Ramdeobaba Kamla Nehru Engineering College (RKNEC) has become the third college from Nagpur University to get 'autonomous' college status, university sources said. The University Grants Commission ( UGC) has granted the status to RKNEC. In Nagpur University, Yashwantrao Chavan College of Engineering (YCCE) and GH Raisoni College of Engineering (GHRCE) are other colleges that had achieved this status earlier.
The first batch under this status would commence from the new academic session (2011-12) starting in June this year. With this, the college would not be out of traditional university system and would be free to design its own syllabus as per latest trends in the industry. The college will not only conduct its own admissions but also its own examinations and announce results on its own. RKNEC is already known as topmost private engineering college in the region with state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities. It also has one of the best faculties and its students consistently top NU examinations.
With its new status, RKNEC will have national advisory board with eminent members from institutions like IIT. The board will play a key role in framing the syllabus and also look at various other important aspects. The entire course will be divided into eight semesters. Even the first year will have two semesters unlike other engineering colleges in NU where first year is still based on yearly pattern. Instead of marks, the college would follow credit based system, sources added.
