How does the curriculum of TAE ensure the best practice of industry?

“Access to better learning methodologies and connection with industries”

Innovations being a core principle of our institute, we are constantly in touch with the advancements in the field of Science and Engineering. We always try to incorporate the new learning pedagogies in the curriculum to motivate students and make studies more interesting and fruitful. We have an excellent library with trending E-books, newly launched papers, journals, etc. that help keep the students updated and informed with latest trends in the market. Institute-Industry Interaction Cell, conducting industry representative talks and visits, helps us always keep in touch with all the trending topics and technologies going on in the practical world of industries. 

What is your opinion about the New Education Policy 2020?

“More flexibility with advanced learning and teaching”

The NEP 2020 talks about creating higher performance standards for teachers clearly stating out the role of the teacher at different levels of expertise and competencies required for that stage. Adhering to this new policy, teachers will also have to be digitally trained to blend into the digital learning processes at an early stage than ever. This is certainly great for our younger generation of students as they will get advanced mentorship right from the beginning of their education. Also, the inclusion of internships and vocational education in curriculum will help the students be prepared to contribute and easily work in the corporate industry.
