Math in class 12 no longer mandatory for 1/3rd of engineering courses- Education News
Math in Class XII is no longer mandatory to apply for one-third of engineering courses, including architecture, bio-technology and fashion technology, as announced by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) on Tuesday.
In its new guidelines for 2022-23, the AICTE also made chemistry in Class XII optional for studying computer science, electrical engineering and electronics engineering. Math has been made optional for 10 out of 29 diploma/UG courses.
Instead, students who studied any of 14 subjects, including computer science, electronics, information technology, biology, bio-technology, technical vocational subject, agriculture, engineering graphics, informatics practices, business studies and entrepreneurship, can now pursue engineering courses. In its 2021-22 guidelines, the AICTE had made math and physics optional for all engineering courses, drawing widespread criticism. This year, it has sought to address the concerns by limiting the courses that don’t need math, chemistry or physics.
