Panchkula Polytechnic College to begin BTech courses

Panchkula, April 11

Higher Education Department has given the green light to starting BTech courses in engineering from academic session 2023-24 at Government Polytechnic College, sector 26, here.

One course in computer science engineering (CSE) and the other in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and automation will be started here. This will be the first polytechnic institute in the state to start both courses.

Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said the residents of the city and adjoining areas had been demanding an engineering college here for a long time. As completing various formalities on behalf of the state government and taking approval of the All-India Council for Technical Education for establishing an engineering college takes a long time, he decided to put up the demand for BTech courses in the Government Polytechnic Institute. A letter was written on his behalf to Minister of Higher Education Mool Chand Sharma on April 7. Accepting the demand within three days, the state government issued necessary instructions to the officials concerned in this regard, he added.

Gupta said both courses were in great demand in the country as well as abroad. Keeping in view the pace of industrial development in Panchkula and its adjoining areas, there is a need for running IT-based BTech engineering courses here. He has also demanded that courses in automation control, designing, quality control, fabrication inspection, maintenance service, etc, be started too.

First such institute in state to offer stream
