In an attempt to cap the shortage of skilled hands in the aeronautics sector, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed universities across the country to offer a newly-designed course - BSc (Hons) in aircraft maintenance, under the new choice-based credit system.
A committee of experts, constituted by the UGC, has already prepared a draft syllabus for the new course. In a letter written by UGC secretary Jaspal Sandhu, the committee decided that in aeronautics sector, aircraft maintenance was particularly affected by a shortage of skilled manpower and thus the issue should merit urgent attention of higher educational institutions.
As per the draft syllabus, there will be two types of courses - core and elective. While there will be 14 papers in the core course, there will be eight papers in the elective course. In addition, the course would also include ability enhancement courses which would be further divided into compulsory and elective (skill based) courses. Each of these ability-enhancement courses would hold two credits each. The compulsory courses include English communication and environmental science.
