AUTONOMOUS STATUS TO MBCET

APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University has notified the conferment of autonomous status to MBCET by UGC for a period of 10 years (2020-21 to 2029-30). Autonomy provides greater flexibility to the institution in improving the quality of education towards achieving academic excellence.

As an autonomous college, MBCET will have the freedom to

  • Determine and prescribe its own courses of study and syllabi, and restructure and redesign the courses to suit local needs

  • Offer student-centric courses including a wide range of electives with freedom in choice of courses

  • Regularly update the syllabus in accordance with the evolution of technology, trends in research and changing requirements of the industry

  • Evolve methods of assessment of students’ performance that is well integrated and aligned with the teaching and learning process

  • Conduct of examinations and notification of results in a timely manner

  • Promote healthy practices such as community service, extension activities and projects for the benefit of the society

Autonomy provides the opportunity for enhancement in the quality of education and reflects the efforts of the institution for the achievement of excellence in academic performances and self governance. The degree will be awarded to the students by APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, based on the evaluation and recommendation by the college. The name of the college will be mentioned in the degree certificates.
