Introduction:
Today’s world is rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected, and the future talent
pipeline to be sourced from the campuses needs to adapt to changes that will keep
accelerating in the future. This new curriculum revamping (R2023) focuses on equipping
learners with skills that will enable them to cope with the foreseeable social and economic
changes and manage often unpredictable realities. The various dimensions of transformation
are designed to nurture skills towards holistic human development. Such skills are acquired
not only on formal courses but in a variety of contexts throughout the academic curriculum.
Four broad dimensions of skills to ensure holistic human development: (1) Personal, (2)
Professional, (3) Interpersonal and (4) Advanced Industrial Technologies skills and
competencies. From this perspective, a new structure called “Integrated Learning
Experiences(ILE)” is introduced in the regulation 2023. This ILE encompass activities that
foster the acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, personal and interpersonal skills, and
technological proficiency. These experiences promote active engagement in meaningful real-
life situations and establish connections between different curricula, co-curricular activities,
and extracurricular pursuits across diverse disciplines. Integrated learning experiences are
concatenated in the academic curriculum for each semester enabling the students to learn,
adapt and transform through experiential learning pedagogy. This approach enriches the
curriculum by incorporating dynamic and up-to-date co-curricular courses and activities that
may not be directly aligned with the students' program of study. It prioritizes the holistic
development of students, fostering their growth and well-roundedness.
