Lucknow University is undertaking significant reforms in its engineering curriculum at its second campus to better meet industry demands and incorporate emerging technologies. A dedicated Curriculum Review Committee has been established to revise the syllabus with a focus on enhancing employability skills. Key proposals include implementing a common first semester for all engineering disciplines and allowing students to change branches earlier, specifically in the second semester rather than the third. To alleviate the pressure of internal assessments, the university plans to replace two mid-term exams with a single mid-term examination, while continuous lab evaluations will eliminate the need for separate external practical exams. Additionally, a flexible eighth semester will enable students to pursue six-month industrial training with reputable companies and research institutions, contingent on meeting specific eligibility criteria, including stipend or package standards. Vice-chancellor Prof JP Saini stated that these reforms aim to modernize the engineering curriculum, making it more flexible and aligned with global standards, ultimately enhancing student skills and job readiness.
