On the occasion of Teacher’s day, Vice Chancellor, IUST, Prof Shakil Ahmad Romshoo paid rich tributes to the teachers for their contribution and commitment.

Discussing about NEP-2020, he said that the policy is transformative and the essence of it is allowing students freedom to develop a well-rounded personality, as it affords interdisciplinary learning. He said that at IUST a number of initiatives have been already taken in this regard, “such as introduction of skilling courses, courses in AI/ ML and Design your Degree programme whereby the students would choose their courses based on their inclination and talent.”
