Begin your Journey : A Glimpse of non-Engineering Courses

The results of Higher Secondary Examination of West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education and all other +2 level examinations conducted by different boards are out. Again, after completing graduation, many students are puzzled, as to what to study for enhancement of their careers. This is the time to apply for college and university admission. The students, parents, guardians and all stakeholders are too much worried regarding the same. Only the right decision can lead to the right career path for the young aspiring generation.

In this context the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), WB has organized an Awareness Programme for students and their guardians at the Salt Lake campus of the University (BF-142 Sector-I, Kolkata 64) for different non-engineering (non-AICTE) courses. The aim is to help them choose from 66 different courses taught at the University itself and at different affiliated colleges of MAKAUT all over West Bengal. The Awareness Programme will be held on June 7 and June 8, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 1 p. m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The New in-house non-AICTE courses

Prof. Saikat Maitra

The new in-house courses of MAKAUT need to be highlighted, as the Vice-Chancellor of MAKAUT, Prof. Dr. Saikat Maitra has pointed out that the University is introducing such courses to cater to the needs of the students in this modern digital era. Apart from the traditional courses in Engineering and Technology, a large number of courses have been introduced in the areas of Risk Management, Hotel and Hospitality Management, Real Estate Management, Media Science, Cyber Security, Internet of Things and so on. Prof. Maitra is of the opinion that these new courses will help in enhancing the employability of the students and will help them in their future career path. The ovarall objective is to improve the entire teaching-learning process and provide a viable linkage with industry and society at large.

An outline of such new in-house courses is given below:

BBA in Risk Management

In the financial world, risk management is

the process of identification, analysis and acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decisions. Essentially, risk management occurs when an investor or fund manager analyzes and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment and then takes the appropriate action given his investment objectives and risk tolerance. Risks can also come from threats of project failures (at any phase in design, development, production etc.), legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters, deliberate attack from an adversary, or events of uncertain or unpredictable root-cause. Thus Risk Management professionals have a wide field of work and can also act as consultants or start own initiatives.

B.Sc in Computational Material Science

Computational Materials Science involves computational tools for solving materials related problems. There exist different mathematical models for investigating problems at multiple length and time scales which help in understanding evolution of material structures (at different length scales) and how these structures effectively control material properties. With this understanding we can select materials for specific applications and also design advanced materials for new applications. There often exist material problems which have important features at multiple length scales. Multiscale modeling technique is often used for such problems. It involves exchange of information between computational tools at different length scales. These models also take input from thermodynamic and kinetic databases for making quantitative predictions. Thus, according to experts, this subject has a wide scope and relevance in today's job market.
