Ahmedabad: The main objective of
the restructuring plan of the Cept
University — ratified by the board of
management — is to make Cept a sys-
tem-driven institution. For the first
time students will be allowed to
choose courses other than the ones
they are enrolled in, as elective sub-
jects.
Special certificate courses will be
offered to students and professionals
during summer and winter vaca-
tions. These courses will be open to
students from anywhere in the coun-
try.
A policy document says that the
restructuring plan aims to make the
university self-sufficient, which will
help it maintain its autonomy, finan-
cial independence, and traditions.
The plan will also ensure sharing of
utilities among faculties, like labs
and resources. The plan also fixes the
number of teaching hours for full-
time faculty members to ensure that
students get the maximum out of the
courses.
“Cept’straditionhasbeentobuild

courage collaborative academic exer-
cises,” says a senior faculty member

ment bodies, the university’s special

Accordingly separate undergradu-

gramme offices will be set up. These

n the upcoming academic calendar
year, besides the two semesters,
Cept will have two more four-week
teaching sessions. The sessions will
be a part of the Cept Summer School
and Cept Winter School. Cept intends
to open these programmes not only to
its own students, but also to students
from schools across the country. TNN
