AICTE wakes up, plans BE-MBA composite course
From Our Correspondent
NEW DELHI : Waking up late -- very late -- the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) announced on April 12 that it would launch an integrated programme from this academic session that will give engineers with management skills.
The five-and-a-half year long integrated management programme will also be available for those aspiring to hold a managerial position in the field of
architecture, pharmacy or hotel management.
Students will be admitted to the course through the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT). The basic qualification for appearing in the test will be 10+2.
It will be a flexible programme which will provide an undergraduate degree in 3 or 4 years followed by a Master’s degree in five years. Apart from this a five year dual degree management course will also commence from this academic session.
The AICTE move has come very late as more and more colleges are closing down their engineering and postgraduate management programme for want of students. "Had the integrated programme come five years ago, it would have clicked well", says an education expert.
“We will soon issue a notification in this regard,” officiating AICTE chairman S S Mantha said.
In the first four years of the programme, students will complete their course in the respective discipline opted by them. Thereafter, they would seamlessly proceed to undergo one and a half year duration management course.
“After completion of integrated course, those from engineering will get a degree in integrated engineering management programme, architecture a degree in integrated architect management programme, and likewise in the case of pharmacy and hotel management,” Mantha said.
Apart from this, the AICTE is also set to launch a dual degree five year duration management programme from this academic session. The basic qualification required for admission to the programme will be 10+2. The students will be admitted to the programme through an entrance test, date of which is yet to be decided by the AICTE.
“A student can take to a job after completing his three- year bachelor programme in management or he can continue one year of the masters programme,” Mantha said.
