"Not every student is interested, and even able to pursue just regular college degrees. Many of them want to acquire professional skill so as to get exposure in the field of their of job interest. This, I think, is the reason why so many students have chosen to go for these certificate courses alongwith the studies," said the official. He said that regular classes will be held at the Keshavpuram Centre of Campus of learning for these courses. "Students taking these courses would be assisted to join relevant sectors of industry. Depending on the performance during internship with industry, the chances of employment will increase manifold and stipend during internship will be offered to deserving candidates," said Vijay K Thadani, Chairman, CII National Committee on Education, who came up with the idea if starting this course in collaboration with DU. Thadani said that the courses have been clustered in three high-growth segments of the industry - Information Technology, Automotives and Retail.
