An interactive session was conducted with the Principal Dr. Ashish Sasankar of the college and the M.Sc. students on 13th September 2023 regarding the change in syllabus due to NEP.Two Main changes are i.e Addition of the programming language C/C, Python and Research Methodology (based on research and training.)

The Principal emphasized on the following points.

The students need to work on Foundational Knowledge, Individual and Team Work, Elementary Skills,Basic Analytic skills,Self-directed and life-long learning,Computational Thinking etc.

And he continued with the points: On-job training or a Field Project is a skill-based practical program. The objective of this program is to allow the student to gain vocational training in academics/ research/industry based on mathematical concepts also to encourage the student to take up a lifetime vocation based on the program he/she is pursuing. On-job training/field work will also allow the student to work in a team and gain experience, which will be helpful in his/her future endeavours.

This program can be carried out in two ways: (A) Training in external research Institute/ National Institute/ Industry/ Company based on mathematical applications

(B) Alternatively, the student can take up a field-based project that can be assigned by the Internal Mentor from the Department only during M.Sc. Sem-II program. However, such a project will be based on field activity that will lead to skill enhancement.

The programme was attended by nearabout 40 students ,the faculties of Mathematics Asst. Prof. Charu Gundare , Asst. Prof Prachi Kolhe, Asst. Prof Mahesh Waghamare and Staff of CS Dept.were present.

The session ended with a note from the Principal that “If the students collaborate, they will Elaborate”.
