LU 1st university in country to start 1-yr PG course under NEP
Lucknow: The Lucknow University has become the first university in India to fully implement a one-year postgraduate programme under the National Education Policy. Tailored for students who have completed a four-year UG degree with research, the programme is divided into two semesters and includes 20 academic credits. Its structure emphasises flexibility, interdisciplinarity and outcome-based learning, in alignment with NEP's vision for holistic and efficient higher education, officials said. The decision to implement this programme was formally confirmed during the executive council meeting on Saturday, following a year-long academic and administrative preparation. While the ordinance for the one-year PG structure was approved in Aug 2024, it took a year to complete the development of the academic framework, course design and departmental readiness. The university is now ready to admit students to this new programme. To support learners under this model, several academic schemes have been introduced. Under the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), students can choose from a wide range of core, elective and open courses, enabling them to shape their academic journey according to their goals. The curriculum also encourages interdisciplinary learning, allowing students to select subjects beyond their primary field of study. Credit transfer flexibility enables students to complete part of their coursework through national platforms like SWAYAM or other UGC-recognised institutions. The programme offers skill-based and value-added courses such as academic writing, data analysis, entrepreneurship and foreign languages. Dedicated faculty mentors will guide students in course selection, research planning and academic development, officials said. This course not only provides a faster and research driven alternative to the traditional two-year model but also aligns well with international standards, supporting students aiming to pursue higher education abroad or enter the global job market, officials said. "This one-year PG programme is a landmark step in implementing the true spirit of NEP 2020," said LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava.

NIAT Scales Nationwide with 10+ Campuses, Offering Industry-Ready B.Tech
BusinessWire India Hyderabad [India], May 1: India's engineering education is undergoing a much-needed transformation, and leading the way is the NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technologies (NIAT). A new-age institute offering a in Computer Science in collaboration with UGC-approved universities, NIAT has now expanded to over 10 campuses across India, blending the credibility of recognised degrees with the power of industry-focused learning. Founded by IIT and IIIT alumni, NIAT was built around one question: What if college actually prepared students for the industry world and beyond it? With a curriculum reverse-engineered from the hiring practices of top tech companies and mentorship from those who have built products at global giants, NIAT helps students upskill from Day 1 and bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world impact. The NIAT student journey: How it works 1. Select NIAT Corporate at a partnered university 2. Study at the university's campus with an NIAT program embedded 3. Learn through NIAT's proprietary curriculum and pedagogy 4. NIAT academic and operational teams are deployed on the ground to ensure consistency 5. Earn a UGC-recognised certificate upon completion 6. Graduate with an IRC 4.0 certificate (Industry-Ready Certificate), co-recognised by NSDC, validating skills, projects, and employability Consistent learning across India NIAT was initially established in Hyderabad, where its first campus laid the foundation for a new model of engineering education. As demand grew for its industry-ready curriculum and hands-on pedagogy, NIAT expanded its footprint across the country to meet the needs of students and the evolving tech industry. At NIAT, students graduate with a UGC-recognised degree in Computer Science, partnered with top institutions such as * NIAT Delhi - Sharda University * NIAT Pune - Ajeenkya DY Patil University * NIAT Mangalore - Yenepoya University * NIAT Kolhapur - Sanjay Ghodawat University * NIAT Vijayawada - NRI Institute of Technology * NIAT Chennai - Takshashila University * NIAT Rajampet - Annamacharya University * NIAT Jaipur - Vivekananda Global University * NIAT Hyderabad - Chaitanya University Students appear for a single degree examination, just like any other recognised engineering program. The difference lies in what and how they learn. Regardless of campus, every NIAT student follows the same advanced curriculum, pedagogy, and mentorship model, crafted by NIAT. In addition to the degree, students also earn an Industry-Ready Certificate (IRC) upon graduation, validating their tech skills, project experience, and job-readiness, an essential layer of credibility in today's competitive job market. Placement access across India NIAT offers one of the most flexible and student-first placement systems. Students studying at any NIAT campus can participate in placement drives held across other NIAT locations. So if a student in Hyderabad wants to explore job opportunities in Delhi or Bangalore, they can do so. This pan-India placement access ensures students never have to compromise on location or role fit. Backed by a network of 3000+ hiring partners, NIAT offers more than just placement support, it delivers a career ecosystem. From structured interview coaching to personalised career guidance, everything is designed to match students with roles that truly fit their potential. And the impact is already visible. In just 8 months, over 400 students secured paid internships in their very first semester. The rest are on track to challenge every norm that traditional engineering education has set. This isn't an exception, it is the new benchmark for what students should expect from their experience. Campus life that fosters creativity and leadership NIAT campuses are equipped with modern infrastructure, AR/VR labs, drone and programming zones that simulate real-world tech environments. Clubs across domains like Entrepreneurship, Gen AI, Sports, Indoor Games, Competitive Public Speaking, Media, Social Impact, and Performing Arts give students creative spaces to collaborate, lead, and grow beyond academics. The NIAT advantage: Curriculum that evolves with the industry NIAT's 4-year program is structured to continuously upskill students at every stage, from foundational coding to industry-level problem-solving and specialisations. Year 1: Build strong foundations * Computer Science fundamentals and MERN Stack * Start coding from Day 1 with real-world projects * Early exposure to Generative AI, Data Science, and Automation Year 2: Problem-solving mastery * Master data structures and algorithms * Learn frameworks used by top tech companies * Prepare for global hackathons like GSoC and ICPC Year 3: Choose your specialisation * Software engineering track: System design, scalable architectures * AI/ML & Data science track: Big data, Predictive Modelling, ML deployment Year 4: Industry immersion * Build production-ready applications in capstone projects * Get PPO-ready through structured interview preparation NIAT also includes hands-on workshops in Physical AI, covering IoT, Robotics, and Autonomous Vehicles, giving students exposure to the technologies shaping the next decade. A mentorship model built for real impact NIAT uses a three-layered mentorship system: * SuperMentors: Industry experts from MAANG companies conduct masterclasses and project reviews * Academic mentors: IITians and software developers provide deep subject guidance and code-level feedback * Success coaches: Offer non-academic support in time management, mindset building, and productivity This multi-dimensional support system ensures that students are never alone in their journey and continuously upskill with expert guidance. NIAT: The degree that begins with experience As NIAT continues to grow, it is proving that the future of engineering lies in education that is hands-on, adaptive, and deeply industry-connected. This new-age institute offering a in Computer Science is built not just for students who want to pass exams, but for those who want to upskill, build, and lead in the world of technology. Because at NIAT, one doesn't just graduate with a degree, one gets a degree in experience.
