AKTU Admissions 2021: Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University and associated colleges are all set to offer BTech in computer science programme in Hindi. The decision has been taken in accordance with the New Education Policy that promotes teaching in the mother tongue so students may grasp what is being taught in class with ease. On June 9, during its academic council meeting, the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University gave its consent to teach computer science in Hindi, said vice-chancellor Vinay Kumar Pathak who chaired the meeting.
Along with AKTU, a few private colleges have also shown interest to run the computer science course at the undergraduate level in Hindi. Their request was in sync with the New Education Policy and hence it was approved by the academic council. Talking about the University’s decision, Vineet Kansal, pro-vice-chancellor, AKTU and director, Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Lucknow, said, “The B Tech course in Hindi will help students coming from remote, rural backgrounds. Now it will be easy for them to study the subject in their own language.” Candidates interested in AKTU Admissions 2021 must note that due to the unavailability of BTech computer science books in Hindi in the market, there are a few hurdles to overcome.
But there are a few hurdles to overcome as BTech computer science books in Hindi are presently unavailable in the market. “It was felt that once a few colleges start B Tech in Hindi, then publishers will be encouraged to start printing books in Hindi or translate English books,” he said.
An official said, “The New Education Policy approved by the Centre last year puts a focus on students’ mother tongue as the medium of instruction while emphasising that no language should be imposed on anyone. The policy document states that since children learn and grasp non-trivial concepts more quickly in the language spoken at home, which is often the mother tongue, it should preferably be the medium of instruction.”
