CES Development
In recent times, there has been a lot of emphasis on providing holistic education to the students, and NEP2020 is only an assertion of this growing realization. It is felt that higher education, besides offering specialization in a domain, must also develop a student's character. The education must impart values, build intellectual curiosity, scientific temper and creativity. It must also build capabilities across various disciplines and skills. Engineering and sciences education needs to become more inclusive by having exposure to art and humanities. Similarly, the students of art and humanities need to be exposed to science-based courses. The underlying aim is to have a knowledgeable and vibrant society. The Centre for Essential Skills (CES) IIT Jammu will provide a range of such courses for its own student as well as learners of all kinds from wider society.
