Technical University’s- University Campus Program will necessarily include lectures that are
streamed directly from the IITs in the classes across University Campuses. This will be possible
through state-of-the-art infrastructure at these campuses.
Lectures from IITs give the students of this program, strong understanding and conceptual
foundation of engineering in the same manner as any student who is studying engineering at the
coveted IITs. QEEE under Ministry of Human Resource & Development has worked hard in
revamping and putting together a new model under which engineering education in India will get
delivered in near future. Students under University Campus Program undergo a rigorous
methodology all enabling them to excel in their chosen pursuits.
