Maths, physics not a must for engineering: AICTE

全印度技术教育委员会：数学和物理不再是工科的必修科目

CHENNAI: In a controversial move that would impact the quality of engineers produced in the country, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has made mathematics and physics at Class I-level optional to get admissions to BE and BTech courses from 2021-22.

金奈：全印度技术教育委员会(AICTE)已将12年级的数学和物理列为选修课程，申请2021-2022年的工学学士和技术学士专业的，这两个科目不再是必修。这是一项有争议的举措，将影响未来印度工程师的素质。

As of now, Class I-level maths and physics subjects are compulsory for admissions to undergraduate programmes in engineering and technology.

目前，工程与技术本科课程，12年级的必修科目包括数学和物理。

The approval process handbook for 2021-22 released by the AICTE has changed the eligibility criteria for UG admissions. Now, students have to pass 10+2 with any of the three following subjects — physics /mathematics / chemistry / computer science / electronics / information technology / biology / informatics practices / biotechnology / technical vocational subject / agriculture / engineering graphics / business studies / entrepreneurship.

AICTE发布的2021-2022年度审批流程手册修改了本科入学的资格标准。现在，学生必须通过以下课程中的任何三科：物理、数学、化学、计算机科学、电子、信息技术、生物、信息实践、生物技术、技术职业、农业、工程图学、商业研究和创业。

Candidates have to score 45% marks (for reserved category students it is 40% marks) in the above subjects taken together. “The universities will offer suitable bridge courses such as mathematics, physics, engineering drawing for students coming from diverse backgrounds to achieve learning outcomes of the programme,” AICTE said in its handbook.

以上各科成绩合计要达到45%(预留类为40%)。AICTE在手册中说:“ 大学将为来自不同背景的学生提供合适的课程，如数学、物理、工程制图。”

The move has come under strong criticism from academicians who said mathematics is a foundation for all engineering degrees. “Bridge course is a remedial course for those who are weak in Mathematics. It cannot replace higher secondary-level mathematics, which is a foundational course," said S Vaidhyasubramaniam, vice-chancellor of SASTRA university.

这一举措遭到了院士们的强烈批评，他们称数学是基础。“ 桥梁课程是为数学较差的学生开设的补习班，无法取代作为基础课程的高等中学数学，”SASTRA大学副校长S Vaidhyasubramaniam说道。

The AICTE's model curriculum for engineering programmes has Mathematics running up to fifth semester in almost all programmes. “Mathematics and physics have to be compulsory for all engineering courses,” he added.

工程专业的课程几乎都有数学，一直到第五学期。“数学和物理应当是所有工科专业的必修课，”他补充说。

Stupidity taken to advanced level. Is any of the children of bureaucrats or politicians affected by this requirement for mathematics and physics? Otherwise no one can see why this change. Mathematics and Physics are the foundation for Engineering studies.

愚蠢至极。印度官僚或政客的孩子会怕数学和物理吗?

否则没人能明白为什么要这样改。数学和物理是工程研究的基础啊。

why not give them engineering degrees without any subjects ?? :)

干脆什么都不用学，直接给他们颁发工程学位？

Even in developed countries ......maths is a must for engineering

在发达国家，数学也是工程学的必修课

Students who are poor in Maths and Physics lacks analytical abilities. They will be qualitatively poor engineers. In fact, Maths and Physics curriculum needs to be made rigorous.

数学和物理差的学生缺乏分析能力，毕业后当工程师也会是比较差的。事实上，数学和物理要严格要求。

I am not surprised. Most kids nowadays only want to become Tiktokers, Youtubers or dancers/singers. We will soon become a nation of singing dancing troupes. This is a first major step in that direction.

我一点也不惊讶。如今，大多数孩子只想成为抖音、youtuber网红、舞者或歌手。我们很快就会成为一个歌舞民族。这次我们是朝着这个方向迈出的第一步。

I mean anything is possible under Modi.

在莫迪的领导下，一切皆有可能。

also make biology optional for medicine.

把生物学改成申请医学专业的选修科目吧。

engineering not possible without maths and physics

没有数学和物理就不可能有工程

If non MBBS doctors can perform surgery then engineers don't need maths and physics.

如果没有医学学士文凭的医生可以做手术，那么工程师就不需要会数学和物理了。

What this Modi government is doing.. ruining all the things..A engineer without Maths

莫迪政府在做什么…破坏了所有的东西。现在不会数学也能当工程师了

Soon " cow exam" qualifiers will be able to sit for engineering exam. Those engineers will be able to make bridges, roads and skyscrapers with mix of just two ingredients cow dung patty and gaumutra. Incredible India!!!

很快，通过“牛学考试”的人就可以参加工程学考试了。这些工程师只需用牛粪和牛尿这两种原料来建造桥梁、道路和摩天大楼。不可思议的印度! !

AICTE decision makers must be full of Liberal arts and law stalwarts.

AICTE的决策者肯定都是文科生。

Jyotirmoy Mukhopadhyay

I think at least Mathematics should have been made compulsory for any engineering course. Depending on the branch of degree Physics may not be necessary

我认为至少数学应该是工程专业的必修课，物理可能没必要

Better collect money and issue degree certificates. Why waste effort for students to go institutions and attend acadamia classes? In fact How many competant engineers are in our government services and drawing huge salaries sitting idle?

最好是明码标价，先收钱，再发学位证书。为什么要学生浪费精力去学校上课?

事实上，有多少工程师在我们的政府部门拿着高薪无所事事?

FOOLISH MOVE!!!

愚蠢之举! !

THEN WHAT WILL BE MANDATORY, ANDH BHAKTHS?

数学和物理都不是必修了，那还有哪些是必修的？
