The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has approved the Osmania University College of Engineering's (OUCE)  newly introduced undergraduate courses; Mining Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), as well as a postgraduate course in Mining for the 2022-23 academic session. 

The University College has also been granted permission to increase the student intake in the BE Electronics and Communication Engineering course from 50 to 60. It has also received approval to extend all existing six undergraduates and 18 postgraduate courses for 2022-23.

“The approval and recognition of the new ME programme in mining will ensure the AICTE scholarship to the tune of Rs 13,000 for GATE-qualified students,” OUCE principal Dr Sriram Venkatesh said, as reported by siasat.

From this academic session, ten out of thirty seats in the Bio-Medical Engineering course will be reserved for TS EAMCET qualified students who completed BiPC in Intermediate. All such candidates will be admitted under the self-finance category and will be required to take a mathematics bridge course. Until now, admission to this programme was limited to candidates who completed MPC in Intermediate.

Meanwhile, the OUCE, an autonomous institution, is preparing to launch a revised curriculum for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses this year. With an aim to improve students' employability, the college has revamped 40 per cent of the curriculum. 

“The revised syllabus will be applicable to students, who enroll in the 2022-23 academic year while existing students will have the same syllabus. Inputs from industry and alumni have been incorporated into the revised syllabus in all UG and PG courses which the respective Boards of Studies are approving,” Venkatesh said.
