Today skills, not just degree, needed
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony Dr Umesh Nagdeve said that today required skills have more importance in the jobs sector as the era of just obtaining a formal degree ended. He said that students mostly opt for a course just because their friends have taken it or their parents want it.
“The students should choose a course considering his/her capacity and abilities. Parents should enquire about the quality of teachers and syllabus, ranking of the educational institute while taking admission to competitive examination coaching classes,” he said. Dr Nagdeve said that it is also more important from where one had completed a course than what one had learnt.
“Students should get knowledge and wisdom. The latter depends on teachers of an educational institute. The main motto of education is to build the character of students and nurture the generation. Earlier, there were only five branches of Engineering including Civil and mechanical while new branches like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Data Science, are emerging. AI will be applicable in many fields not just in Engineering. Even a school-going boy will be able to use it. The implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) will bring major changes in the education field,” he added.
