National Institution of Technology, Meghalaya, is the only new such institute to get its BTech degrees approved by National Board of Accreditation
The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) has underscored the need for technological institutes to hone emotional intelligence, a ‘must-have’ skill that will ride artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in the days to come.
Speaking at the eighth convocation of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Meghalaya, NBA Chairman K.K. Aggarwal said emotional intelligence skills would globally see a six-fold increase in response to the growth of AI and automaton. But the demand for emotional intelligence in India would increase at least eight times in the next three to five years.
“Getting yourselves trained in emotional intelligence skills will be a worthwhile investment for assured returns,” he told the faculty members and 214 students who were conferred PhD, MTech, MSc and BTech degrees on NIT, Meghalaya’s temporary Shillong campus on October 1.
