Hyderabad : The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTU-H) is holding a series of deliberations on how to bring changes in the existing courses in line with the New Education Policy (NEP).

According to the university authorities, the student-centric NEP focusing not only academic knowledge but also real-time experience is providing multiple entries and existing options.

A student on completion of his first year of B.Tech course will get a course completion level certificate. Similarly, on completion of two years of the B.Tech course, a student will get a postgraduate diploma level certificate.

Apart from that student can take a year gap after completing his certificate or diploma level course and take up practical training. Then, come back to complete the remaining course. Several other aspects also have to be covered as per the NEP.
