Mumbai, June 27, 2024: The NMIMS Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management and Engineering (MPSTME) has introduced a new Diploma Engineering Programme, a transformative three-year course designed for students who have completed their 10th standard. This programme is a significant step in aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and provides a seamless pathway from diploma to degree in engineering.
NMIMS MPSTME has repositioned its renowned 10+6 Dual Degree Programme into a more accessible Diploma programme, followed by a smooth transition into a degree programme. This innovative restructuring is in the final stages of approval by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
The new Diploma Engineering Programme is designed to be the first step towards leadership in engineering, merging foundational education with cutting-edge technological training. Students will have the opportunity to specialise in one of four key areas:
Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering. This comprehensive curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the ever-evolving field of engineering. The new programme will be available exclusively at the Mumbai campus, offering 60 seats each in Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Science & Engineering, and 180 seats in Computer Engineering. This ensures a focused and dedicated learning environment where students can thrive under the guidance of experienced faculty members.
Talking about the new programme, Dr. Ramesh Bhat, Vice Chancellor, NMIMS, said, “The launch of the Diploma Engineering Programme is a major step in our ongoing commitment to providing accessible and high-quality education. We are confident that this programme will lay a strong foundation for future engineers and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to lead in their respective fields.”
To be eligible for the programme, the candidate must have passed the 10 th Std. / SSC examination or its equivalent with at least 70% aggregate marks.
