As a major advance in promoting technical education, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) on April 8 inaugurated a Centre of Excellence for Professional Skill Development at University Polytechnic. It is designed to offer industry-relevant and future-relevant skills to students.
The inaugural ceremony was presided over by Vice Chancellor, Professor Mazhar Asif, and was graced by important officials such as Registrar Prof Mohammad Mahtab Alam Rizvi, Dean Faculty of Engineering & Technology Prof Mini Shaji Thomas, and MD Sundresan Narayanan of Carrier Air-conditioning Ltd.
Delivering the keynote speech on the occasion, Professor Asif added that the new facility would bridge the gap between industry requirements and academic needs. "This is part of our vision to transform JMI as a centre of practical and employment-oriented learning," he said.
In the meanwhile, JMI will close its online admission portal on April 10, 2025 for undergraduate and postgraduate courses like BTech and BArch. Eligible applicants can apply online at admission.jmi.ac.in.
25 programs will take admission on UG, PG, diploma, and advanced diploma levels based on scores in CUET in this year. Besides that, entrance exams for another 29 programs will be held across nine cities of India for better accessibility among Indian students other than Delhi/NCR.
Jamia has added 14 new courses in areas such as design, computer science, fine arts, and vocational skills. These include most evening or self-financed programs, allowing flexible learning.
In an effort to attract more foreign students, JMI reduced application fees for SAARC applicants and changed its foreign student fee policy. Foreign PhD applicants can now take online interviews, and two seats in the BDS course are reserved for foreign nationals.
