The faculty of engineering and technology at Jamia Millia Islamia , under its department of electrical engineering, will be offering an MTech course in control and instrumentation. The two-year programme to be launched from the new academic year will have a total intake of 18 students. According to Khalid Moin, dean, faculty of engineering and technology, the varsity was deliberating on a range of new courses that are in demand since last year. "We have already taken an approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for the programme. Though we have various professional courses at all levels in electrical engineering, specialised courses are much in demand and help give a deeper insight into the subject," he says.

On the rationale of the course, Moin says, "Looking at the electrical power demand in the country, there is a need for specialised professionals in different sectors. Also, India has a potential power sector, which needs to be diversified and developed . This is possible when we have a large workforce of professionals dealing with problems at the smallest level." The power sector in the country is more of a public sector undertaking with the involvement of only a few private players. As for the future of the course, he says that with the kind of growing demand in the power sector, there will be no dearth of jobs.

Students can get employment in government power grids, power plants, research projects, etc. Also, they can be part of government schemes to bring in alternative means of power supply in the rural and backward areas.

Hands-on training is part of the curriculum. Students with a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, instrumentation, electronic or communications engineering with not less than 60% aggregate marks will be eligible to apply for the course. Also, students appearing for the exam will be entitled to GATE scholarships. Admissions will be through an entrance test, which will be held on JULY 7, followed by an interview Last date of receipt of completed application forms is APRIL 30 To download forms and for more details, log on to www.jmi.ac.in

New Delhi, Jul 3: The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea challenging Karnataka government's decision to impose a 25 percent domicile reservation in the National Law School of India University in Bengaluru.

A division bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Subramonium Prasad observed that the impugned law is passed by the State of Karnataka, and the respondent university is also situated in Karnataka.

The court granted liberty to the petitioner to move the appropriate forum with their grievances.

The Karnataka Assembly had passed the National Law School of India (Amendment) Act, 2020 in March this year, which provided a 25 per cent horizontal reservation for students of Karnataka in the NLSIU.

The High Court observed that the main contesting parties in the present case were the NLSIU and the Karnataka Government. As the court did not show any interest in entertaining the plea, the petitioner withdrew the plea.
