" We are conducting a holistic review of our courses so that we can improve the experience of students. This is being done after over a decade," said Banerjee. He also said that with a wide range of courses over the years, IITs have grown from being primarily undergraduate and engineering institutions to full-fledged universities.
The Director said that a review panel has been set up for the purpose and the matter is being discussed with the students and alumni. " Hopefully next year we will see many changes in the syllabus. We are trying to improve so that the students can face the challenges of the changing world with more confidence," he added.
