 divisions belong to undergraduate and post-graduate engineering courses, Master of Business Administration (MBA)/Master of Management Studies (MMS), Post Graduation Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Master of Computer Applications (MCA). The number of seas in a single division ranges from 15 to 60.
The Mumbai region, which covers the city and the districts in Konkan, got 30 new divisions for UG and PG courses, including five at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Matunga and two at Sardar Patel College of Engineering (SPCE) for various engineering streams. Three management colleges have been permitted to offer MMS and PGDM programmes, while three polytechnics have eight divisions for working professionals. College of Engineering Pune (CoEP) is another popular institute that will offer four courses under this scheme.
