NIT Students can now do 2-year Online Course at ISB

Posted On: 17/01/2014 Updated On:

NIT-Warangal students, who have an aptitude for entrepreneurship, will have a double bonanza. Those who will enter third year of engineering will have an option to do a two-year course at ISB online simultaneously and after they complete their B.Tech. at NIT, they could walk out with an ISB certificate, as well.

This is the latest development at NIT Warangal and when director Prof. T Srinvasa Rao talks about it, he is very much excited. "We are partnering with Jawahar Knowledge Centres of AP government which has roped in other institutes like IIT Hyderabad, BITS Hyderabad and a couple of private institutions like CBIT. The idea is to have a two-year entrepreneurship programme with ISB. Those who have aptitude for entrepreneurship would be identified.

"They would do the course offered by the ISB online. They may be required to be on ISB campus once in a while, maybe once in six weeks or two months. The ISB conducts tests and then issues certificates to the students at the end of the two-year programme," Srinivasa Rao says.

After taking over as director of NIT in May 2011 which in fact was his alma mater, Prof. Srinivasa Rao's first achievement was bringing a sense of discipline in the institute which used to be in the news for all the wrong reasons and later on began focusing on research area of the institution.

The result: The campus is quiet and students think of nothing else but studies and research. "There was some trouble earlier. But, after I took over, with the help of counsellors and police officers, the situation has come under control. If you care for students, they will listen to you. There was change in their attitude and today I am happy that NIT Warangal is considered one of the best in the country," he says.
