Rajouri | Feb 23
In another milestone for the university, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has issued Letter of Intent for Engineering and Technology (B.Tech Degree) to Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University through College of Engineering and Technology (COET). As per letter issued by Advisor (E&T), AICTE, the proposal was processed as per the procedures, guidelines, policies and norms and standards of AICTE subsequent to which the Council issued Letter of Intent (LOI). The university offers B.Tech programme in three streams viz Information Technology, Computer Sciences, Electronics and Communication. Admissions to the programme are conducted by a State level Entrance Test which shall be conducted in July 2008. Jenab Masud Ahmad Choudhary, Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, BGSBU has said the university strives to achieve highest standards of academic excellence and this is one more step towards the mission of imparting state-of-art higher technical education in remotest of the remote areas of the State. COET, which is a feather in cap for the university, commenced academic activities w.e.f. August / September 2007 on short notice and the entire exercise was completed in a record period of 88 days. MBA and MCA courses of BGSB University are already approved by AICTE since first academic session.
Mr. Choudhary said that establishment of Engineering College shall go a long way towards fulfilling aspiration of the people in the State in general and twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch in particular. This part of the State has remained neglected and cut-off from mainstream technical education network so far. Even after 60 years of independence, there was no technical institution to offer professional degrees in this part of Jammu & Kashmir State. As a consequence, young aspirants of this area had to go all the way to the plains of India to seek technical education, very often in sub-standard institutions. BGSBU has taken the initiative and lead to establish a hi-tech Engineering College on the hills of Dhanore, Rajouri.
The university also proposes to offer Bachelors and Master's degree technical programmes in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Food technology etc. in the coming years. The university offers in-house hostel facility for boys & girls, state of art laboratories, central library, round the clock internet facility, guest lectures by eminent academicians etc which has resulted in full campus placement of students of various disciplines in reputed National and Multinational companies. Very rigorous and highly competitive admission process is followed by the university, which comprises written Entrance Test and Interview. Academicians, students, politicians and people from all walks of life have welcomed the step taken by the university to establish College of Engineering & Technology at Rajouri. |
