Sources said that RTMNU is also planning to introduce sandwich pattern in the courses. All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has granted permission for this pattern. Sandwich pattern or courses implies combination of two syllabus into one, for example, mixing of BE and MBA and instead of completing the course in six years it would get completed in 5 years, thus, saving one year of the students. Also, stress will be give to improve the communication skills, technical writing, project writing, report writing of the students.
It seen that students have been showing discomfort to chose courses like engineering in Technology, Chemical technology. Students neglect courses in Laxminarayan Institute of Technology. Thus, number of courses has increased but quality in education has hampered.
Talking about the issue, Dr Vilas Sapkal, Vice Chancellor of RTMNU said, “We have approached the companies who attended Advantage Vidarbha programme and other small industries and they have consented to help. Also, the sandwich courses will soon be introduced in RTMNU.”
RTMNU Senate member D K Agrawal said that RTMNU should give preference to honours courses. He further added, along with the new courses, stress should also be give to strengthen the old courses in order to help students attain a bright future.
