Mysuru: Vidya Vardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE) is aiming to get autonomous status with an intention to make its students fit for their related industries before they complete their respective courses. Once VVCE gets autonomous status the college will come out with its own syllabus.
The management and concerned authorities of VVCE have submitted an application to the government requesting for Autonomous Status at the earliest. The college is currently following Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) syllabus and has requested for autonomous status so that it can prepare its own syllabus based on present requirement and make its students industry fit well before they complete their respective courses.
Speaking to Newskarnataka, P Vishwanath, Secretary of Vidya Vardhaka Sangha said “We are trying our best to make Vidya Vardhaka College of Engineering as one of the leading institutions in Karnataka. The VVCE College which started with 540 students with four branches now have six branches with 780 students. We have created good infrastructure facilities and got NBA accreditation for five courses and NAAC ‘A’ grade”.
“We are heading towards autonomous status so that we can alter syllabus based on industrial requirement. We can find out what is the need for the industry and with the help of industrials experts we can change the syllabus and see that the candidates are employable once they complete their respective courses. Even government wants more autonomous universities which is also the trend in developed nations,” added Vishwanath.
