Engineering can be pursued after polytechnic: Minister
The Hindu
‘40,000 seats in polytechnics in Karnataka are lying vacant’
Minister for Higher Education and IT and BT C.N. Ashwath Narayan on Monday advised students wishing to pursue a career in engineering to take up polytechnic courses after completing their SSLC or Class X as the opportunities and benefits were plentiful.
Speaking after inaugurating a job mela at K.R. Constituency as part of a 20-day programme marking the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said not many students are aware that they could also pursue engineering after a polytechnic course but all of them join P.U. and then take up an engineering course.
Those interested in engineering as a career join P.U. after their SSLC or Class X and then later do a B.E. In fact, instead of joining P.U., such students can take up a polytechnic course as the knowledge and skills they gain in the course is immense.
